In my experience, online gen xers are the first ones to say, “Actually, if you were a serious person, you’d understand that Democrats can’t do [wildly popular thing their base is begging them to do] because of [stupid, made up reason], and that [Democratic leader’s] decision to [do incredibly unpopular thing the donors want] is a brilliant strategy.”
If it helps, I’m Gen X and I think being anti-vax is dangerous and idiotic, I still wear a mask when going out, I think Trump is a demented pedo rapist, capitalism is going to doom us all and nazis can fuck right off.

Like with hippy boomers, some are still counter culture in X. But more have bought into capitalism in some fashion than being against it.
