    Exhibit A: They’re politics. All the problems we have today were voted in by them

    Exhibit B: They are objectively less educated than later generations.

    I could go on

      Less educated, but you failed to provide the requsted actual objective proof and substituted opinion? Less educated, yet you can’t use “they’re” properly? Your actions seem to indicate you’re a secret Gen X’er by your own metrics. Many of our political problems stem from the Reagan Administration, yet Gen X, which started in 1965 (and I think that’s too early to start that bracket), would have been too young to legally vote for Reagan.

      I could go on

      Oh, by all means. Please do.

        Bro it’s called autocorrect. This is what mean, your generation is not tech literate either.

          Lol, your response is “No, u…” because you can’t be bothered to proofread?

          I’m getting a pretty solid impression that you blame others for your problems while accepting no responsibility for your part in them.

          Have a nice day.

            I posted my proof. And this is the lame ass deflection tactics your generation always uses. You’re trying to discredit all my arguments because of one typo. And no, I don’t proof read for internet arguments. It’s not that important to me.

            But you know go ahead and tell yourself you’re right because you want to conflate a lack of education with autocorrect typos.

              No, you posted statistics that show silent and boomer generations as less educated than X, and millennials marginally more educated than X. So therefore by your own statistics boomers and silent are the most ignorant generations alive. You can’t even read your own statistics. You have a conclusion that you’re sticking to no matter what, even if your own “proof” proves you wrong. You skipped past every other rebuttal I offered or you blame autocorrect, boomers, and X for everything wrong. You didn’t even know who Gen X could vote for, and I bet you didn’t even check to see who the largest voting blocks were for following presidents. You just keep making shit up to suit who you want to blame for whatever issues you have.

              Dude, just stop. Pretty shitty attitude when every X’er I know understands millennial problems, along with following gens, and really fucking hopes you can get your ass out there and vote so ALL of us can fix shit and live in a better place. E: feel free to check my comment history if you want to know where I stand.

                You’re just arguing semantics like a pedantic dweeb. In not sure how proving Gen X and Boomers are less educated than millennials disproves my point about them being the most ignorant.

                Everything you’ve said just amounts to “nuh uh”. I’ve posted several stats showing Boomers have less education, and have the most real estate. You’ve yet to produce one single fact. But you sure caught that one typo, bravo.

                And you make up you’re own definitions like with Reagan. I KNOW Gen X couldn’t have voted for Regan. But many of them did vote for Bush Sr., Clinton, Bush Jr. and a slew of reactionary politician at every level of government.

                Cope as much as you like but THE PAST IS PROLOGUE. While millennials bare some responsibility many of today’s societal ills can be traced back to decisions made before their time.

                And we CONTINUE see these reactionary politics from Boomers and Gen X. The average age of a Republican is 55. Squarely in the age range of Boomers and Gen X.

                TL;DR Refute what I said with FACTS are shut up.
