The worst part is that the silent generation is accurately being represented in 2025.
Millennials will likely be overrepresented at some point in the future as well.
Once senators get in they seem to stay more often than not and building up the network one needs to get in also needs time and resources. Doubt this has ever been much different.
Oldest millennials are 45 now. This is when people start to get into these positions. Will probably be quite different in 5 years already.
You'll still be governed by corrupt assholes, but yeah, millennial corrupt assholes will have better representation.
I want my corrupt government asshole to be at least CLOSE to my age.
representation vs. net wealth would be intersting, too.
I would love a deep dive into the causes here.
as a pure gut reaction, I'd say no term limits is a big one
gen x ; the overlooked perfect generation as usual
it's a good thing too since they're the most pro-trump generation as well.
not boomers?
Boomers aren't far behind
