    Culture wars that are especially distracting and polarizing are:

    • Boomer vs Millennial - there are good and bad people in every generation. The ultra wealthy assholes suck in each.
    • City vs Rural
    • Religious vs Non-religious (including in this are the LGBTQ+ communities, planned parenthood, feminism, etc.)
    • Racism disguised as immigration issues.

      Yeah the generation war idea needs to die when you have Genx, millennials and genz billionaires all attending the commemoration party of the boomer who won the presidency. And the house itself stretches across all generations of assholes. You got leavitt, Johnson, Vance, Elon, Donald doing gross things daily. Every generation is represented here being capable and willing to be full on assholes.

      GenX: “We voted for the same assholes as the Boomers. Forgotten generation ftw”

      j/k

      but seriously, GenX really is forgotten in the culture wars too
