    Weren’t the statistics from the last election a big deal because Gen Z actually didn’t align with Millennials?

    I’m pretty sure I saw people getting mad at the number of young voters who opted to vote for Trump

    Could be wrong though

      No, they’re just less left leaning than Millennials were at that age. 66% of Millennials voted for Obama, whereas only 54% of Gen Z voted for Harris.

        You didn’t need to be “left leaning” to vote for Harris. Just, you know, not insane.

        Is it that they’re less left leaning? Cause when you put the names of the candidates there (Obama vs Harris), it just sounds like a weaker candidate that didn’t move their base as much.

        With Gen Z there’s also a huge gender disparity, the boys are NOT okay, they’re the Hitler Youth.

        That said, Gen X voted for Trump in greater numbers than the Boomers.

        Gen X aren’t spectators. They’re fucking MAGA, and they were also the ones writing the shitty generation war articles.

          Gen X is the generation that got just enough from their boomer and silent Gen parents that they don’t really care to change anything and keep up the system but pretend they hate it.

          They act like they are separated and completely uninvolved but they are the last generation to have a semblance of a nice thing and they won’t rock the boat. Especially now that they are getting more of the positions their parents held.

          They may pretend they aren’t here, but they are, and pretending they stuck to themselves and they don’t do anything that impacts others is just wishful thinking on their part.
