I have a child and own a home, and am a member of the lost generation. Fuck the Republican Party and any conservative who believes their selfish bullshit should outweigh the greater good of others.
I agree about Republicans. I don’t agree about Democrats. Some, of course, are conservative, as they historically always have been. But a good portion are quite liberal.
As a whole, the Dems are pretty center of the aisle, because America as a whole is fairly conservative compared to Europe (despite 60% of the population being more liberal than the government at most times). Europeans generally consider the Dems in the US a conservative party, and corporate Dems are definitely closer to the right than to the left. The other issue besides the general conservative leaning in the country though is that there’s about 50 other groups of various left leaning shades that would be their own separate parties in Europe but are bunched in with the corporate Dems and therefore have little say in the party platform.
I had an feeling you actually meant GenX but I just wanted to make sure. I know that GenX is often thought of as the latchkey generation. I’m on the edge of GenX/millennial.
I just see myself as apart of the “ boomerang “ generation where I’ll be worse off than my parents. Fun times.

Republicans are fascists, not conservatives.
Democrats are the conservative party.

There are two kinds of Democrats: conservatives and hostages
Seems people feel the need to try to educate me, not really sure why. But whatever :)
I agree with everything you said except, im confused about the use of the term lost generation. That’s a generation born in the 1880-1900s.
My mistake if so. I was under the impression that term was used for those of us born between 1978 or so thru 1983.
In any case, I don’t see myself in the same vein as GenX nor Millennial, at least stereotypically.
