The youth are such a disappointment. I really did have high hopes for future generations.
I wouldn't blame just the young older people have an even worse problems. Social media use is just rewiring people's brains for the worse.
It's also just the fault of older generations. Zoomers didn't invent any of the addictive technology that has fucked their brains. In fact it's actually the Zoomers who are attempting to solve the problem themselves by adopting older technology like dumbphones and embracing digital minimalism. Older generations try to meme on them and portray it as a performative fad, which it may well be for some, but the fact they're doing it at all suggests they're actually cognisant of the problems unlike older Millenials and Gen X who are just completely delusional and in total denial about how addicted they are.
Millennials were shifting left towards progress and democracy, but recent voting demographics show Gen Z shifting in the opposite direction. They don't have "even worse problems".
the left doesn't offer gen z anything appealing.
in order to get people to vote for you you have to be appealing to them. a concept the democrats have failed to grasp for about 50 years now. except for Obama. btu the democrats act like he was jesus, and not just someone who listened to the voters and gave them what they wanted.
people who voted for Obama also now vote for Trump.
