[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a lot of Gen Z males - white, Hispanic, Asian, and increasingly young black men - feel completely alienated by the Democratic Party. But they don't love Trump or the Republican Party. If they voted at all, it was a protest vote. But now that Trump is president, they are as disgusted with him as they are with progressives. The only thing they've ever known is Biden and Trump. Hard to be an inspired 20 year old when all you've experienced is the gerontocracy. [/quote]

This is in line with what my kids are seeing on social media. During the election, they were saying that people would not vote for Harris because of how they thought she would handle the war in Gaza. How they missed the fact that Trump would be 1000 times worse for Gaza is beyond me. But it was their single issue that drove their vote/non-vote. Now they regret it.

They also REALLY hate the two party system and hold out hope that withholding their vote or voting third party will lead to its demise. I think we need to guide them in gradually working toward getting rid of it, starting at the local level. It is simply not going to happen in a presidential election until it works its way up over the course of many years and election cycles. They don’t understand this because we have created a world for them where everything is instantaneous. I doubt we could ever get rid of the two party system, but who knows. They deserve the right to try.

It makes me incredibly sad that anyone under the age of 20 does not know life without Trump’s chaos and hatred. Things were good. You could go several days without thinking or hearing about the president. DC was a beautiful place to visit and didn’t have all the tall fences and barriers to make it look like a war zone. Politicians at least tried to show some semblance of decency and respect toward one another. [/quote]
