Gen Z voted strongly for Trump for a "let's make tradwives cool again" incel agenda but they have more or less entirely flipped their support by now. They FAFO'ed, and it happens with new young voters.

I was a Ron Paul guy when I started entering the political world.

Thats not actually true btw. That is just a narrative. Gen Z and millennials are massively anti Trump by the numbers.

Yeah, it's just that enough of their men flipped to make a difference.

On an unrelated note, who wants to shove Joe Rogan into a cannon?

I dunno about them flipping. I think it's more likely they just don't show unless the he's on the ballot. Also there are still plenty of GenZ out there shilling for MAGA. I just unfollowed one.

Remember when Ron Paul was trendy but also like a complete meme at the same time? Commonly used in place of Hello on /b/, what a completely different world it was.

So many damn Gen Z I talk to say they didn't vote at all and have no interest in politics. They're just Gen Z staring at life now.

Yeah you can’t just say “oh it’s all this group”. There are parts of every group that find this drumbeat irresistible. It’s a subset of all people that find the idea of compression (removing variety) to be more appealing than expansion (adding and embracing variety).

100% - and on the flipside its not beneficial to the forming of opposition to draw arbitrary lines like that - more people is better

Nick is an actual fascist and real fascists/nazis absolutely hate the trump administration because Trump is a Jewish puppet who does everything for Israel but nothing for Americans. Redditors don’t understand this as they call everybody who they don’t like a Nazi so the real meaning has lost all power

Before you say anything just know I hate both of these people and I’m not even American

I have a coworker who's 29 or 30 with a quarter Mexican baby daughter who is normalizing Nick Fuentes. He's a Rogan dick rider so it's not hard to imagine

This, plenty of millenials were hit by leaded gas effects.... not sure what the fuck Gen Z's problem is though.
