The trouble with this graphic is that millennials are part of the problem now. The oldest are over forty. We've all seen the footage of Jan 6th. There were very few boomers in their 60 and 70s.

There's a whole fucking generation between Boomers and Millennials. Yes, Gen X does get overlooked often, that's the running joke. But they're far more likely to have soaked up Boomerisms and benefited from better economic ROI than Millennials who hit college just at the cusp of the 2000s, and for whom everything thereafter has been a shit toboggan.

Don't forget the Millennials who graduated high school/college during the 08 housing crisis.

And we just saw the first corrupt Millennials enter office this election.

It will be 20 more years before the Millennials are the geritocracy and hold any real power

By then our country will be over

Matt Gaetz is an elder millennial like me, and he is a fucking dipshit... and he's going to be attorney general of the United States despite being a proven pedophile and having committed statutory rape AND has minimal legal experience.
