So the jury is out on the Zers and even the millennials, AFAIAC.
Among the Zers, I believe their leaders will be either homeschooled or privately educated in conservative schools.
I think of Charlie Kirk and all the young people he is engaging with his organization.
The people, including the young, are catching on FAST to the burgeoning national debt and what it implies for their future quality of life.
If a 30 year old man is not a conservative he has no brain"
I don't think it's age as much as having children that makes people more conservative. And in America, we've got all of the childless 30-40 year old white people who are still libtards.
It doesn't bode well.
Furthermore, Gen-Z discovered in 2022 that voting was easy and they liked doing it. This caught the pollsters off guard who didn't see them coming out to vote the impending red wave down to a red trickle.
Gen-Z has bought into every platform of the left, from climate change to abortion, to gun control, to limits of free speech. They're going to vote the rest of us right back into the dark ages.
That quote has always disturbed me. Why would being a liberal at 20 be any more commendable than at, say, 60? It wouldn’t.
Liberals/leftists are among the most heartless because they refuse to see the deleterious effects of their ideology on real people.
“...looking for candidates whose positions clearly are in line with their values of inclusion and tolerance...”
Because of course, homosexual empowerment is the overriding concern of everyone. Sodomy is more important than say, the US economy. /spit
“They have to demand their seat at the table, because they bring a fresh perspective and new ideas to existing and continuing issues that the older generation seems incapable or unwilling to address.”
Little snot nosed, arrogant jerks are going to show all of us older folks “how things are done” b/c we are “incapable or unwilling” to address how they want things.
How long have they been paying taxes, had to compete for jobs , been in the workforce, how many have lived on their own, paid rent or a mortgage, put food on the table for a family - and struggled to survive?
Things may not turn out how Gen Z hopes they will - these grandiose ideas backfire when met with reality. The world they will inherit, change and re-create is the one they’ll have to live in, it won’t be what the envisioned - and good luck with that.
The price of housing is insane anywhere in California.
I live in an old development thrown up quickly after the end of WW II - across the street, the development goes back to the 20s (sidewalks are stamped 1923).
The vast majority need tons of work - new electrical, plumbing and sewer pipes, flooring, dry wall, HVAC, etc.
You won’t find a home here under $1.5 million - and that doesn’t include the cost of mass renovations, most likely in the $200,000+ range. One home two doors down from me (a wreck inside according to my neighbors who went to the open house) listed for $1.3 million two weeks ago, sold in one day for $1.4 million - it is already being partially torn down.
It’s like this all over.
My son and his friends who make six figure incomes in the IT industry cannot afford to live here.
The same article was written in 1968, when leftists assured everyone that the boomer “hippies” would take over the world.
Blah, blah, blah.
By 1984, the majority of the boomer “hippies” voted for Ronald Reagan.
