    Same. I don’t even know why people shit on us. We’ve never really been in power, probably never will be --Obama is the closest thing we’ll ever have to an Xer president and even then he’s technically a boomer-- it’s just a fact that in comparison to the boomers and millennials, demographically we’ve never mattered.

    Our little window for demographic leadership, based on our coming into the age in which we’d ostensibly be capable of governance, was stomped on by the boomer gerontocracy and the rage of the far more numerous millennials.

    The upshot is that us Xers never really had a real go at demographic power, and to the contrary, were left to pick up what scraps we could from the absolute mayhem that the boomers left us with.
