    Of course. I have said all along that liberal progressivism is a fad. The next generation always rebels. Pretty soon liberal progressivism will be in the trash heap with bell bottoms and mullets.

    I don't buy that Gen X is as liberal as they claim in the article. I'm an Xer, and most Xers I know are conservative.

    That said, I am hopeful about Gen Z, as I've raised two of them. My oldest is much as described--very conservative and receptive to Trump. The other I'm trying to figure out, but as he's decided to become a vegetarian, is probably going to be to the left of his brother.

    Yes except a lot of the Gen X helped push Bill Clinton into the White House. But even he was moderate compared to today’s liberal.

    Also if I believe correctly there are still a ton of kids still to grow in Gen Z. They don’t seem to be able to get their nose out of a phone, and have zero situational awareness.

    Ross Perot gave Bill Clinton the White House. I've met almost no Perot voters who would have voted for Clinton had it been Clinton vs. Bush.

    In terms of the nose in the phones, that's culture wide. Lately, I've taken to looking around restaurants for phone usage. I'm actually noticing that middle aged and old people are just as bad (if not worse) about using phones at the table while their spouses/friends are around. No, maybe while walking around you have a point.
