re: #395 HappyWarrior

Well obviously not all Gen-Xers are like that. Most of my Gen-X first cousins are more closer to me but still it’s something I’ve noticed that contrasts them with my generation and the boomers. The Republicans seem to get their highest votes not with the elderly but with the 40-50 bracket.

I’m in the 40-50 age bracket, and the biggest reason I tended to vote Republican until the election of 2004 was my perception of the Carter years as an unmitigated disaster brought about by the Democrats.

The first term of GW Bush was enough to show me what an unmitigated disaster truly looks like, and the second term just drove the point home further.
