I'm in the middle of the GenX age range and it wouldn't surprise me that GenXers are on the Trump side. Many are scared of the future and retirement is rapidly approaching. When you have uncertainties of your economic future, it's easy to fall prey to lies that today and the future will be financially worse under Harris.

Social media has proven that people are more likely to engage with negative than positive. Saying, "Harris will destroy America" hits emotions more than "Trump will improve the economy." Many Gen X women love their Facebook.

How? Trump was horrific for the economy. His policies drove our economy into the ditch and then he destroyed the world economy with his covid policies. He is a chaos agent and is terrible for anyone worried about the future.

But you see, Commie-la is going to raise taxes on anyone making over $400k. I mean, my spouse and I barely break $100k but it could one day affect us!

Trump’s 2017 tax legislation was horrible for working class folks.  (Eliminated the home office tax credit and unreimbursed business expenses)  It was a heist by the rich (again) that the press predictably failed to articulate.

is that not still the current code?

Jamacia...  back in the day.  But it occasionally circulates in the US.  Fun fact, the second time around it's MUCH more dangerous.  So fuck mosquitos and fuck the Bone-break Fever

Don't forget the middle class tax "cuts" that expire next year, while the corporate ones do not expire ever.

The last time I had it i was 6 years old. It was the sickest I've ever been in my life.... till I got Covid this year. Nothing else I've ever had comes close to those two events.

Expand  

I've got Covid now for the second time.  Not as bad as the first, but fuck me this thing sucks.  Took 3 days for the brain fog to lift.

Can you elaborate on this? For starters I believe most millenials are Boomer kids, not Gen X kids (their second families). But I'm curious what you mean. 

Expand  

I mean something seems to happen to people's brains after they lose an argument to someone they consider themselves above. The messenger is more important than the message. They are above you so they have to be right. It causes them to dig deeper and lean even harder into the cognitive dissonance

And you think this is somehow specifically a Gen X thing...why?

Not specifically. But theyre at the age currently where a lot of them have adult children figuring out life for themselves and pushing back on the bs their parents believe.

In 10 years my millenial cohorts will be going through the same thing with their ipad kids

I am hopeful that traditional polling methods are undercounting or underestimating a groundswell of anti-Trump sentiment

I’m not going to say this is likely, but I think it’s more likely than the converse.

They aren't canvassing because they closed all of the field offices - their entire ground game strategy is to hold rallies.

That's it.

So they're just preaching to their own choir.

I don't even understand why this is fucking news that gets any fucking coverage. We all know why there isn't any canvassing. This is the kind of shit folks should be discussing in post-mortem after the election, not fucking now.

While it doesn's surprise me they didn't learn the key lesson of 2020: GOTV works, I am shocked. Biden's prudent decision to not do GOTV for pandemic purposes, while the GOP was knockig doors definitely bit him in the ass on election day.

Lara Trump wasn't running the RNC then.  Getting her put in charge of it was the biggest grift they've ever pulled off.

Their entire strategy is to funnel as much of the campaign money as possible in to the Trump family coffers.

Expand  

The cherry on top of Trump getting his ass handed to him is the GOP is going to have a negative bank balance and owe millions in unpaid bills across the country.  The only business Trump has successfully run is his fleecing of the GOP of all their money.

Schedule changes:

Fetterman will replace Harris on the planned PA bus tour tomorrow for Walz post-debate since Harris will be doing VP stuff for the storms (touring storm damage)

Harris still going to MI/WI later this week and NC next week

I don't know what you mean.  It was the bestest economy.  No one had better tariffs.  We had so many white jobs.  Some would call it the perfect economy.

I’m right smack in the middle of Gen X. Hey, if America/The World burns down in my lifetime, we’re gonna have a hell of a soundtrack queued up.

“That’s great it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, an aeroplane, Lenny Bruce is not afraid…”

Jesus, the lyrics to that song are chillingly prescient given today’s climate. Michael Stipe knew what was coming.

Expand  

Stipe was born Jan. 1960. He’s a boomer. Ok?  Radio Free Europe, 1981.

1) Stipe is a boomer is the craziest thought.  

 

2) It made me actually google it.  Even google's generative AI is in denial about it (because he totally is).

No, Michael Stipe is not a boomer, as he was born on January 4, 1960, making him a member of Generation X. 
 
 
Stipe is the lyricist and frontman of the band R.E.M. He has been described as a rock legend who helped define American independent culture. His songwriting style is elliptical, and his lyrics are poetic and range from manic melancholy to post-apocalyptic hope. 
 
 
Stipe has also been involved in other creative projects, including:
  • Producing an album by Athens singer-songwriter Vic Chesnutt
  • Sponsoring a Deep South night at the New Music Seminar to showcase young Dixie underground bands
  • Co-founding the nonprofit film company C-00, which produces public-service announcements and films

Stipe might be a Boomer but R.E.M. belongs to Gen X. 😁

And Gen X created the "mix tape" -- the OG playlists.
