Watch out Millennials, generation Z is coming! Conservatism will make a comeback

Why Democrats Should Be Losing Sleep Over Generation Z

There has been much talk about the Millennial generation being entitled, lazy, and narcissistic. And while Millennials like myself were busy fending off the harsh criticisms and stereotypes constantly flung at our generation, a whole new demographic was slowly emerging from the shadows. Hello, Generation Z! The fiscally responsible, tattoo hating, Republican leaning group, touted by conservatives as their best hope for the future, and as the antithesis of Millennials.

...

According to research, Gen Z is more individualistic, more conservative both socially and fiscally, and they’re already making waves of impact on our political system. Gen Z, those born in 1995 or later, is possibly the most conservative generation since World War II, and it is worrying that their impact has been completely overlooked during this election.

...

Oftentimes Millennials have been criticized for being notoriously liberal, but it looks like the generation right behind us has completely rebelled. A U.K. Study at The Gild did a survey of almost 2,000 adults and found that on issues like gay marriage, marijuana legalization, transgender rights, and even tattoos, 59% of Gen Z respondents described their views as ‘conservative’ and ‘moderate’.

Interesting article. There is still hope for a strong Western world after all?

The myth of inevitability takes another hit?

Isn't this something that goes in cycles?

Like having conservative parents make you more likely to raise your children liberal and vise versa to some extent?

I think I remember reading about something like that, or maybe I remember wrong.

Yeah man totally. Just look at all the students joining the conservative party and voting for Theresa May

I know its a troll thread but I feel like saying, all the things conservative millennials hate about millennials are actually coming from the igen.

You are not wrong.

it's because the left has a shitty sense of humor and can't meme for the life of them.

therefore these kids coming up see cringey shit and get pulled more to the right by alex jones and his gay frogs.

I'm a conservative Generation Z, please tell me where I can find my fellow comrades because literally everyone I know is a Europe loving, Corbyn-licking, virtue signalling ass hat.

Millennials are the best generation! We must destroy generation Z before they gain in power!

[Crissi]

It does tend to be cyclical, but society, generally, slowly progresses over time. Think of it like an up and down stock market.

Although I question the "conservative" label if they;re against rights that hurt no one else

Who the fuck is proud of hating tattoos to the point they advertise it like that. That is some of the most petty bullshit I've seen rofl.

Forbes is pretty much the wikipedia of news. Basically anyone can write for them, about anything, but their reliability is shit for it.

Conservative rebels until they leave home and discover out that their Ayn Rand paradise of temporary piece work gigs kind of sucks. Give them time.

OP is firmly in the "Us vs Them, Labels are everything" camp.

There was always hope.

I think younger people might not be so open about it in a world where the millennials are screaming bloody murder for having a conservative opinion. Or any opinion that differs from their for that matter.

On the subject of Corbyn, Momentum are currently purging the Labour Party of the impure.

Re-enacting the early years of the Russian Communist revolution shows they take their far left craziness really seriously.

[Ravenblade]

I'm very conservative. I'm practically marmelade.

[Moralgy]

Bullshit.

Nobody my age or younger wants to fucking ban weed or stop gay people from getting married, and if that is your idea of conservatism then conservatism is going to die out.

I wonder if these people are just excited that the kids are calling theirself conservatives despite their views running completely opposite to that in reality. Unless the survey is being misrepresented, its basically just the survey takers self labeling theirself.

So kids in highschool are parroting their parents views since they aren't old enough to have life experience yet? Oh yea, the world is about to flip over!
