Current Events > Generation Z and Boomers are the same

(+) Yeah! (+)

Once gen z get to the same age as the boomers they will have the same beliefs and values. Its called growing up.

---

Gen Z will likely be noticiably less religious

---

Your political leaning in life is usually locked in by the time you hit adulthood

---

no they won't. generations alternating between liberal and conservative is boomer coping and mythology

---

That is false, most people start to change their views when they are am adult with a decent job and pay taxes.

Again

There's not much to suggest that's the case

I am not saying they are like boomers at all just that many people change their political stance when it is their money being taxed and they are effected on a financial level.

I know a lot of classmates that used to be democrats in high school but then once they got out of their parents house, then had a job that paid well they turned into republicans.

there are people who become more leftist or liberal when they grow up and have responsibilities

---

It can go either way, it depends on your views and what you value.

Some ppl are just parroting that dumbass quote about how if you're young and not a liberal then you have no heart and if you're grown up and not conservative then you have no brain

Millennials are more like boomers than anyone

Gen X/Z are responding to that

---

They probably said the same of Millennials too.

---

all the things that Republicans are holding on to with one/few issue voters are slipping away and there's gonna be a considerable backlash against their commitment to Trump that lasts a long time. But the Democratic party players have shown that they can easily be taken advantage of by Republicans and both parties will fight like a cornered animal to protect their status in our two party system.

If Biden wins and his regime really embraces progressive values, the Democratic party could dominate the way they did in the FDR/Truman years. Nothing up until now suggests that will happen, though, leaving the door open for a neocon reprisal or some other hornswoggle sometime in the next four-twelve years.

Right, thats why every single adult demographic is just as conservative as boomers

---

Most Millennial's wont act like Millennial's when they hit their 30s or early 40s.

Dude a very sizable chunk of millennials are in the 30s and early 40s

---

Boomers honestly aren't that bad. Millennials and Z'ers are way worse. X'ers = Master Generation

I'm just as liberal as I was when I was making $7 an hour at Burger King, when my current household income is ~200k (not on either coast). While I am taxed a lot, that doesn't change the fact that """conservative values""" are the antithesis of what I grew up believing the USA was.

Tories =/= The bat-shit crazy, Machiavellian, far right U.S. political party

---

Also that seemed to suggest people vote to "keep the status quo" and not necessarily conservative. If the right continues to resist the status quo as it is these days, then I don't see people continuing to favour them as they get older.

I figured this would be about making fun of millenials
