Polling data shows gen Z is the least likely demographic to vote for One Nation, with support coming from older generations.

Young Australians have told triple j hack how a difference in politics has impacted their family dynamic.

Relationships Australia said it is hearing from more people experiencing family fallouts over politics.

And it isn't true. One Nation support crosses economic boundaries. The only thing that truly unites a One Nation voter is they are people who will trade away their futures and those of their countrymen for a bunch of BS.

What we must do that stupid yanks couldnt is not leave our mates and families behind to be caught up in this crap. They were morally broken long before MAGA. They watched as kids got shot in schools every month for years and did fuck all. We aren't like that. Get out and talk sense to people if you care about them and ignore all the social media bullshit.

Spend some quality time with the oldies and they have less time to be sucked into all the online propaganda.

My parents are too far gone.

I really despise trying to reason with people who aren't being reasonable.
