I feel as if my vote doesn't matter. I fear for rule of law breaking down. I fear the government confiscating my guns. I'm scared for the America my daughter will grow up in. I'm not a conspiracy guy, but I feel as if the left elite is winning the battle. I'll go down swinging - promise you that. Hold the line, my fellow pedes. We're all we got.

How I feel? The lazy ass controlling Baby Boomers are handing the baton to the Lazy ass Millenials, and the Millenials are loving it. They are loving the idea that cheating and not getting punished for it means you win. They love that they can get other people to do everything for them. They love that they don't have to care. Gen X are the ones getting screwed over here, and the Boomers and the Millenials just don't care. The Boomers are happy to pass the torch to their grand kids. It was, probably, always their intention.
The truth is, they're right. GenX can't fight the Boomers and the Millenials. And what the Boomers are handing down to the Millenials is incredibly strong. Which is why we hate it so much. Power and control. I feel like I'm being very abstract, but having a millenial ex girlfriend as of a few months ago, and a lot of millenial friends, along with Boomer parents, etc. I really feel it.
All this was, directly, aimed at screwing over gen x. Some boomers die, which puts the squeeze on the ones who may have fought, but in all, we - who did all the work to build everything we have now - have gotten, effectively, screwed over.
Part of me thinks we may never even get a true GenX president. I think they will try to skip GenX and put a Millenial in next. I have been wrong, I'm not psychic, I'm no expert, I'm just a guy with a keyboard. I, just, see it everywhere I look. And I don't think it's just weird paranoia or conspiracy theory.
I hear what you're saying but the generations are not even close to being monolithic. That makes those parts of your analysis fairly flawed.
Everything is moderately flawed, but think about the age range of the people most likely to be owning businesses during covid, and how many of those are going out of business. Then think about the Millenials and their groups that are already established and have well defined leadership roles. People who know how to run things.
Then think about what will happen when everything opens back up again with all those openings left by GenXers being forced to close their doors. You can't really argue that the majority of small business owners, right now, are GenX, and that this virus scam targets them - specifically - the hardest. I get that the Boomers are taking the most deaths, but if anything - that aids the economy. I love my Dad. I am glad he is Ok. My Mom, too. Don't get me wrong, but the people who plan this shit don't think like that.
The group that benefits the most right now from Covid, and a Biden presidency is - very much - the Millenials. They are young, have groups of friends, go to each other's houses, etc. They are all in groups. They are all online. GenX, on the other hand, has been busy raising their families, building businesses that are about to be shut down, etc. The Baby Boomers turned on their parents. What sort of naive thinking is it to suppose that the Millenials aren't doing the same - right now?
You keep assigning one characteristic to entire generations.
