I'm a very young Xer (August 79) and my kids are Gen Z. My sister was born in 71 and her kid is Gen Z.
I do not personally know a single other Gen Xer that is awake. They are all focused on their careers and sports and still listen to MSM. I do think if they could wake the hell up, they could be a powerful force for change and leadership, especially the 50+ men. Looks like it's gonna be painful for them though.
Same here. Sample pool is roughly half Libs, half centrists/GOPers. Sadly even the latter-day Reaganites in their late 40s/early 50s are utterly stuck in the suburban rat race mentality. HS Prom. Getting Billy or Mary to the good college (with crushing debt). Redoing the kitchen. Posting pics of the recent Cancun trip on FB. Etc, etc...
Part of me thinks that if they focus too long on the pandemic lockdowns and the Vaxx plan and the insane foreign policy and mass immigration and rising crime and social unrest, they will buckle mentally....so instead they are consciously doubling down on keeping up with the Joneses and life pre-2020 to the best they can.
If there is one silver-lining, if you can even call it that, it is the slow creep of "something unsettling" happening to the economy with every trip to the grocery store and gas station. That they talk about. Not in a scared way. But more in a "I see it" way. Many don't want to show or admit they are actually struggling (b/c it flies in the face of that they are not, in fact, keeping up with the Joneses) and this would be a tacit admission they may be f*****.
Gen X’er. Wife and myself both born in ‘70. Both wide awake.
Multiple gen x people I work with are awake. Not everyone, but more than you would know because they all don’t announce it. We work for a large corp.
Wife has the same. Not all, but many gen x people at her work are the same.
We are out there. A lot of us don’t broadcast it. We sit and watch others around us drinking the kool aid and selling their souls. All the while knowing that we are different, set apart, this is not our home.
We are. But I also wish more of us got it and am disappointed some don't. I see a lot of hope in some youngins around here. The silent majority won't stay silent forever. Starting to see people getting tired of the nonsense and it's glorious.
Even the most stubborn libs amongst my friends have been awake for awhile. But you're right about our Gen Z kids. Mine awoke in middle school on her own without any nudging from me.
Thats the one thing in his post I agree with. Zoomers are awake. They dont give a fuck but they are awake.
Lets see how my grandkids do. A couple years ago without prompting they marched around the yard chanting Lets Go Brandon. They were 6 to 10. I got them all on the back 40 shooting every Sunday when their parents come to visit. But I did that with my kids and my youngest still is a lib. Not a libtard with TDS but still too liberal for my liking.
Gen x here. It's embarrassing how many of our gen are stubbornly unawake. I'm thankful our kids (zoomers) are getting it. They might be the key.
I would have guessed gen x is the most awake of the generations.
It is. No clue what the other guy is talking about. And our kids are millennials not zoomers. My three kids range from 38 years old to 27.
