Baby boomers. It all comes down to baby boomers hating Generation X.
Oh really??
Yes, really. Look at where all the bullshit comes from. There are plenty of things to complain about where Obama is concerned. But alot of what is said is just bullshit. Stupid bullshit. The bullshit almost always comes from Baby Boomers, adhering to Baby Boomer mentalities and visions of the world that belong in times past.
Obama's Presidency marks the transition from Baby Boomer power, to Gen X power. The Boomers are desperately trying to hold onto power and maintain relevance. The Boomers have always hated us. That's why they named us "Generation X." They've been telling us since we were kids that we'll amount to nothing. Now look at us, sitting in the Oval Office. It pisses them off. They can't stand that we're doing things differently than their way. Not only that, but
our way is even better than their way.
Sure, there's cross contamination. Some Boomers are more like Gen X. Some Gen X are rigid holdovers of Baby Boomer thinking. But all in all, the political divisions we see in this moment of history are more generational than they are partisan.
