Generally speaking…
Some comments:
“This is true for a lot of boomers but not all of us. I haven’t watched MSM in over 20 years, am a 3× Trump voter and support the deportation of all illegal immigrants as well as all the other great things the Administration is doing”
“We were taught journalists & MSM are unbiased. Journalists were supposed to deliver just the facts of all sides of a story/issue, not opinions. Sadly boomers don’t realize TRUE journalists are very rare & do not work for MSM outlets because MSM controls the messaging.”
“Not this Boomer! I am an old army brat and spent more time exploring the world than in front of a TV. I would also rather read than watch a lot of TV. I research things and make up my own mind. Plus, Rush Limbaugh helped me see the propaganda for myself.”
It is strange, all the boomers I know love Trump except 1
They must have been paid something.
I absolutely ditto your 3 comments–and I thank God for Rush…I miss him everyday…I think he would be ecstatic about what’s happening!!
Born in late August 1954, I consider myself this fairly new term:
Overview
Why are all the other generations 15 years, but the Baby …
The generation born between 1954 and 1964 is most commonly called Generation Jones. Coined by cultural commentator Jonathan Pontell, this cohort is considered a “cusp generation” that bridges the gap between the Baby Boomers and Generation X.
Distinct from Baby Boomers: While sometimes considered the younger part of the Baby Boomer generation, Generation Jones is often seen as having a unique identity, combining traits from both Baby Boomers and Generation X.
Name origin: The name “Generation Jones” was chosen to reflect this group’s often overlooked status, similar to how a common last name like Jones can refer to an individual within a large group.
Characteristics: This group is often characterized by its adaptability, as they combine the idealism of the Boomers with the pragmatism of Gen X due to the economic and social changes they experienced.
Interesting. First I’ve heard of that.
Being a Boomer myself, I learned many years ago not to trust the media! Their delivery of certain stories in the news did not seem truthful. My BS meter would be going off, and this was before the internet. The wool was being pulled over our eyes for decades! The media has been biased for as long as I can remember, but our biggest mistake was ignoring it and trusting the Politicians to do what was right for “We the People”! Thank God for the great Awakening! I have been trying to enlighten the younger generations for the last 25 yrs. Most did not listen! As far as those from my generation it was 50/50. Some have it and some don’t!
I hadn’t heard the term but it makes sense to me. I am in the position of trying to take care of my parents and teach them the truth about current events. They are pretty savvy but sometimes it’s like they cannot fathom that their government would actually mean them harm. As an example it took me awhile to get them to believe in chem trails and even then they did not want to believe the program had nefarious purpose. Maybe because they endured the Depression fallout, WW2, Korea and Vietnam. WW2 significantly impacted my family. 2 brothers committed suicide during a time when the ‘wake’ was held in the family front room. Can you imagine being a young person and enduring that? Talk about PTSD. They needed something to hold on to. My kiddos, on the other hand, have families and are dealing with this crazy economy, the bad GMO’d food, Big Pharma fallout, the government school (as my father in law used to call it) and more. They are truly in the most intense area/time of the battle. They are the most impacted. So we are taking care of our elders and helping our children. I believe ours is the first generation who have had to assist both while coming to the realization that most of what we knew and were taught as kids was a big fat lie. Lots of soul searching and time with God.
