My son is 57, born in 1968. When he was in high school Ronald Reagan was President. There has been some research done and polls conducted that some researchers say indicates if you were taught in high school about the importance of voting and democracy, in other words civics, you might be more inclined to vote along the party lines of whomever was president during that time. My son now describes himself as a conservative, not a Republican and has not voted for Trump in any of the three elections where Trump was on the ballot. When I was in high school JFK was President.
I feel like i fall between boomer and gen x, being born in '62 to racist republicans; but i did the work when i saw the damage it did to myself and others with all the hate and resentment. I really don't relate to many white americans at all at this point.
Excellent work as always my brother. You hit something that I often think about from my high school experiences. There are some who don’t fall into the magat category but they are few and far between.
And then, Obama came along and solidified ALL of the above. These MAGAts sicken me.

Let’s face it, Chuck…our generation (Gen X) has been a disaster for our country.

As a fellow Gen Xer, I'm surprised at this survey result enough to wonder how accurate it is. In any case, interesting piece.
Solid truth! Excellent piece!!!
