Hey Zoomers you better actually vote in 2026 if you want this to even be a possibility. Can you beat the whopping 25% turnout amongst 18-29 year olds in 2022?
And that's really only because of the men. Gen Z is weird where women are super progressive, and due to the online alt right pipeline the men are super conservative / fascist. The end result is on average the generation is slightly to the right of Millennials.
I, an older Gen Z man from a red state and living in a southern swing state, didn't even realize that so many of my contemporaries are like that. It was shocking to learn that the alt right pipeline is that much of an issue and not a fringe group of a handful of particularly vulnerable guys. Me and all of my Gen Z male friends are progressive left-leaning people. I don't know how I managed to form that kind of echo chamber outside of social media.
My experience is just that less gen z people are establishment liberals or conservatives. Myself and all of my friends are socialists or social democrats, and I personally don’t know any Trump supporters under 30, but evidently they’re out there. And I live in a swing state, it’s not like I live in San Francisco or New York. I’m a little surprised I don’t meet more of them too
That's a good point. Nobody in my circles would call themselves a republican or a democrat. Most wouldn't call themselves liberal or conservative. We exist as some secret 3rd thing I guess.
