Sad to say, it looks like we can blame Gen X even more than Boomers for Trump.
Speaking as someone squarely in the Gen X age bracket that votes regularly, and more than just for presidential elections (and never for TFG). I know far more people my age that don’t vote. In my state/districts in 2020/2022/2024, it didn’t matter luckily, however the complete checking out is narrow-minded, and infuriating, as most seem to believe that voting makes them complicit in perpetuating the broken system. There are a couple that I’m glad didn’t vote, as I know if they had, they would go down ballot R because that is what their dad did/does and heaven forbid any they spend any time to read/listen or any critical thinking is asked of them.
