    If you are an American and under 37, your entire adult life has been under the shadow of the Forever Wars, the Great recession, a pandemic, and, it looks like, another recession. This is what is shaping the generational divide on politics.

        Plus the crippling cost of post-high school education (even technical education).

        I had a Twitter exchange yesterday wherein someone older told me to shut up because they actually remembered the crash and Obama swooping in to save the day. I'm 35.

        I mean, you were only 24 when it happened! 24 isn't old enough to remember things right? (Isn't that how science works?)pic.twitter.com/yiYRcOelER

        In a vague sense, but you're not really paying attention to politics in the same way. I'm 35 and I can dimly remember the '90s, but I never got any benefit from the hot job market. And we were in Afghanistan before I turned 18.
