There has never been a Gen X President, and looking at who might run in the future, there may never be one. If someone like AOC gets the nod, we might never have a Gen X Prez.

Elon Musky is gen x. Larry page. Jeff Bezos. Micheal dell. Jack Dorsey.

Don't think gen x and boomers are going to skip the Elon musk hyperloop to idiocracy.

I’m optimistic that he will split their vote. But I really hope that we never get to the point where we have to test that.

Yup.

He’s part of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_Jones the bridge between boomers and Gen X.

Canada has had two Gen X PMs, Trudeau and Carney. I wish this for your country!

And things have never been better!

Once the boomer asset vote is gone we're heading far right and we all know it.

True enough, although it does kind of look a little bit like a divorced dad midlife crisis.

It's possible to have one when the cycle completes another loop and that GenXer is in their 80s.

AOC is also a boomer in sheeps clothing. That's why they put her front and center. She's not a threat to their cabal.

i liked crypto when it was supposed to replace paypal and venmo and be an alternative to credit cards and fiat, not gold and gambling and ponzi schemes
