There is some buzz about Gen Z being the most conservative younger generation to date though. https://www.forbes.com/sites/ashleystahl/2017/08/11/why-democrats-should-be-losing-sleep-over-generation-z/#25dc061c7878 Quote While Millennials still remember cassette players and dial-up Internet, Generation Z grew up hounded by perpetual terrorist threats and school shootings reflecting on them from their Macbook and iPad screens. They grew up watching Millennials entering the work force with thousands of dollars in school debt, and it seems that they are intent on not making the same mistakes as us. According to research, Gen Z is more individualistic, more conservative both socially and fiscally, and they’re already making waves of impact on our political system. Gen Z, those born in 1995 or later, is possibly the most conservative generation since World War II, and it is worrying that their impact has been completely overlooked during this election. While our fears might be preemptive, we should not make the mistake of disregarding the intriguing yet also possibly worrying world views of Generation Z. Oftentimes Millennials have been criticized for being notoriously liberal, but it looks like the generation right behind us has completely rebelled. A U.K. Study at The Gild did a survey of almost 2,000 adults and found that on issues like gay marriage, marijuana legalization, transgender rights, and even tattoos, 59% of Gen Z respondents described their views as ‘conservative’ and ‘moderate’.

Thing is, don't think even with the conservative view, socialism is going to be a taboo word for generations that didn't experience the cold war.

I think this is one of the things that makes widespread voter fraud extremely far fetched.... In a country of 330 million, how many people would risk a lengthy jail sentence, just to cast an extra vote or two? It makes zero sense..... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First off, the polling was from the UK, and conducted by The Gild (a strategic brand consultancy). I’m not sure how applicable the data would be. Just because 59% of Zoomers in the UK call themselves “conservative” or “moderate,” when it comes to issues like “gay marriage, marijuana legalization, transgender rights, and tattoos,” doesn’t really mean that Gen Z in the USA is going to vote Republican. It’s also a shame that the original polling is behind a paywall, because I’d really like to see how many of those UK Zoomers actually answered “moderate.” Let’s say, of the 59%, half answered “conservative” and half answered “moderate.” That would mean that around 70% of those polled would have also answered either “moderate” or “liberal.” When it comes to Gen Z polling in the USA, most of what I’ve seen tells a very different story than this Forbes article. Here’s Pew Research: https://www.pewsocialtrends.org/2019/01/17/generation-z-looks-a-lot-like-millennials-on-key-social-and-political-issues/ https://www.pewsocialtrends.org/essay/on-the-cusp-of-adulthood-and-facing-an-uncertain-future-what-we-know-about-gen-z-so-far/ From the above data, we see pretty wide support among Gen Z for an activist government and things like gay marriage, transgender rights, etc. They are certainly the most progressive voting age group in the USA, when it comes to these issues. Google “Gen Z politics” and you’ll come across a bunch of articles and polling/studies saying the same thing. Generation Z is the most progressive age group in the USA. One article even suggested that AOC’s political positions represent the median attitudes of Zoomers, meaning for Gen Z, AOC is basically a centrist (let that sink in). Also, when you search “Gen Z politics,” every article that mentions Zoomers as “centrist” or “right leaning” is quoting the data from that one UK poll. All the other polling data and articles I’ve seen seem to suggest the exact opposite, especially when it comes to Zoomers in the USA. https://www.niskanencenter.org/the-gops-gen-z-problem-and-path-forward/ https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.voanews.com/student-union/gen-z-politically-leaning-left%3famp https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.teenvogue.com/story/how-will-gen-z-vote/amp https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/04/08/gen-z-was-fed-up-with-status-quo-coronavirus-could-reinforce-their-liberal-politics/%3foutputType=amp https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.brookings.edu/blog/the-avenue/2020/01/28/the-2020s-can-end-americas-generational-divide-in-politics/amp/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
