This is not my personal opinion, I know Gen Z men who voted for Harris. But the voter demographics really speak for themselves, and maybe now people will look at the radicalization of young men as a serious (but solvable) issue.

Iโ€™m a gen z male, raised in a far right Republican household. Iโ€™m a social democrat. I am progressive.

Same man. It was wild when middle school rolled around and I finally gained awareness of the world beyond myself and learned what the Republicans actually were and wanted. A friend who knew more about politics than me explained some stuff, and suddenly I had to question why my family was against progressive beliefs.

Can you please tell your entire generation to get it together worldwide? That'd be great, thanks.

Leaving this here just in case: /s

Good on you. No group is a monolith

Unironically, congrats on breaking free of the brainwashing. I grew up in an insanely red rural area and a very conservative religious family, unlearning all that shit has been a decades long process (and still continues).

Same. I live on a ranch in a deeply red area. Voted Kamala. I'm also happy to say my conservative parents are ex-republicans.

[โ€“] hoch@lemmy.world 20 points 13 hours ago

Same here. I've cut my entire family out of my life over this shit.

Mostly the same, i was raised to be a worthless red neck. I'm not. The issue with using our experiences is that we are people, we have an inner world and are capable of free thought. Trump's followers aren't.

I'm also a Gen Z male, raised in an evangelical household at a Christian school that supported Christian nationalism, and was supposed to be a strong conservative Christian but ended up turning into an atheist socialist instead. It's kind of funny to read that Gen Z is going radical right when for me it was the opposite.
