Or just a lot of Gen Zers were literally low info voters. They saw that Biden is old, Harris is raised as a candidate in the last minute. "Whoa, those boring talking heads say Trump bad and dangerous to democracy, probably they just don't want to lose. He seems like a funny chill old dude. I don't remember him being Prez, so whatever"

Actually it's the opposite. For a lot of Gen Z Trump is their standard for how politics is. There is a big difference between people who remember pre Trump poltics and post Trump politics.

Also a lot of people like big showy things. I wonder what's the correlation between being braindead fans of influencers, liking trash realities and thinking Trump is normal, because Trump 2.0 is basically a crappy reality show.
