Four-times-indicted former president Donald Trump has been successfully selling white Christian nostalgia, racism and xenophobia to his base. However, the Public Religion Research Institute’s massive poll of 6,616 participants suggests that what works with his base might pose an insurmountable problem with Gen Z teens and Gen Z adults (who are younger than 25).
Demographically, this cohort of voters bears little resemblance to Trump’s older, whiter, more religious followers. “In addition to being the most racially and ethnically diverse generation in our nation’s history, Gen Z adults also identify as LGBTQ at much higher rates than older Americans,” the PRRI poll found. “Like millennials, Gen Zers are also less likely than older generations to affiliate with an established religion.”
Those characteristics suggest Gen Z will favor a progressive message that incorporates diversity and opposes government imposition of religious views. Indeed, “Gen Z adults (21%) are less likely than all generational groups except millennials (21%) to identify as Republican.” Though 36 percent of Gen Z adults identify as Democrats, their teenage counterparts are more likely to be independents (51 percent) than older generations.
what a crock of shit, who gives a toss about where the vote’s going when both parties are the same thing, owned by the same people, and votes aren’t even counted lol

you follow your party-owners like a good slave who knows not to rebel against invented law, who is blinded to the glory of natural law, and people like you are the reason such conditions are brought upon the world :)
Oh moron. “Natural law” is what we choose to follow. I will have more, and smarter, children than your coal-eating boiled oat flesh can create.
Your last grasp at relevance is by proclaiming thought as absurd, yet you use the very tools we all built and agreed upon to visit absurdity upon us, your fellow caretakers.
You will be forgotten, and echoes of your damaged code depriving your one or two generations of progeny of happiness for as you watch.
natural law is not chosen, it pre-exists everything, and considering you seem to lack any inheritable intellect, i can tell that my kids will probably be the ones having to put up with the half-brained offspring of your kind, regardless, i have nothing to fear against people who cant even understand basic logic, you could be outwitted by a bent sickle
Hahaha, who reasoned through the physics and utility behind and beyond the sickle? My kids, myself, maybe your kids, but certainly not you.
We builders and engineers will set the world right, as we always have in spite of drooling destructors like you. Notice your love of potential pain and misery, merely discussing and quietly grinning about it. You are the devil.
my ancestors, armed with knowledge of the natural world, created the truest religion, practically all relevant inventions between 600BC and 0AD, and have survived for over 3000 years due to their understanding of natural law, yours are american :)
600 years? That’s so long to make such basic tooling. As expected, you’ve always advertised your weakness as your biggest strengths. Nothing changes, but the years.
When you try to take control again, as incessant low-quality creatures do, we will again excise you.
we invented military technology, societal developments, all of which echo in the world today :)
Careful. You might cut yourself on all the edge you’re lording.
cry harder, i do oblige you to try out the whole logical processing thing for once, though :)
Lol ok, little guy…
Misinformation. Both parties are not the same and votes ARE counted. A Clinton/Biden Supreme court would NEVER have elimimated Roe.
you’re incorrect and you fall rather easily into the trap of genuinely believing that democracy exists, especially in america, one of the nations with the longest list of known (and unknown) human rights violations in history
Oh, I’m not arguing that at all. I’m saying that when it comes to many issues, both sides are NOT the same.
Democrats aren’t trying to take away health care rights. Republicans are.
Republicans aren’t trying to take away gun rights, Democrats are.
Are both sides servicing corporate masters? Sure they are, but that doesn’t make them the same corporate masters.
This is best explained, honest to god, by an Eddie Murphy movie of all things:
