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......

Do you have kids within this age group?

No, but please answer his question.

Mensa, you really need to change your user name. You are an embarrassment to yourself.

It's obviously too difficult for him. Mensa, indeed.

My guess is he simply didn't read my initial post too carefully. Which, in of itself is no big deal, but it does point back to what I've mentioned previously in that he simply posts a lot of things without apparently reading what he's posted, simply copies and pastes. It is what it is, nothing more than mild entertainment on a hot day.

Well, of course. IMO, that's why they buy a lot of Dem positions. They don't pay attention to details.

The first part of your post is correct. I glanced over your initial post and did not read its entirety. I post from a phone and the small text/partial reading screen can, at times, be an issue. That being said, I seldom copy and paste anything; and when I do, I link the source.

Tiktok is the #1 source of news for Gen Z
