If JD Vance is the next president, then Gen X will likely never have a president.

Marco Rubio is Gen X, so still possible.

Our one big weakness, though, is our women, who are the ones that really started nerfing kids stuff, bike helmets, play dates, no more dodge ball, etc.

??? Gen X children aren't millennials, they're younger than that. Their kids are in the 20's to teens range right now.

These "generations" are 15 years each. Thats such a huge span. Calling someone born in '82 a millenial is crazy to me.

They gave birth to both.

1965 to 1981.

And, like I said, the Gen Z generation is even worse than my generation.

Probably because they grow up in the country still run by boomers with a very little hope for financial success. They have become disillusioned with the American dream.

Gen X is basically just an extension of boomers, little to no self identity

Boomers fricked the economy and social structure, but you cannot give a pass to the parents.

They raised children who can’t read, can’t have conversations, have high rates of anxiety and other mental health issues, etc.

Gen X mistook cynicism for a virtue, abdicated any and all responsibility for anything that matters, and now nihilistically whines about everything going to shite. Speaking as an older Millennial, I would welcome them to stop bitching and take a seat at the fricking table

I'm Gen X and my kid is Gen Alpha.. skipped over the other two.. but admittedly I got a late start to fatherhood. And I'm tail end of Gen X.

Gen x was the last of the real kids.
I got nothing against boomers either. Those were the last generation of real real men and the woman sticking to the marriage no matter what. Everthing after that no comment.
