The fact you had to cite examples ranging from 6 months to 3 years prior to the present day reveals the fact that the point of this thread was not to provoke any kind of decent discussion, but to simply fill this subforum with another excuse for low effort posting, circlejerking and nonsensical one-dimensional hot takes.

You really think everyone's opinions change that often? I'm sure if I posted one from a week ago, you'd say "The fact that you had to cite examples ranging from 1 week ago to...."

At any rate, the point of my post was to point out that yes, despite you not seeing it with your own eyes, it does in fact exist.

Now, please, post more about how this board is trash. Don't forget to use the term "circlejerk" again. It's the only way to convey this opinion!

"B-but I still found a poster!!!"
The lengths at which you go to defend this thread is hilariously pathetic. If you wish to delve into the archives of Atlas and find an example from a week ago of a poster heralding Generation Z as the oncoming tide of conservatism for me, then be my guest!
"Conservative"
Gen Z. As I've mentioned in previous threads, the kids have some interesting ideas about what it means to be conservative. They might be religious, but their guiding principle is supposedly rationality. Snooty Aristotelian conservatives, or as Wikipedia calls them, "traditionalist conservatives". Like liberals today, these people get their kicks calling everyone but themselves crazy and acting like they're the voice of reason. They dodge most of the hard questions, much like their beloved philosopher king and Washington outsider nominee, Ben Shapiro. Don't win any electoral votes but siphon young voters from the GOP.

This is a fantasy. Actually, the whole post is a fantasy, but this is especially delirious. All the evidence shows that Gen Z is decidedly NOT conservative. Nobody actually cares about Ben Shapiro offline. Please, for the sake of your own health and sanity, go outside.

He's right, and just because you don't want to believe something doesn't mean it isn't real and happening. Gen Z is a R leaning generation and is definitely more conservative than Millenials.


Yes, that's right. Gen Z is a R leaning generation and they are fed up with the status quo. And there is nothing you can do about it.

Anyone fed up with the status quo is going to be voting Democratic next November, so I hope you're right.

Lol the democrats are the status quo. The democrats are the establishment right now.

If you can't realize or even accept that then you are numb to the head.

Then answer the question. WHY aren't college areas swinging right?

Gen Z starts at 2000. Those people haven't really gotten into college yet anyhow.

The real R swing starts with people born right after 2002, the ones who were just getting into politics when Trump pulled off his right wing revolution and Brexit was happening.

Uh, the status quo is the Republican president, Republican Senate, Republican Supreme Court and the state governments that are disproportionately Republican. All Democrats have is the House and that's just been for a few months.

It's like you're trying to get both the irony mine and bad post thread renamed after you...

Yes, but what party does the mainstream media, the big corporations, and general opinion support? The democrats. Teenagers are rebellious and are more than likely to go against popular opinion and the views of the majority, especially their parents.

I myself am a highschool student. I go to school in a Likely D county that swung strongly democrat in 2016 and 2018 and my district encompasses mostly Lean D precincts that swung strongly to democrats both those years.

This school is overwhelmingly Republican, and that title extends from disgruntled Never-Trumpers to Turning Point America and PragerU addicts to the, uh, you know. Of course there are a lot of democrats but I would say that a plurality if not a majority of my peers are right of center.

The overall mood among students is a disliking of Trump's personality but support of his policies. There is no liberal group here but there is a Young Americans for Freedom group (which I am a part of) which has about 70 members, and most of them are actually female surprisingly. I will say my school is mostly white (about 75%) but it still goes to show that from an insider perspective, the "Gen Z is liberal" meme is bogus and is being pushed on us without a basis.

Your basis is literally "my high school is overwhelmingly republican." That's it.

And other high schools too. Gen Z culture basically revolves around offending people constantly. Being rebellious is cool and it's rebellious to be conservative now.

Ghastly and pathetic if true.

It isn't, and you all should just be smart and put Grassr00ts on ignore already. He's a useless and unconstructive troll.

Aww, you are so freakin nice!

In all seriousness though, I am literally saying what is true.
