 I am part of Gen X. This election felt like to me the first real victory over the Boomers. 
 How so? Many boomers voted for President Trump. 🇺🇸 
 This election was the realization of the Ron Paul Revolution that many had hoped for in 2008 and 2012. 
 🤠💯💯💯 
 Could you elaborate? I feel like a lot of boomers also voted for trump 
 Boomers vote left. 
 Do they though? 
 I'm big on generational historical analysis, but living in this moment, I'm more focused on the institutions. They have long ago been captured, boomers or not. The boomers let it happen but this election is a victory against the institutional and academic elite who have had control over the process and the narrative. 

Hopefully we have blown up their importance and relevance entirely. Hopefully, Trump blows up several agencies, for real. 
 Quite litterally a boomer won over a gen x candidate. 
 Do you call Kabala a gen x? She's a perfect example of political activist of the 60's. Fuck them.  
 Lolol stop saying the truth out loud and celebrate your 80 year old young president  
 Same 
 Why? 
 Thank me later

 Obama admin was the gen X win. The foundation of Trumps base is boomers. Shitty clown take as usual 
 the good news is that Boomers are dying off at an increasing rate.
