GenZ lives through their phones and the messaging they receive through that device has far more impact on them than news, TV debates, message boards, etc. Its why Elon Musk correctly stated he got Trump elected. If you do not realize this, then you, are the dumb***.

Apparently, that makes me a Millennial, but I'm kinda in those limbo years that straddle the end of Gen X and Millennial so I'm a Xennial, I guess? Anyway, I've never, ever voted Democrat at any point in my life since I've been eligible to vote. (The only time I didn't vote Republican for president was in 2016, when I wrote in Evan McMullen, which was a mistake that I have admitted to several times since then due to Trump's performance as POTUS during his first administration.) That might be a byproduct of my Conservative Christian/pro-America upbringing. (Dad was a Navy veteran.)
I think it's great seeing the latest generation moving to the right. It's also great seeing more of my own generation (at least the men) move to the right. They're finally catching up with me. lol
I voted third party in 2016, as well, which I have done most of my life (that or a write-in). That was a mistake, too.
I seriously disliked Trump for his personality. Still do, to some extent, but I overcame it b/c his policies are great for America, and I was impressed with his first term. This time is even better.
One thing that Biden's term did for me. I will never ever vote for another Dem in any position. Ever.
So it will always be a Repub, or back to a 3rd party or write-in.
I still don't like Trump because of his personality, but I'd rather have him than any Democrat.
Most of this personality issue seems to be all an act. Maybe he thinks it makes him look tougher? Idk.
But I have heard from a lot of people that either know him or met him that he's not like that in person. I have not yet met him. And hell if he can win over Bill Maher, then that's a pretty strong case that his real personality is nothing like that of his TV or online presence. Quite a fascinating dichotomy.

I think they panic full time 24/7, regardless. It's their MO, in good times and bad.
When they are in power, they would be really happy if we all died, and when they are not in power, they would be really happy if we all died.

I suppose you reserve the right to “freestyle” and its up to everyone else to determine your target, intent, or if there is either.

This is similar thinking to minorities being too ignorant to get an ID to vote.

No. Its just understanding where the generation gets their news.
They do not watch cable news. They do not read newspapers. They watch tiktok videos, they tweet, and they listen to podcasts; and, in my opinion, they are very susceptible to propaganda simply because of the nature of social media. The sources are sketchy and usually unvetted and the stories are hyped by bots who take that misinformation & amplify it.

Yes, just like the logic around "no ID should be required to vote." It's the same type of logic. Makes no sense to stereotype an entire generation just as it makes no sense to think minorities are too ignorant to get an ID to vote. My two Gen Zs can't stand the Democrats and it has nothing to do with tiktok. It's a thing. Get used to it. Need to face the cold hard truth that the Dems, by focusing on irrelevant issues, totally lost the middle class and it looks like a good portion of Gen Z as well. Time will tell if the tide switches......
