This, in what world is Gen Z conservative?

The boomer vote was actually nearly 50-50 in 2024. Gen X is our last hope to trend more conservative, they voted Trump by double digits.

It’s actually pretty crazy to see the boomer vote that split, because on Long Island, the white boomer vote is heavy Italian American and other White Catholic, and while there’s no specific polling on this demographic on Long Island, just by anecdote they seem to be at southern baptist levels of Trump support around here, only they don’t hold their nose due to his personality and vote for him anyway, they actually love his personality too. So it’s definitely a bit of a bubble when it comes to the perception of boomers around here

gen z men are trending far right. it's the women that is jamming them up/skewing numbers. the genders have never been so divided. women have gone far left, men far right. it's created this very fucked up dynamic that is perpetually snowballing

Gen Z men voted 49-48 for Trump. A 1 percent plurality, by far the least conservative leaning of all male age groups.

Its a whole generation that gave their brains to the CIA and trying to show them that, even with proven facts and connections, causes a short circuit. Sad really, its like having an Amish kid hang out with a party friend group for the weekend. Totally lost.

BUt their homes are worth 1m, so how could anything they think or do be wrong?

53% voted trump, only 35% of gen z women voted trump. keep in mind a lot of the gen z vote isn't white, so obviously theyre going to vote democrat. i guess im more talking about gen z white men, bc theyre the ones getting replaced and used as a doormat.. cheers

Black Men (18–29): ~70%–75% supported Harris.Latino Men (18–29): ~47% supported Harris.White Men (18–29): ~35% supported Harris.

plus there's the rest of the world, that is drastically shifting far right. look at the UK, or germany, their far right parties are taking off.

The boomer vote didn’t get Trump elected, the boomer vote wasn’t the reason Kamala lost. 605k deportations from this administration and amnesty offered, are you tired of winning yet? The young vote is why Trump is in office, the boomer polls on cnn are why we are in yet another war in the Middle East for Israel.

Boomers didn't invent the FIRE movement or Instagram.

If Millennials or Gen Z were in charge they would be doing the EXACT same thing.

Boomer selfishness is a symptom of societal decay, not the cause.

I say this as a younger millennial.
On spread. You beat me to it (no homo).

Just lol at anyone who thinks one of the younger generations would have been better than boomers, given the same conditions.

Exactly, woman are single issue voters. It doesn't matter what generation they vote primarily on abortion/reproductive rights.

50/50 must be all voters 65+?

Trump won 56-43 with whites 65+

So much truth^^^

I cant tell you how many older guys I talk to who vote straight (R) their whole lives and these are very successful intelligent men who are clueless on Israel/immigration, etc

If its not in the Wall Street journal or on Fox, it never happened.

You dont know what youre talking about, but thats Ok, RIKTERS feels like teaching today.

Ps....Are you a boomer??

Fact: Twice as many people 65+ voted compared to the 29 and under voters. Kamala won under 29 voters, 54-43, if those 2 groups turnouts were reversed, She wins. Thats not my opinion. Thats math.

Fact: The only age group Trump won(this includes all voters not just white, etc was 50+)

Regarding white voters, Trump tied the under 30 white vote to Kamala. Trump lost the under 30 black vote 83-15 LOL

Can you show me the amnesty bill Trump signed into law?? Thanks.

Yeah it was all voters 65+

I'd still expect the white boomers to be Trumps strongest vote if I didn't check first, but white gen-x'ers actually were. And white millennials were only 2 points under white boomers.

keep in mind 71% of boomers are white. only 49% of gen z is white(and we know they use the term "white" loosely, ahem george zimmerman), the young men whites are moving far right, but it is being counter weighted with demographic changes, POC 80% of the time will vote democrat bc that is who will bring more of their people in and give them more benefits

Actually it would be much much worse once the Boomers lose control.

During decades of Boomer rule, the thought of going to prison for wrong think or disagreeing with your 12 year old son being chemically castrated couldn't even be conceived.

The day Gen Z, etc has Boomer power, youre going to prison for wrong think/misgendering and 1000 other things.

The speed of the shift has been insane, too. It's honestly mind blowing.

For example when I was in high school from 2002-2006 the prospect of gays marrying was unthinkable and bizarre to most people around me. And I live in suburban NY, not rural Texas. Fast forward to 2016 and the president was now sending out directives to public schools that they must allow troon men to use the girls bathroom. And half of the country applauds it.
