    With the exception of millennials, who were born between 1981 and 1996, Gen Z adults are notably less likely than those in other generations to identify as conservative.

    Or in simpler terms, both Millennials and Gen Z are equally less likely than those in other generations to identify as conservative.

      It turns out that people don’t become more conservative as they age, they become more conservative as they gain wealth. Millennials and Gen Z aren’t.

        Dude it’s plainly obvious, at least in my lived experience trying to reach 40. The Republicans I know who “became” republican all either

        1. Moved up in class (perceived or real)
        2. Became religious
        3. Legitimately has a mental illness

        I am not saying this as a dig, and I am not saying all Republicans etc etc just the people who weren’t and then CHANGED THEIR MIND.
