The GOP is literally dying off

117. Oh for crying out loud.

The statisticians don’t break it down by your particular standards, so you throw a tantrum rather than doing a small bit of thinking?

What’s wrong with you?

In 2016, 13 of the 20 years of the 45-64 age group were Boomers. They are also the vast majority of that age group segment, since the biggest birth number years of all time happened in the mid- to late-50s. Those people would have been in their late 50s and early 60s in 2016.

Seven years of the 65+ age group were also both Boomers and the vast majority of that age group as well, for two reasons: 1) The sheer numbers of them born in 1945-1951 in comparison to previous years, and then 2) the dramatic drops that happen in the population at every five year point after age 65, because, you know, old age kills more people than anything else.

You can also figure out that gen Xers were part of the 45-64 age group (about 7 years of it), but almost the entirety of the 30-44 group (around 13 of its 15-year span), while millennials would have taken up all of the 18-30, and only 2 years of the 30-44.

Comprehending the breakdown by your arbitrary standard would have taken only some basic arithmetic and a nominal bit of flexible thinking, rather than being the typical spoiled boomer and wanting everything handed to you on a silver platter.

And before you get all pissy about that appellation, I’m a late boomer who is embarrassed to be forced into that category, given how those of us at the tail end of the boomers have ZERO in common with the rest of you. Those of us born as JFK babies were no older than 8 when Woodstock happened, FFS. What would we know know about the “classic” boomer 60s peace love dope experiences? I know as much about that as I do about what lies under the frosted crust of Europa.
