This seems more accurate.
The top labels are reversed. I doubt a lesbian icon would be something boomers would appreciate.
Not to mention her capacity for change.
The first woman in space was a lesbian and I wouldn't want it any other way.

No, the first American woman in space was a lesbian.
Valentina Tereshkova, who beat Sally Ride to space by twenty years and two days, isn’t a lesbian (as far as we know). She’s been married twice, both times to men.

You're gonna need it kiddo.
Pitting 'generations' against each other is a classic tactic to divide the people on meaningless bullshit. Don't fall for it.
Culture war is a means to distract us from class war
Gen X was Trump’s biggest supporter in the last election. More than boomers even.
Obviously not true of every Gen X’er, but when Gen Z talks about boomers they’re usually inadvertently referring to Gen X.

We were never known for our political acumen, I'm afraid.
"Caring about things is cringe, like, gag me. Voting doesn't do ANYTHING so I sit it out unlike you chumps, and I'm telling my kids the same thing."
"Why aren't any interests represented? That must be somebody's fault. Somebody who isn't me. Hey, did you get your tickets for Star Wars Celebration yet?"
And the current poster child for Gen X is Elon Musk.

That Gen Z fighter is going to turn around, hit their trainer in the nuts and call them a boomer.

The generations are:
- Boomer: anybody older than me who I disagree with.
- Millennial: anybody younger than me who I disagree with
- Gen Z: anyone who uses whichever social networks are taboo at the moment.
The are no other generations.

The world has been fighting Boomers for 4 decades. They're not all villains, but certainly the majority of villains are Boomers.
Probably because the majority of people are boomers. They're called baby boomers because their population exploded across the world.
Also let's be frank, it's a class divide. Boomers had a huge leg up, and then those who amassed great wealth are the ones we see in power making decisions that close doors to the younger generations.
But back to my point, of course those who have had 60+ years to amass and invest wealth are going to be richer, especially when they had something to invest at the start.
I think when we consider that Gen Z men are running to the right, we should rethink boomers as a scapegoat. It's not the boomers. It's the rich and the Andrew Tates of the world who are in the boxing ring.
Like I could probably take down a random boomer, but a billionaire could hire Mike Tyson and I'd be fucked in the ring.

I propose a name change for them.
Their parents were "The Greatest Generation"
I think we should start referring to Boomers as "The Worst Generation."

Let's ignore discrepancies in economics, geography, race and culture and suggest people behave, en mass, based on the decades they were born in.
This is just astrology for the politically feeble.

Gen X is usually on the boomer’s side.
GenX has been fighting boomers from the start, we're just exhausted now.
GenX has been fighting boomers from the start,
Bullcrap. We were too busy pretending politics didn't affect us to fight anyone.
Thanks for the apathy, I don't think it worked but it sure as shit looked cool.
Fighting? Us Gen Xers followed in the system the boomers laid out. What fighting??? The older Gen Xers got past the door. The younger half got shut out.
In the same way boomer hippies were "fighting" against their progenitors, sure.
Wearing flannel and complaining about the status quo does not make you a freedom fighter.
When a bunch of old MAGA bastards stormed the Capitol, were they using walkers because they're over 70 on average or were they a crowd about 45-60 in age?
The comic is funny, but only in the sense that is a media presentation trying to make an age war rather than class war.

You can always tell you've become a stupid person when any of these generation terms come up in your speech in any capacity.
As a millennial I ... welll ... uh ... fuck you're right
Typical. Slacking, unseen.
Weren't the statistics from the last election a big deal because Gen Z actually didn't align with Millennials?
I'm pretty sure I saw people getting mad at the number of young voters who opted to vote for Trump
Could be wrong though
No, they're just less left leaning than Millennials were at that age. 66% of Millennials voted for Obama, whereas only 54% of Gen Z voted for Harris.
With Gen Z there's also a huge gender disparity, the boys are NOT okay, they're the Hitler Youth.
That said, Gen X voted for Trump in greater numbers than the Boomers.
Gen X aren't spectators. They're fucking MAGA, and they were also the ones writing the shitty generation war articles.
Gen X is the generation that got just enough from their boomer and silent Gen parents that they don't really care to change anything and keep up the system but pretend they hate it.
They act like they are separated and completely uninvolved but they are the last generation to have a semblance of a nice thing and they won't rock the boat. Especially now that they are getting more of the positions their parents held.
They may pretend they aren't here, but they are, and pretending they stuck to themselves and they don't do anything that impacts others is just wishful thinking on their part.

You didn't need to be "left leaning" to vote for Harris. Just, you know, not insane.
Is it that they're less left leaning? Cause when you put the names of the candidates there (Obama vs Harris), it just sounds like a weaker candidate that didn't move their base as much.

Obama was a far more compelling candidate. Don't blame the voters for the DNC pushing milquetoast candidates.

We should be fighting the 1%, not each other.
You forgot the fact that the 1% keep us poorly educated and propagandized against our own interests on purpose.
We're so fucking stupid as a result, that Americans believe the following unironically:

I'm so tough. I'm the toughest. Gen Z and Boomers aren't tough enough. I'm the though one. Yeah, I might have been neglected as a child but that made me tough, definitely not emotionally stunted. Tough tough tough. I'm tough.
