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.
I'll have you know my first organizing was on the Jesse Jackson campaign of 1988 (where we won my all white precinct on caucus night, albeit in Boulder) and my first donation was to Bernie Sanders for House of Representative was in 1990, after reading about his campaign in In These Times.
