Wrong. No previous generations have held onto power as long. We had the first Boomer President in 1993, now here we are thirty years later with the first Silent Generation President.

Leadership of the Missionary Generation (born 1860-82) did extend into the 1930s and '40s, but they, you know, enacted the New Deal, created Social Security, and led the global war against fascism.

Boomers often talk about the sacrifices of their parents' generation. No one has ever said that the Boomers ever sacrificed anything.

This is a very US-centric take that falls apart the moment you look at the rest of the world.

Agreed, e.g. Britain has already had four Gen X PMs.

And which country faired better in the ensuing years?
