I've always been more conservative since the 2016 election. Around that time, I saw that most people didn't care about politics in my age group, but I still saw how troubled we all were, many of my classmates doing drugs in the bathroom, drinking and engaging in casual sex at parties.
Then after the election, everyone's political beliefs became something that was no longer a secret, and it started to become easy to guess someone's political beliefs based on their attitude and appearance.
Young people have always had a strong liberal lean, but gen z is the most far left in history, with more than 67% being liberal. Twitter and TikTok have also taken over as media outlets became so incredibly dishonest in their reporting. Now all major corporations are trying to force liberal beliefs on everyone, and pop culture is doing the same.
I won't be pushed into any belief which is not true to me, and my only loyalty is to what is right. As such, I will never lie nor withhold my beliefs when asked, although my appearance already gives away that I'm conservative given that I'm lean, have short hair, and I dress in normal colors.
More and more, I see extremism gripping gen Z, and immaturity still running rampant in people only a few years younger than me. They also look decades younger than I and very few of them have ever worked a job. Glorification of gang violence, condemnation of law enforcement, support for the stripping of our constitutional rights by the federal government, and dehumanization of political dissidents has made me lose faith in Gen Z.
It makes me happier that I'm assumed to be older than I am, because I'd sure hate to be put in the same bucket as other zoomers. I've seen that the world hardly ever changes for the better and I see gen z as potentially the dumbest and most destructive generation in human history.
