God I wish I wasn’t American. This would be funny af to basically everyone else but its just fucking embarrassing to me. Like how dumb is our electorate that this is who they pick multiple times?

Gen z is dumb as a damn rock

Boomers are the worst, generically named account

u/bbeeebb 21h ago

Yah. Check how many boomers make up the entire administration. How many broke into the Capitol. How many are in the Proud "Boys".

Bunch of whiney infants always wanting to blame someone else. It's the nature of the kids who had 'helicopter parenting'. (ie, post-boomer)

Uh, boomers were split 51/49 Harris trump. Larger percentage of Gen z was right wing last election cycle than the baby boomers., cringeily named account.

u/StoryAndAHalf 18h ago

Source on that? Every link I looked said young voters/voters under 30 skewed higher for Harris that's more than 51/49 split.

u/Kentust 16h ago

According to your chart I was wrong. It was a 50/50 split. A 60/40 split isn't some miraculous improvement, it's a minor difference and the person I was originally talking to implied boomers are heavily for trump which is patently false.

u/StoryAndAHalf 16h ago

I meant you said "Larger percentage of Gen z was right wing last election cycle than the baby boomers"
Baby boomers voted 50% for trump. Gen Z 43.5%. 43.5% is not larger than 50%. Unless you mean 2024 being this election cycle, and last being the previous one. In which case, 38% is still smaller than 52.5%.

u/Kentust 16h ago

I meant 2024, yes. I admit I was mistaken about the percentage of Gen z, but frankly that is a red herring to my true point about boomers not being overwhelmingly pro trump which is a common but popular falsehood.

u/StoryAndAHalf 16h ago

That's fair. it's honestly more of a rural/urban split than age one.

u/ButtStuffingt0n 20h ago

Idk. Gen Z is really trying to steal the stupidity throne from them.
