I'm sorry to break it to you but Gen Z saw the largest shift towards conservatives in the youth demographic ever recorded. 7% more women 18-29 voted for Trump in 2024 than in 2020, and 15% more men 18-29. The youth voter turnout also decreased by as much as 10%. [LINK TO SOURCE](https://now.tufts.edu/2024/11/12/young-voters-shifted-toward-trump-still-favored-harris-overall)

This is true, but it's also true that the internet did it to them because nobody ever held any technology companies accountable while there was still time. Every time I hear some idiot talk about how the dumbing down of technology was necessary because normal people don't want to have to understand technology to use it, I remind them that not understanding technology is 90% of what got us to this point.
