As a Canadian…I didn’t do shit!
aWanderingPiano@reddit (OP)
WWII included.

I do not know one single person our age, who would/did vote for that guy.
I mean, that's just selection bias on my part, but still.
aWanderingPiano@reddit (OP)
Weird. I know a shit ton.

Before we self-indict, how many actual votes were cast by GenX? I mean, if a group only casts three total votes but they're all for Trump, that stat shows that they voted 100% for him - bout would three votes matter?
I guess I'm asking because all our lives we've been brushed off - first by the Boomers and then by the Millennials - as there not being enough of us for anyone else to worry what we thought, what we did, or what we cared about; so all of a sudden WE are the deciding factor?
aWanderingPiano@reddit (OP)
Its in the graph. 🤷 Our demo was the only majority gop demographic.
SimilarSide0825@reddit
Nope, not this one. I've always known y'all were fucked in the head.
aWanderingPiano@reddit (OP)
Lolol right on

That’s not a gen X breakdown. Lots of boomers in that range.
Maleficent-Aside-171@reddit
Exactly. The oldest Xers are turning 60 this year. 61-65 yo are boomers.

How did the smallest, quietest cohort finally do something and it was fucking this?
Jesus Christ, guys. I knew some of y’all were challenged with long term planning in high school, but I thought you’d grown out of it.

It’s not who voted, it’s who didnt. Harris got 15 MILLION FEWER votes than Biden, while Trumps numbers stayed level. The stink of GenX apathy all over this.
Existing-Leopard-212@reddit
THAT sounds like us.
WideWeekend4150@reddit
So disappointed in our generation. For all that we talk about our generation as the generation that was left to fend for themselves, we certainly showed that we didn’t learn to cut through the bluster and see a person for who they really are.

Resentment is a powerful motivator for many. I suppose that, as more of us get closer to not being able to retire, we’ll lash out and become more selfish. (Not speaking for myself! I’m crying blue tears today.)
Erob3031@reddit
Heck yeah we did it!
portageParkPunk@reddit
GUYS. MATH.
"It was us" only if the data shows that these age group voted in equal numbers.
That data is missing from this chart.
dmcdd@reddit
That works for me.
CatsEatGrass@reddit
It wasn’t me.
Bl8kStrr@reddit
GenX saw right through the bullshit.

All political posts must be in the moderator designated threads only.
Arizona5631@reddit
Woohoo! Go Trump!
waaaghboyz@reddit
Half of X are boomers, mentally
Thick-Frank@reddit
Precisely
sawyer_whoopass@reddit
“Not I”, said the cat.
Bhulaskatah@reddit
It wasn’t me.
Expat111@reddit
Bizarre and disappointing.
BTSavage@reddit
AggravatedSquirrel@reddit
It wasn’t me!!!
HatRemov3r@reddit
Ashamed of us then
