Also an elder millineal and 2000 is the first thing that comes to mind. Still remember the guy looking at the ballot with the big eye. Starting to firmly believe we need to divide the millennial generation further by BFBW (Before the Fall of the Berlin Wall) and after.

born a year after the wall fell & I’m also in the “thinks of the 2000 election” cohort, but I was also a weirdly political little kid. I asked my mom every morning if we had a president yet until the case was settled lol
