Baby boomers comprised a larger share of voters in 2024, accounting for 32%, but they are trending lower after hitting a peak of 36% in 2016.
Ocasio-Cortez, a millennial herself, expects the younger generation will soon tip the scales in American politics.
“Millennials are not punk kids anymore. We’re grown adults with mortgages and kids,” she said. “And we—that generation is starting to be decisive at the polls. And there is anger at being ignored, sidelined, having our economic futures mortgaged by the generations that came before us on everything from the economy to climate. And we’re taking the reins.”
From global warming to debt crisis to lack of affordable health insurance (all intentional), Boomers have definitely overstayed their welcome.
I just did, same age as you. I’d never changed my hair color, but the clean look and tradwife fashion and whatever need some stronger counterculture (I was already dressed in black all the time).
It’s surprisingly easy! You need to be careful with the materials, but other than that, it is doable at home. My hair is dark pink-orangey now. I’m loving it.
Currently trads are the counter culture.
“Counter Culture” people have been the norm since the late 70s. But people LOVE thinking of themselves as the underdog.
Until I can be fired for being trad, you’re wrong.
@Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com Okay - so what is it you are saying that you can be fired for? Being a Nazi?
Wtf are you talking about dude? Where is the Nazi shit coming from? Use context clues.
Let me ask it differently then - what group can you be that will get you fired?
You won’t get fired for being trad in essentially any job. You can get fired for dying your hair in a ton of different jobs. Trad people aren’t counterculture.
Same as some demagogue crying for 10 years he is being canceled. He has 25 million viewers. Shit is mainstreamed and some people didn’t hear the shot.
@LittleBorat3 sorry - who are you talking about?
Fill in your favorite, right wing influencer that is being supposedly suppressed up to millions viewers and look how mainstream these views became.
If you ask them they are the underdog.
Okay… Everyone likes to see themselves as the underdog. Based on the state of “influences” I would contend left leaning ones are doing it as well. Maybe it is the nature of having an audience? Or jockeying for authority.
