It’s crazy to me that Trump is pretty much silent generation and his son is younger than me(by a couple weeks, but still younger), and this is something that just gets glossed over.
I understand the reasoning behind the name the silent generation but I still cannot wrap my head around them being the silent generation because there is absolutely nothing silent about them.
Yeah, I was about to say that. Then, I thought about my rural family dynamics. My silent generation grandparents couldn't hold a candle to my loud, talkative, judgemental boomer parents. At least when they judged, they were "silent" about it. Our parents were like "nah, we'll judge them to their faces" haha. (I kid, but both of my parents have changed drastically the past two decades and are more empathic and kind overall. Everything is changing, and my theory is the boomers that resist that or "can't keep up" are the ones we eventually see videos of going off the rails).
