      1. Let's revisit this imbecilic tweet. I think it's part of a larger phenomenon of millennial-bashing.https://twitter.com/JoeNBC/status/894536930121187328 …

      Young men in the 1940s liberated Europe from Nazism and the Pacific from the Japanese Empire. Today, too many stay home playing video games. https://twitter.com/joenbc/status/894536218591014913 …

      2. Of course, the old decrying the softness & corruption of the young is an ancient theme. But millennial-bashing has a particular salience

      3. Generational criticism is politically salient right now because there is a genuine divide between generations along ideological lines.

      4. Generation post-65 tends to be whiter, more conservative, much more pro-Trump. Under 35, more diverse & leftists.

          Agree with some of this. The fact that the young are so lame makes me feel better about stealing their future.

          But the one thing everyone can agree on is that Gen-X is the best, right? After all, nobody b̶a̶s̶h̶e̶s̶ remembers us.

          one interesting element to consider: I first recall millennial bashing becoming prominent during great recession. ("boomerang kids")

          millennial bashing is terrible, which is why your article bashing the dirtbag left was so dumb. It was the liberal version of this lmao.
