This article poses a Yes or No question in its headline, then takes 1500 words to answer it with “Maybe, sort of by some metrics, but not in any way that matters. I don’t know only time will tell.”
It includes Millennials in its statistics about Gen Z by referencing “under 30’s” (the youngest Millennials are currently 28) and includes a comparison of Gen Z to both “middle aged” people and Millennials, which overlap, the oldest Millennials are 43. So it’s comparing young millennials to middling millennials and saying they’re actually more like old millennials.
I wish I hadn’t read it. My bad though, I should have known. Articles that generalize people into categories as broad as generations are always poorly written.
I generally disagree with the analysis of the article. Particularly, I think that Gen Z men and women showing roughly the same divide in voting as older generations still constitutes a major shift. If it gets to the point that Gen Z has a greater divide than older generations, I would consider that an extreme result of this trend. Curious what y’all think?
At least in USA conservatives are trying to actively take away women rights, so I’m kind of surprised the drift is not even worse.
