Gen Z is the one that will voluntarily surrender the nation to its enemies…NOT because they are consciously seeking surrender, but because they’re deceived into believing vacuous notions like "our strength is in our diversity"…and because they will routinely abandon high standards and expectations for behavior that are unchanging, for low standards like "equity" that change with the whims of the mob.Rafe wrote: ↑Mon Nov 06, 2023 11:05 am What is disturbing to me--but isn't shocking--is that the Biden/Harris campaign is now worried because a big chunk of their base is basically 50/50 about supporting Israel; the feeling is that if Uncle Joe doesn't lighten the rhetoric and financial/military support for Israel, that it could damage him even more in next year's election. I think this is one reason his handlers had him go, within just days, from "we unequivocally stand by Israel" to "well, maybe Israel should lighten up a little bit on the military action for a while, you know, stand back and assess things."
That important base of voters? Gen Z, people born between the late 1990s and early 2010s. In other words, the 18-24-year-olds who have been thoroughly inculcated into left-thinking by our educational system and the ultra-liberal influencers who spend time and money "training" this generation of voters.
A Harvard-Harris poll from October, after the attack on Israel, got 2,116 responses and found that 84% of Americans were in support of Israel, with 16% indicating direct support for Hamas. But that went very differently by age group. The 18-24 group showed 52% for Israel, and 48% for Hamas.
An NPR-PBS-Marist poll from October 11 showed that only 48% of respondents in the 18-to-29 age group said the U.S. government should support Israel.
A Quinnipiac poll, taken October 12-16 indicated that almost 20% of 18-to-34 age groups feels explicitly that Israel is responsible for the outbreak of violence in the Middle East, not Hamas.
Where are we as a country headed if, come 2040, this is the generation of political "leaders" entering office in their 40s?
I’m old enough that I likely won’t have to live through Gen Z's control of gov’t and the economy, but I am scared for my grandkids.
