Okay that’s crazy. I forget how ancient these dudes are.You might want to recheck the number there. Even today the Senate is 60% Boomers. The House is 30% Boomers and 42% GenX, but that’s today. If you roll back to the 90’s the older GenX are in their mid-20’s maybe 30. If I had to pick a generation that had control for the longest time it would be the Silent Generation. If you removed the arbitrary lines imposed on the generations you might fine Bill, George, Donald and maybe Joe could fall into either Silent or Boomers. Only Barack is a clear Boomer. There have been zero GenX presidents.
Trump is 1946 so the very first year of baby boomers. That blows my mind to put it in perspective. I guess you’re right, back then it would have been a lot of the silent generation still in power too.
