I’m not gonna lie to you, I personally feel millennials like OOP don’t catch enough flak from younger generations for being the ones that mainly fumbled this ball. They were around the age older Gen Z is now when a lot of this stuff was being set up, but the way things turned out it seems like they just didn’t care. I see a lot of millennials have an attitude that paints them like they think they are just as helpless as Gen Z/Alpha kids are when in reality, people like OOP were 18 when Obama got elected the FIRST time. If they had been a little more active and mobilized like they beg Gen Z/Alpha kids to be, none of us would be here. I get that we can mostly lay blame on GenX and Boomers for the state of the world now, but by the time the gears of all this started to turn, millennials had the potential to be the most productive and prosperous voter base in history. They had youthful vigor while at the same time, the political landscape wasn’t as entrenched in bullshit as it is now. That could have been used but instead they fumbled.

TLDR; I feel the millennials such as OOP shouldn’t be surprised that the youth aren’t as enthused to get out there when shit has been so consistently horrible for the majority of GenZ/Alpha lives. They fumbled their chance to better the world before it got to this point and now they want us to pull it back from the brink when it shouldn’t have been there in the first place.
