“Anyone who was not a liberal at 20 years of age had no heart, while anyone who was still a liberal at 40 had no head.”

these events have prioritized democracy and freedom for the generation.

But how do they define "freedom" and "democracy"?

Democracy: When the progressive candidate is installed in office. If Trump or Orban win a majority of the votes, that's a threat to democracy. If a color revolution prevents them from assuming office, that's a win for democracy.

Freedom: Engaging in whatever drugs use and sex acts you desire, while being shielded from contrary opinions.

“more Gen Zers turn 18 and become eligible to vote”

Whites under 18 are already a minority in this country.

I know where we are headed and it looks like post-Rhodesia Zimbabwe 1980.

They have felt the effects of climate change?

What in the #### have they felt from “climate change”??

I told one FReeper I have cut down on the use of ####s.

Articles on FR always bring them back.

But it’s important to know what the enemy is thinking.

Even if they are sickening, repulsive, deluded, dangerous, narcissistic ####s.

Gen Z has felt the effects of climate change, COVID-19, several wars abroad, including in Ukraine and Israel, as well as Donald Trump’s tumultuous presidency and the rolling back of reproductive rights.

When I read this I just think of World War Z, and these people are the zombies.

But in reality they're just typical kids: They think they know everything, but they really know nothing. They think they have a voice, but they are really just somebody else's sock puppets.

And it's not really their fault. They've been indoctrinated since they were babies to believe these things, and only those children with conservative parents able and willing to change their education, know the difference.

When it comes to politics, Gen Zers are an activist generation of spoiled brainwashed idiots who only know how to destroy things and shout you down and they still live in mommy and daddys house.

“… felt the effects of climate change…”
There are NO effects of climate change. This tells me right there that the article is FOS. They’ve been bombarded with relentless lies about climate change, and they’ve been indoctrinated to believe government propaganda unquestioningly while ignoring the total lack of evidence of climate change, but they haven’t felt any effects of it because there are none.

The Democrats spend a ton of money buying a bunch of “Gen Z” social media influencers. You going to see a lot of astroturf social media bots pretending to be “enthusiastic” for Biden. It is not real, just another form of campaigning.

This narrative runs directly contrary to the polling data. Trump is either even or has a 1% lead among the under 30s. Yes, that’s right. The Democrats do not lead with group they have traditionally won by 30 or 40 points. In fact, they’re terribly worried about it.

So obviously they are NOT “concerned” with (insert leftist talking point here). They’re far more concerned with the crappy economy. Also, they overwhelmingly support Trump’s foreign policy under which we stayed out of constant foreign wars.

But the GOOD NEWS is:

These Gen-Z-ers are going to have to work their asses off to support all these illegal immigrants, their children and their grandchildren.

Just watch FOX for a few minutes to see them streaming across the southern border.

They like no jobs and high prices as long as you can virtue grandstand on their phones.

“Since they’ve come to understand the world, Gen Z has felt the effects of climate change, COVID-19, several wars abroad, including in Ukraine and Israel, as well as Donald Trump’s tumultuous presidency and the rolling back of reproductive rights.“

Which is to say they have been thoroughly brainwashed and fear-mongered by a well-orchestrated series of scams - Climate Change, WMDs, Covid ScamDemic, Russia Hoax, BLM Systemic Racism, Counterfeit “Mailed-in’ Ballots, Jan 6 Gaslighting, A Woman’s Right to Kill her Baby, Woke Gender Bending, Open Borders Catch and Release.

Their entire life they have been told nothing but lies. The question is, how convincing has the Left been? Because to this 71 year old, these lies are not convincing at all - in fact, I would go as far as to say the Left are piss-poor liars.

Can generation Z all be that gullible? I would think a fair percentage of them would be fully aware they are being lied to - and perhaps insulted by it. Maybe there will be a mutiny.

One can hope, right?

Interesting that two threads below this one, it is reported that a bunch of high school kids walked out of Loudon Co. schools because of their crazy tranny bathroom policy.

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 20 year old man is not a liberal he has no heart.

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.

“...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 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.
