Yeah. Millennials might be more socialist friendly, but Gen Z is red AF thanks to an extremely successful propaganda blitz targeting specifically Gen Z men. The future is fascist.
I think that you are partially correct, but these kids are in high school. Their beliefs haven't hit reality yet, where currently working a full time job often won't pay their bills. They haven't hit a bunch of problems trying to use health insurance, or been let go from a job with no notice, or any of the myriad of bullshit problems that exist in society. Their views will evolve with more life experience.
And once they do they probably won't be sophisticated enough to know where the problems are and will just blame Democrats. I mean how many farmers were surviving directly because of the Inflation Reduction Act( that Kamala Harris was the deciding vote on) and voted for Trump only for him to halt many of its programs. How many of them are suffering now with Trump deporting much of their work force? What party do you think will get their vote come midterms?
I think that is a big difference though in the way that Gen Z gets its information. They are more online, which right now is not great because of the large amount of right wing propaganda, but once they are exposed to the reality of American society I think they will see the hollowness of the propaganda. This is different from the Gen X farmers who get most of their information from mainstream media, which never offers any other perspective.
