I'm baffled by the correlation of age and support of conservatives. How is their top demo the youngest one?
Is social media / podcast bro brainrot really outdoing the common trope of getting more conservative with age?
A lot of people are going to tell you that "it's the algorithm", and there's some truth to that, but honestly I think it's a lot more straightforward:
The boomers got everything, and when they burned through that, they burned through the millennials' share too. If you're growing up a zoomer, you're looking around at a world literally on fire, and the emergence of what is effectively feudalism as the dominant world ~~religion~~ economic system. You'll never own a home, because literally everything is rented now. You're probably working 2 jobs, though they barely qualify for that word because there's zero security and you're carrying all the risk.
You're watching a literal genocide playing out on your phone, while the outgoing Trudeau proudly declares himself a Zionist, and literally everything is expensive, especially food.
Now, consider the political climate:
They've got the best story, and their opposition is either inept or oblivious. If they hadn't made the mistake of cozying up to Trump, they'd be a shoe-in for the next election.
Not to mention the right offers a refuge for straight young men because nobody else is speaking to them.
If you’re not pure enough you’re toxic and part of the patriarchy. LGBTQIA2SBIPOC or bust.
Where do you go? Well turns out there are plenty of groups willing to accept you.
Come be an alpha bro. You just need to hit the gym, find God, pick up a gun and invest in crypto.
Then you won’t be lonely anymore.
Is nobody else speaking to them? I think nobody else is coddling them. Like, leftist women aren't saying, "I won't date you unless you cut your dick off." But they are saying, "I won't date you unless you do at least 10% of the housework." I think the bar for acceptance among the left is pathetically low.
