In reply to the discussion: small but interesting sample of voters in rural Georgia [View all]Sky Jewels
(9,148 posts)12. I'm in that old GenX/young Boomer demo of 50-64.
In general, it's a been a stubbornly right wing group. The douchey idiots in my high school in the early 80s loved them some Ronnie. The good news from a voting perspective is that we're a relatively small bunch, especially compared to older Boomers and the generations that came after Gen X. A lot of us old Gen Xers had Silent Generation parents who were born during the Depression, so that was also a relatively small group that gave produced a relatively small amount of offspring. One theory for why this group is so nasty is that we received "peak lead poisoning," which makes you lose IQ points and more likely to lack compassion and empathy ... the perfect recipe to create a Republican.
