You wrote out my thoughts exactly
My biggest issue with Gen X is since they all got mind broken by Reagan even the libs are centrist shithead types from the ones I've met. Like with boomers sometimes you'll get a union person who's still got some of the old left fire, Millennials may be cringe but a lot are still left-libs being pipelined into socialism.
The amount of X leftists just feels really low to me.

Yeah, I think you got it right with Reagan really fucking with them. I worked at a place with a lot of people who were supposedly "progressive", "counter culture" etc etc and when I unionized it came out just how many gen x people were suuuuper anti union, or "I'm pro union just not here". It took the most work to try to flip them, I was really shocked but then I figured they were exposed to the most propaganda and witnessed how dismal unions were at their worst
