Like any good millennial, I have a love-hate relationship
with Gen Z. I love that they're rethinking the rules of work and culture.
I love that they love wired headphones.
Gen Z trendsetters are making the old technology the must-have accessory this fall.
I love that they're healthier than other generations.
But there's also some things I just don't understand about them.
They wear millennial styles and listen to millennial music, but they hate millennials?
They weirdly hate every sex scene in a movie, and they hate the laughing emoji too?
Regardless of how you feel about Gen Z,
it's undeniable that younger voters are changing the national political scene more and more every year.
And in particular, it's their political independence, their unwillingness to define themselves by Democrat
or Republican, that's different than generations prior.
We heard some of this at Trump's UFC fight in Washington, D.C. We don't care which side it is.
It's just whoever has, you know, whoever's putting America first, whoever's got, you know, the priority values.
And the vote's up to grabs, it's up for them to earn it.
But the difference comes through even more clearly in the data.
This generation doesn't think about politics like the ones prior.
So what is going on with the kids?
I think the biggest misconception about Gen Z's politics right now is that all of a sudden they're all socialists.
That is just not the case.
