Gen Z has a major problem. We are divided. Everyone knows we can be passionate about our politics, and that can lead to some differences. But what many may not realize is that Gen Z has a major division along gender lines that other generations don't seem to be dealing with. We differ so much that it's starting to be a problem with how we see each other. (Snip) Polling suggests that more than 70% of college Democrats wouldn’t go on a date with a Republican, whereas the opposite is just 31 percent. Thirty-seven percent of young Democrats wouldn’t even

Brainwashed at college. Most of those blue kids are women, btw.

FTA
-“ Conservatives shouldn't ignore college:Young conservatives like me are told not to attend college. That's shortsighted.”
Wrong.
Why have a have a lifetime of debt and be less educated than an 8th grader of a 150 years ago?
Everything that Professor thinks he knows is on your smart phone.
That’s modern education.

3, because if you want a STEM career you literally must go to college. Engineer, doctor, lawyer, finance, anything high paying.
If you want to smoke out, party, and get a degree in poetry then college is your best bet to get a low level office job that requires no skill, effort or brains. The poetry kids would never survive a blue collar career. They're better off paying school debt forever than starving by the side of the road, begging.

I agree with both #'s 3 & 4. My professional Architecture degree would not have been satisfied with a couple of semesters in trade school. However, if you are majoring in the History of Unicorns with a minor in Underwater Basket Weaving, it's probably better to try an independent study at Community College, if at all!!

Referring to sex as gender is the starting point. It is straight downhill from there.

Gen Z women are feral. As a result, a lot of our young men have simply stopped dating. Dace is a perfect Gen Z name.

I have two millennials, who have great jobs, work hard and turned out by choice to be conservative. I have one gen z. Not only is this article true about gen z, but it is ruining families. gen z order their parents to agree with them, and many of them accuse their mildly conservative parents of being racist, homophobic and if they vote for Trump they disown them. This is a real thing. My gen z gets very upset when we do not use the "chosen" pronouns for all his friends. The public schools and evil forces are destroying families and these kids have no hope and are very depressed, angry and messed up. This is a spiritual crisis.

Don't worry, all of those girls will get near 30yo and suddenly the "Appeal" of conservative guys will mysteriously register, attributes like...a JOB, a career, skills, accountability, responsibility, consistency...a HOUSE...with a YARD...in a good school district.
I overheard two women talking about where to find "Good Men"...one of them said "Home Depot, in the garden section...Look for the ones in nice clothes, not gardeners work clothes, good shoes, fancy watch...if they are there they already have a House they bought, not renting, with a yard, that means a good school district for MY Kids, they are easy to meet, just ask them any question about yard stuff, weed killer or grass seed or something"

Why would you want to associate with those who want to destroy all that you support and hold dear? I want nothing to do with leftists no matter what generation. I want them to fail in their quest to turn the world into a Godless leftist utopia. And if I was a young person looking for someone to spend my life with in marriage, I certainly would not look at candidates who I disagree with on the fundamental aspects of life and society regardless of how good looking they are. The leftists will always rule in a relationship and force the conservative into submission. When was the last time you heard from Mary Matalin?

# 3, 4, 5 - All those high paying jobs require work permits from woke government agencies or woke associations. If you want one of those jobs you’ll have to keep your conservative views a secret… and you’d better not be a white male.

Looking like another "lost generation" (original was 1883 - 1910, WW I) is going to unfold. The first was due to war, this one due to the lack of "true" education which became passe when those in power had the means and will to indoctrinate a malleable and uncurious generation so they can stay in power indefinitely. All information Gen Z receives is via their iPhones. They don't know how to read, write, think critically or perform any adult type tasks. There is no upside to believing men can give birth, women are men, being white automatically makes you a racist, thinking the government has their best interests in mind in any matter, particularly schemes to get rich pretending they are saving the world. The Gen Z's that are conservative and are able to think critically will be relatively fine down the road as they are called on to do real world things while the majority of their generation belittles and berates them. Rudyard Kipling's poem "If" comes to mind.

So, this is why these women become lesbians. Can't get a guy to pay any attention to them, and the guys who might be Republican get shunned.
Lots of old maids being 'self created' by these sad, warped and vicious creatures.

Generation Zero has to be without a doubt, hands down, no contest, the stupidest generation in the history of the world.

Re #16, I disagree. They are HEAVILY PROPAGANDIZED into believing all sorts of non-factual things. Brain damaged by schools.

WE're doomed. This reads like a budding RINO. Wonder if this was how Mitt Romney got started.
