It a shame they didn’t listen to Trump.

He said EXACTLY what he was going to do.

I’ll never understand how they could ignore literal millions of loved ones and trust a rich spoiled known scammer to change things for the better for them and not himself, on top of all of us explicitly saying he and republicans will purposely crash the economy and hurt innocent people for fun in the name of religion and conservatism.

As a non-American, I repeatedly got told to shut up and mind my own business when I complained about Trump. Well, he got elected and fucked the US, and fucked the rest of the world, and he's threatening to invade my country so it turns out it was my business after all. Cheers for that.

That's the generation that grew up with the large social media sites in place, and the constant message there traditional media would be untrustworthy.

I'm finding it difficult to understand why you think younger people are somehow less stupid and impressionable?

That's almost a by-definition sort of expectation here.

Young people are stupid and impressionable, just like how older people are less physically capable.

Impressionability is literally a defining aspect of being young and still having a developing brain. This is also why it's such a huge fight to corrupt our education system.

I think the key issue here is that, regardless of generation, most humans are stupid and impressionable.

socialist tyranny of health care

Lot of Gen Z is under 26, which means they can be under their parents healthcare. Have a coworker that's in that and until my job he didn't realize healthcare costs for insurance that comes out of paychecks. Like I told him, save up while he can be under his parents insurance.

But anyone older than, at this moment, being born after 10/18/2000 is now falling into the insurance pile.

Sucks... but this is the choice the country made.

I fail to understand how most people can see the Trump grift from miles away, and others are completely blind to it 🤔

This is the ultimate goal of undermining education.

It's not about the kids tho...

The same decline appears outside the United States. Horvath told senators that across roughly 80 countries, academic performance drops after digital technology becomes widely embedded in classrooms. The timing alone raises serious questions about how learning environments affect cognitive development.

It's about how instead of making them think, we taught them to just fucking Google shit and believe what it says.

"Oregon Trail generation" who grew up using computers but still having to learn legacy methods was the sweet spot, and there's absolutely nothing stopping us from returning to that.

Absolutely none of us use the Dewey Decimal system, but having to go to libraries and physically walk around pulling cards and finding books built critical thinking.

Typing in "Harry Potter" on a computer and getting a PDF doesn't build any skills.

The human brains biggest strength is offloading and being lazy. If the system thinks it doesn't need skills because they can be offloaded, it just won't learn them. Then at 22-23 when it's harder to learn those skills, gen z is finding out they actually need them.

They can be helped, but what's more important is making sure all those little kids right now start getting real educations again.

The fact that only 54% voted for Harris is the reason why Gen-Z gets so much hate.

Everybody expects old white men to vote Conservative. Meanwhile Gen-Z was born into the era of ubiquitous internet access. They've had access to the entire world's knowledge from the very moment they learned to read. So what's their excuse? They didn't have to just blindly follow whatever they told you to believe on the TV and in the newspaper, they've had access to cold, hard facts from the very beginning.

Therefore it is mind-blowing to me that a whopping forty six percent of them could manage to be this ignorant and dumb, when all they gotta do is pull out their always-online pocket computer and read to easily figure out that MAGA is completely and utterly full of shit.

Bottom line is that old white men at least had an excuse for ignorance at one point. Gen-Z never did. And that's why they deserve the most criticism out of any voting-age generation IMO.

“Trump Is the festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill-fitting suit: the sleaze of a conman, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a Klansman, the sexism of a back-alley creep, the ignorance of a bar-stool drunk, and the greed of a hedge-fund ghoul all spray-painted orange and paraded like a prize hog at a county fair. Not a president. Not even a man. Just the diseased distillation of everything this country swears it is not but has always been arrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense, cruelty sold as toughness, greed exalted as ambition, and corruption worshiped like gospel. It is America’s shadow made flesh, a rotting pumpkin idol proving that when a nation kneels before money, power, and spite, it does not just lose its soul it shits out this bloated obscenity and calls it a leader. The Trump regime this carnival of third-rate strongmen, grifters, sycophants, and sadists is not innovating anything. It is copying. It is importing the authoritarian model wholesale. They have read the Putin playbook, dog-eared the best parts, and now they are running it in real time. And the cruelty? That is not a flaw in the system. That is the system. Trump, a failed businessperson and serial conman, did not stumble into power because he had a vision. He stumbled into it like a raccoon into a jewellery store: overwhelmed, opportunistic, and desperate to grab everything shiny before the lights come on, He brought with him a gang of similarly hollow, self-serving goons parasites in flag pins who recognized that brute force and spectacle could serve as a perfect cover for mass-scale corruption. All they needed was enough boots, enough masks, and enough Americans too scared or too exhausted to resist. Americans must avoid being overwhelmed by the torrent of frightening moves the Trump administration has made. Instead resist the paralysis that might result from that torrent, for the sake of both you and our patriotic predecessors who fought for freedom and defeated fascism in Europe in World War II.”

They did it because it gave them a good feeling that they could express their toxic behavior with impunity. Also, they hate brown people, immigrants, women, anyone who isn’t white.
