Four-times-indicted former president Donald Trump has been successfully selling white Christian nostalgia, racism and xenophobia to his base. However, the Public Religion Research Institute’s massive poll of 6,616 participants suggests that what works with his base might pose an insurmountable problem with Gen Z teens and Gen Z adults (who are younger than 25).
Demographically, this cohort of voters bears little resemblance to Trump’s older, whiter, more religious followers. “In addition to being the most racially and ethnically diverse generation in our nation’s history, Gen Z adults also identify as LGBTQ at much higher rates than older Americans,” the PRRI poll found. “Like millennials, Gen Zers are also less likely than older generations to affiliate with an established religion.”
Those characteristics suggest Gen Z will favor a progressive message that incorporates diversity and opposes government imposition of religious views. Indeed, “Gen Z adults (21%) are less likely than all generational groups except millennials (21%) to identify as Republican.” Though 36 percent of Gen Z adults identify as Democrats, their teenage counterparts are more likely to be independents (51 percent) than older generations.
A little dissatisfaction is all it takes to scare you into rigid, terrified conformity? How pitiful 😂
Notice how nature adapts and thrives on various domains, dynamically and powerfully. The opposite of the very conformity you claim is the key to success 🤦
conformity is not the key to success, contentment with the fact that nature is rigid is the key to success, you can do anything within the bounds of reason lest it result in personal misfortune
I don’t think anyone agrees that nature is rigid, it is in fact fully dynamic, as a system. The rules are simple, but the results are not. I know that’s what you meant, if only your thinking was less occluded by obedience.
Woohoo for freedom!
