Don’t fret, fellow Americans. There is hope.
Studies suggest that America’s youngest generation – Generation “Z” as the media calls them – are likely to be Republicans.
Also sometimes called the “iGeneration,” Americans born between 1996 and 2010 grew up amidst the aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attacks and global terrorism in general, media hype of gun violence, a stagnant economy and massive advancements in technology and information access.
It’s a very unstable society compared to how anyone over 30 grew up, and Generation Z has greater distrust in a centralized, powerful government and consolidation of power. They will also be the “last majority-white generation” in American history, The Daily Caller reports.
They have witnessed the repercussions of failed foreign interventions and federal intervention in the economy and health care.
The study – by political scientist Jeff Brauer – suggests the up-and-coming generation will be “liberal-moderate” on social issues like gay marriage and civil rights and “moderate-conservative” on fiscal and national security issues.
“While many are not connected to the two major parties and lean independent, Gen Z’s inclinations generally fit moderate Republicans.”
