Four-times-indicted former president Donald Trump has been successfully selling white Christian nostalgia, racism and xenophobia to his base. However, the Public Religion Research Institute’s massive poll of 6,616 participants suggests that what works with his base might pose an insurmountable problem with Gen Z teens and Gen Z adults (who are younger than 25).

Demographically, this cohort of voters bears little resemblance to Trump’s older, whiter, more religious followers. “In addition to being the most racially and ethnically diverse generation in our nation’s history, Gen Z adults also identify as LGBTQ at much higher rates than older Americans,” the PRRI poll found. “Like millennials, Gen Zers are also less likely than older generations to affiliate with an established religion.”

Those characteristics suggest Gen Z will favor a progressive message that incorporates diversity and opposes government imposition of religious views. Indeed, “Gen Z adults (21%) are less likely than all generational groups except millennials (21%) to identify as Republican.” Though 36 percent of Gen Z adults identify as Democrats, their teenage counterparts are more likely to be independents (51 percent) than older generations.

      stop using full grammar when you can’t even type correctly half the time, you need to establish a firm grasp upon the logic with which the world exists in to understand that most things pushed nowadays aren’t correct, i suggest you exercise your mind by means of theorising about concepts rather than jumping upon a wish to “see sources”, because the sources are invented by those who want to keep you from your own mind :)

        I have never seen someone give off stronger sovereign citizen vibes without specifically mentioning “traveling not driving” or admiralty law. If you’re trolling, well done.

            I can spell “correctly” if I want, I choose not to. But then again you sound like someone who gets pissy that I spell and say aluminum and not aliminium even though I aint a fucking Saxon.

            But that is all irrelevant, you are choosing to not interact with any of my points due to a thin veneer of classism. All cause I choose to spell phonetically. Or in other words, Ya done did what I expected boy.

            But I can practically smell thine weakness through your comments. And allfather willing I hope you can hike up thine fucking panties and respond properly, stop being a gormless cowardly bitch.

                Wow a Irish person who is as bad a fucken Saxon thats a fucken new one. But I digress, you continue to avoid my original fucken question of what the fuck you mean, but y’know what I couldnt care less. Also real fucken rich calling other folks bad at writing when you seem to be only capable of writing with commas. Are you alergic to periods or something?

                And finally, as a son of Stewart and a Mac An Ultaigh. You are pathetic excuse for a Gael.

                    My ancestors havent stepped foot in Ulster for a thousand years, we hailed from Conacht by the time we came over 400 years ago. And I still aint gonna take writing criticism from captain run on sentence. And I wish my grandma McNulty was around so that she could split thine flesh until you learned proper fucking punctuation.

                    I am glad my ancestors chose to help conquer a continent, otherwise I couldve ended like you. An overly smug asshole who disgraces their ancestors with every breath.
