Every Gen Xer I've ever met are the most apathetic people in the world. They do not give a single shit about what happens outside of their immediate vicinity, no matter what it is. The youngest ones are all middle aged now so they do the "when you get older you'll get more conservative" shtick to millennials and zoomers too.
Gen X had a week where they were a cool generation, but it didnt feel like their push to the left wasnt strong enough.
The growth of every subsequent generation leftward is important, but will be just a little incomplete.
