Just remember that according to the cannon timeline, the United States was rounding up people and putting them in “sanctuary districts” and in 2027 it’s the start of World War 3. Who knows, we may be right on track for that brighter future!
We were teenagers under dubya and the iraq war. Depending on how much the country swings into actual fascism this time, gen alpha might wind up standing for general anarchism
First generation seen moving left as it ages and a reverse tendency might be happening with the Z men while the Z women are much more left leaning. It might also be part of why Z men seem so much farther right, the women of their generation are much farther left than women of previous generations so the division is much more clear. In truth the men might not be much further right than men of previous generations were when it comes to the policies they agree with, we just didn’t pay as much attention to it back then…
Just some stuff they were talking about on the radio a few weeks ago…
That’s generally the consensus, that young men are roughly as conservative as they were historically, but women are more left-wing (although maybe a bit less than expected, given recent election results).
Results from Reagan’s 1980 election win look fairly similar: https://ropercenter.cornell.edu/how-groups-voted-1980, excepting that women and men were voting in similar ways for each age group, and bigger margins to Reagan in the older groups.
EDIT: Nevermind this doesn’t actually show age by gender data.
Idk what that means though. Are you saying men always felt women’s place was in the kitchen and now women are saying it isn’t so they’ve moved more liberal?

Pretty much, although it’s not just about gender issues. Women have turned more progressive on a variety of issues (climate change, the economy, social issues) whereas men haven’t.
Millenials appear to have been peak liberal.
Watching TNG reruns nightly as an 8 year old really gave me some hope for humanity’s potential.
Same. Le sigh 😕

I think the ones that elected FDR 4 times have us beat
Hell I’d vote for him a fifth time, but he’s mysteriously not running.
Although I suppose he wasn’t running the first four times either…
Took me far longer than it should have to get this joke.

Then how did women’s right to vote pass if men have always felt women shouldn’t be able to vote?
Sure…
“Liberal.”
If this is true, it might explain so much of why they were so angry.
