Damn, that's interesting!

I am Gen X, so I know a lot of Gen X people, and maybe 2% of them are conservative. Of course my own social circle isn't indicative of an entire generation either, but I don't know anyone my age who acts like you described. Although, apathy is kind of our superpower, born of necessity, so I can see how that bothers an emotional generation. We've been outnumbered by the Boomers our entire lives, and then by the millennials later, so we've never been able to enact much societal change. It's not that we never cared, it's that our concern was always ineffectual due to being constantly outnumbered, and thus was born our motto, "whatever". We did help build the internet though, as well as the machines that run it.
