Picking just this one, the most Reaganite cohorts are all classic Gen-X. His libertrarian pitch fits their libertarian sensibilities like a glove. Are there Boomers iin that same group? Sure, but certainly not nearly as many.
But, as in the case of the Lost, the younger half of Gen-X - I personally set their birth-year parameters at 1969-1980 - are the "Bolshevik" or "classic" Xers, with the 1958-1968 cohorts being the "Menshevik" Xers (remember that Doug Coupland dedicated Generation X: Tales For An Accelerated Culture to "the generation born in the late 1950s and 1960s" - it says so, inside the front cover).
