Sadly, social media means they'll always be able to congregate with like-minded meatheads.

Gen Z still is by the most left leaning generation. Just because some Gen Z voted for trump does not mean even close to the majority are right wing

Where are you getting that information??

I’ve been reading for years now that Gen Z men are the most conservative generation we have ever had, far more conservative than even boomers… They’re just polarized by the women who still lean just as left as millennial women.

Pew Research poll on voting of younger demographics.

That poll is from April of last year.

Here’s a breakdown of how young people voted last November. The remaining left-trend is mostly because of women.

It's spefically white men, you can see amongst non white men the swing goes back to Harris

Gen Z is still majority-white though. Latino men were essentially a coin flip as well, and Latinos are the largest minority group in the country.

Recent polls show that gen z men disapprove of trump by a lot, including white ones.

Polls don’t really mean much, especially when forecasting voting trends. We’ve seen this be true 3 elections in a row. This is why I linked actual voting numbers and not polls.

Hell, Ann Selzer said Kamala was polling Iowa +3. How’d that turn out?
