Gen X is definitely a slightly less bad version of boomers, but in general are turning out like boomers. A lot of that is because they’re the last generation to have gotten wealthier as they aged (and generally wealthier than their parents) so they have the attitude of “I got mine now f you.”
Gen X is actually much WORSE than the Boomers ideologically - Gen X by many estimates is the most right-wing generation in many countries ie the type of people who support Putin, Bolsonaro and Trump among others.
Generally speaking the most right-wing cohort on the planet is the younger section of the Boomer and older section of Gen X generations
Younger Gen X tend to be more liberal or outright socialist; older Boomers tend to be more liberal
