In an Atlantic piece, psychologist Jean Twenge asked a serious question: “Why are the kids all right-wing?” She argued that the perceived Generation Z “red wave” that characterized President Donald Trump‘s rise to the White House was merely temporary. Nevertheless, Twenge interviewed data analyst David Shor, who sounded the alarm: “Young people have gone from being the most progressive generation since the baby boomers … to becoming potentially the most conservative generation that we’ve experienced maybe in 50 or 60 years.”
Maybe that says more about the last decade than about Gen Z.
