    Don’t blame GenX and Boomers for our future problems…

    Blaming everything on “teh boomers” has always been a lazy and inaccurate meme.

    Especially when Young Conservatives (and Young Republicans) has been an active organization.

      If you follow worldwide trends, this actually matches anyways. It’s the youths that are voting far right the most, to the point that the occasional neo-nazi groups are almost entirely supported purely by the local youths.

      BTW, I’m not blaming them for being frustrated and going to the extremes. These last two decades have been bad, and there’s little hope of it getting much better for the next decade either. Especially with how vocal the left has been lately, it’s no surprise that the youth that wants change would vote the exact opposite of those that have been yelling in their ears all their lives.

      GenZ voting right is entirely the fault of the left. There hasn’t been a major rational voice in the left for so long, that the unheard right now sounds attractive for no more than being different.
