@EloiseHamann I’ve seen it broken down on numerous news programs, it’s so stupid. I am a child of The Summer of Love, my father lucky to not have been drafted for Vietnam, my mother not allowed to have a line of credit in her own name until I was 5, and witness to the destruction of the middle class started by Ronnie Raygun. Of COURSE I wouldn’t ever vote for a Republican !
@JLordanKelly @EloiseHamann we’re the punk generation - do they know nothing? We’ve been a voiceless audience to the destructiveness of the boomer generation, it’s why we originally rebelled (well, me anyway - punk was political at its core).
Jared Yates Sexton chronicles our time in ‘American Rule’ perfectly.
@JLordanKelly I'm 61. Late Boomer. I have only voted Republican once. In the early 90s. Governer of Illinois. Edgar. He was a good governor. Most of my female friends, vote DEM. Married and unmarried. Regardless of age.

@JLordanKelly Early GenX here and I've always voted Dem. The Repubs want to destroy everything we've gained and I refuse to let them
@JLordanKelly I am exactly the same demographic. Never voted R in my life. #Politics
@JLordanKelly Also GenX and I have been voting dem for thirty years. I will never, ever vote for a republican because even before maniacal mango I never liked them. Happens when you grow up in the Reagan years when there were so many promises and then coming of age in the 90’s you run face first into a recession. Then they called us “slackers”, right.
I think GenX has more in common with GenZ than both gens realize.
Both generations are smaller than the ones that came before them and are fighting to be recognized. With Gen X, we are lucky if we show up on a graph slapped between the boomers and the millennials like an afterthought. GenZ are fighting for their future like we did in the 90’s with Rock the Vote. Happy to see that the GOP is so terrified of GenZ as to suggest ratifying the 26th amendment. They should be afraid, very afraid.
@JLordanKelly the only republican I ever voted for was McCain one time and I am in my 50s.
@JLordanKelly I am over 60. I used to sometimes but Republican before the tea party came along and started the crazy. I am now true blue. I frequently say my views have not changed. The republicans did.
@JLordanKelly 67 here. Never have I ever voted for those asswipes. TRUE BLUE DEM.
@JLordanKelly OMG, I don't know how anyone can believe this. Do they live in a cave?
