Donald Trump's Gen Z popularity plunges - Lemmy.World

Summary Donald Trump’s popularity among Generation Z voters has sharply declined since the 2024 election, according to a new Economist/YouGov poll. His net favorability among 18-29-year-olds has dropped from +19 in November to -18, raising concerns for Republicans about sustaining youth support. While Trump gained ground with young voters in 2024, recent policies—such as his mass deportation plan and targeting of DEI initiatives—may have contributed to this decline.

Good news, having such an eye-awakening experience at an impressionable age can drive people left-wing for their lifetime. Same has happened during Trump-1, Bush-2 and Bush-3, (now in Canadian politics) the Walkerton Crisis, the Mulroney days, and now hopefully with Doug Ford.

Bad news: They already got played, and they might get played again in 4 years with billions of big tech money intended to distract the masses.

We’re going to be damned lucky if we get the chance for people to be played again.

It won’t be luck that will save your democracy, it will be determination.
