I use myself as an example - I considered myself "pro-life" in my late teens and early 20s. Then I grew up.


Based on my kids (GenZ 1.0 and 2.0) and their friends - I have a very different experience. Younger people are wiser, more empathetic and more giving than my friends and I were in their age. My home has been a place my kids and their friends hung out and I overheard them talking about issues, stupid things they have done, politics, studies, girls/boys, the world. I can bet my lives savings that all of them voted for Biden (2020) and Kamala (2024). None of them liked Biden or Kamala as a perfect POTUS candidate - but they knew what was riding on the elections and voted for the less perfect candidates.

You really don’t. You see what they want you to see. The parties, the drunken sex, speeding in a car full of kids, they’re doing things you wouldn’t approve of. The easiest deception is saying they voted for Kamala.


DP - but my Gen Z DD who graduated HS post-Covid was not like this at all. Maybe because she was a serious, year-round athlete and student, she never went to HS parties, drank, smoke or did drugs and didn’t hang around people who did. She has always been very vocal about what she likes and wants. She’s still in college and still doesn’t do these things. She 100% voted for Kamala as did her friends, both female and male, who act and talk just like her. She did more research on candidates in local elections than I did!


Most helicopter parents feel the way you do. Kids haven’t really changed over the years. Get your head out of the sand.

Here is the thing, their numbers are so small they are almost irrelevant. NINTY MILLION eligible voters didn’t participate in the last election.

Stop wasting time trying to figure out why crazy people vote for maga, it’s a small return (in terms of votes) on time and investment. Figure out why so many people didn’t vote at all.

Parental rebellion is as old as time. The kids of the biggest Trump haters tend to love him, while the kids of Trumpers tend to be agnostic types who just want everyone to get along. The hard left is as uncool as DARE in the 90s...it's the side of old people and teachers.
I live in one of the bluest areas in the country and while all the protests have been scheduled for Saturdays, they are 90% women over 50 (and 10% their weak looking husbands). The local Indivisble leader lives a few houses down and she's an older, fat lady with pink hair. Not attractive to the youth no matter how loudly she yells.

Do you know how many kids are popping gummies in high school?

Years from now your grown children will tell you about the crazy things they did in high school. Remember all these replies here.

Kamelas meme game was Genx and made fun of by genz

This makes a lot of sense because being young is about questioning the dominant culture, questioning your parents (who tend to look at Trump in the same way 50s parents looked at Elvis's dance moves), and reacting in a way to correct for society's past mistakes. Whether the left is right or wrong, they are incredibly consistent and ubiquitous in their messaging, so it was predictable that the youth would turn MAGA.

The cool kids. 🙄🙄🙄

My son went to DCPS and he literally did not read a book from K-8 that wasn't focused on the bad white man. Every choice on every summer reading list, etc.

The natural result is to rebel against this.

Such incredible and utter BS. When you say things like “literally” all his books he read were about bad, white men then I know you are lying!

Gen Z *males* are pro Trump. Not the women.

If this is the case then it is your failure as a parent to help him learn and grow from exposure to REALITY. To help him decide what kind of person he can be and how the sins of others are not his fault, but his choices about his own behavior going forward are. On you, idiot. Thanks for raising another ignorant self-centered white boy that thinks the world owes him something. Blah blah blah. Cry me a river.

My DD graduated during covid. 2020 that missed graduation and had an on line freshman year. Now they see their classmates get fired from fed jobs for no reason. Same for kids that are doing Americorps. Did not consider voting for Trump and are definitely not a supporter now.

Where was the polling done? What the gender and race of the kids they asked?
The pictures seems to be 100% white unlike the DMV.

DP. "If an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, that is a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do. ... So whenever you find yourself getting angry about a difference of opinion, be on your guard; you will probably find, on examination, that your belief is going beyond what the evidence warrants." - Bertrand Russell
