Re: Generational differences when it comes to how you feel about politics?

I would say, from my personal experience, that the difference is not that one generation or another has more sane politics or is more insane.

But I think that there is a generational difference in *how* people are insane about politics. In other words, younger people who are insane about politics are insane about politics in different ways from older people.

This. The pearl clutching "all boomers don't care about these issues" gasping is so tonedeaf and sanctimonious. If young people are such politically savvy folks, why is the voter turnout worse the younger you go?

+1000

There are a LOT of people who are Generation X and older in my community who care about these issues. We just have more productive things to do than constantly screaming at other people, many of whom already agree with us on at least some of these issues.

Cause young people are busy. Classes and second or third jobs and having to take care of their elderly relatives, etc etc. We need to make election day a holiday.

Sure that would be ideal. But it's not an excuse if someone is allegedly so much more politically savvy and better than others.

It is tonedeaf, but I think the media has tried hard to instigate resentment between older people and younger people to keep them focused safely away from the fact that the rich keep getting richer while everyone else is being pushed into poverty. From what I've seen, Millenials have done a good job ripping apart allegations that the economy is bad because they are lazy and don't want to work, save, buy houses, etc. Allegations that "Boomers" in general are to blame for politicians being greedy and shitty, and are taking up more than their share in social services are equally cynical, but I've seen less pushback. The same sorry excuses for human beings who helped themselves to social security money are trying to pretend it's underfunded because there's just "too many" and "too long-lived" old people.
