Generation conflict - first time in history

[timelets]

By looking at population pyramids (1992, 2000, 2008, 2016, we can see that the current polarization reflects a unique generational conflict that spills over into politics. The new generation has a set of values that is significantly different from that of aging Baby Boomers. Such generational conflict is not new, though. What is new then? Never before we had so many people over 55 who had an equal voice in general elections.
