It's a myth that young people are inherently more liberal.
Wisconsin 18-24 year olds voted 47-43 for Trump if exit poll is to be believed.
By contrary, whites in TX, GA are getting more democratic.

Young people have tendency to rebel against parents thoughts. Hispanic and black youngsters won't go overwhelmingly Democratic forever. And likewise, older people won't be the most conservative one forever.
It always changes and one part of the reasons is that people always want to hit a reset button after certain ideology is in the throne long enough.
I saw an article that said that kids are rebeling against their parents by being conservative.

we had a Clinton Trump debate in one of my classes and the split was about 22-6 Trump-Hillary. All the Hillary supporters were female. This trend followed almost all other classes that had a debate, with overwhelming Trump support with a small cohort of more liberal woman who support Hillary. Gender gap trend iimcreases significantly.

I already debunked that British study. It had an incredibly low sample size. Also that article is pretty stupid.

I think you might be onto something with the gender gap, though.

Gender is a spectrum. There aren't a specific number of genders.

Nope, I'm not a transphobe parodying a reasonable person.

So I can claim xyz as my gender?

After all, there are no specific number of genders...


I mean, if that's how you feel, sure?

I also find it surprising that Gen Z attends church at a higher rate.

It's really not that surprising. Minorities are usually more religious than whites, and the youngest generation is still more likely to attend church at rates higher than the generation above it because their parents may make them go with them.

I can buy this. Who are the parents of these kids? Gen xers and the oldest millenials? A 22 year old having a kid in 2002?

Some young baby boomers as well. 1963+38=2001.

But yeah, Gen X overall.
