This is so utterly stupid I can't believe it - the idea that any one "generation" has traits like stealing credit. I cannot believe you are serious about this inanity.

And have you yet explained how the slavery-holding generations demonstrated the "older tradition" of making the world better? Your argument is so manifestly bad I can't believe you are ready to stand by it.

I don't think that idea - you know, the one literally described as "The American Dream" - is something that is unique to me, but I do think it is a traditional ideal of our country, at least in the last century when it was described.

But I do enjoy that when you correct boomers on the actual order of events in history, and distinguish between what they *enjoyed* versus what they *accomplished* they become sputtering mad. The best they can do is "but Obama" who passed Bob Dole's healthcare plan.

As an aside: TBH, I’m willing to give Obama a pass on that score. He did what was politically possible on health care while simultaneously dealing with the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.

Oh it was a real accomplishment. I was suggesting that Gen X adopt Obama from the generation that calls him Kenyan, right up until he started complaining about cancel culture. And then I mourned, for he is a boomer.

Which reminds me, I can't remember how old you are. Are you a GenXer? Or do I have to unfollow you?

They were when they started out until, say, “Rubber Soul” or “Revolver.” Nothing wrong with that. They paid their dues and were an exceptionally good boy band.
