Generation Z was witness to “Gamergate”, is aware of MGTOW and “The Red Pill” theory. Watches alternative news and discussion sources like Stephen Crowder and Stefan Molyneaux. They also grew up on the internet and aren’t fooled by Share Blue troll types.
Al Gore is going to rue the day he invented the internet.
There is a Nationalist, Populist, Skeptic, Alt-Right Movements rising in America, not Republican.
Republican versus Democrat.
I don’t care.
The Uniparty of Ryan and McConnell and those who support their leadership replicated at state and local level time and time again.
The pretend to support Trump or openly take potshots at him like Ryan did over Trump’s criticism of the MSNBC hosts last week.
I voted for Trump and I voted for a few candidates with R’s next to their names in recent elections.
Frankly, I wrote in names other than R candidates and in some races didn’t vote at all.
I don’t think those people want to be GOPe’d on by business as usual politicians.......
bkmk
RE: #3
Agreed totally
In my area the “generation after millennials” is primarily Hispanic, with family members engaged in siphoning off the system in various ways. These people will never vote Republican; here in NJ they expect somebody else to pay for everything.
I was thrilled to see these types on the news over the past couple of days being turned away at various state parks; they think we Americans must continue providing all these goodies for them even when Americans barely use them.
Millenials are doomed to become a generation of dysfunctional hippies marooned on a demographic island.
Gamergate is huge. Anyone who does not recognize the term has NO IDEA what a culture war landmark it is for young people. Every one of the factors you mention is valid, but Gamergate is the Scylla and Charybdis of that generation, and its effects are still active. The rash of Sanders inspired Socialist memes aren’t going to change that, kek.
Top Kek back.
Is this like the ‘natural conservatives’ invading from Mexico I was force fed during the Bush years.
LOL. (Doubt most non-millennials and/or Gen Zers know what KEK means.)
I confess I have no idea what Gamergate is.
Please enlighten me.
Wikipedia’s coverage doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface of how big the scandal was. I’m a childless Gen X’er and the ripples of anger even spilled into my world. “Gamergate” was the H Bomb of scandals that nobody that reads mainstream media knows anything about.
It is a long, stupid story. This youtube link does a decent job of going over. The drama between the individuals that sparked it is not important to anyone but them. What makes Gamergate significant is that it eventually turned into the red line beyond which even default lefty young people hit their limit with the SJW commissariat, and told them to bug off.
In the culture war, in that age group, it was a Battle of Midway moment. It may seem trivial to most of us on this website, but it was a serious moment in the culture war for Millenials and Generation Z. It was a cold hard rejection of dictated PC.
Here is the link. Language warning.
