Summary
Despite his conservative platform, Donald Trump made unexpected gains among Gen Z voters. Exit polls showed a shift, with young men favoring Trump by 2 points, a reversal from Biden’s previous lead.
Gen Z’s support for Trump may have been underestimated, as an Axios poll found nearly half of Gen Z voters lied about their vote, with young men more likely to support Trump quietly.
Trump connected with young men through appearances on popular podcasts and endorsements from social media influencers.
Disillusionment with the economy and frustration with the Democratic Party’s approach to working-class issues also drove some Gen Z voters to seek change, with Trump capitalizing on these sentiments.
He endorses whoever likes him the most. He’s a moron. And so are his remaining fans.
Someone on Lemmy yesterday insisted that he was actually smart. When I asked for evidence, they mocked me for asking for evidence. That’s the level of intellect we’re talking about here.
Agreed, but, to be fair, what constitutes “smart” is not really objective. It can mean different things to different people and the evidence to back it up may not be acceptable evidence to those you debate.
I wasn’t the one insisting he was smart. It’s not really up to me to define it. They did not. They decided instead to mock the idea of asking for evidence for something.
Edit: Also, I provided links with quotes and a video to show what a fucking idiot he is.
