I am 71. It occurred to me this evening that most on this board are likely a "few" years younger

40. Thanks for posting!

Gen X here, 53. I remember thinking Republicans were wrong but not bad, also.
But still don't have perspective before the 80s. My mom is as liberal as they come, my career field is about the same. Ended up buying property where I grew up, red area, and after 20 years gone. Shocked and mortified by open statements and beliefs by the conservatives, I was getting "reacquainted" with.

Yes, clearly I've been in a bubble. However, these are people within a 5 year range in age, of me--who thought themselves open-minded 30 years ago. (And were more then) I find Gen X split in two, but haven't researched it. By that I mean, those who work a lot on staying current on technology and personal reinvention, and those who attempted the blue collar path, which didnt pan out for our gen the best---& got stuck. Seems like a demarcation there, as far as meanness. Just observational.

I like, and have a lot of faith in millennials and gen z too.
