The Internet Is Roasting Gen Z For How They Voted In The 2024 Election
According to an NBC exit poll, "Trump picked up a larger portion of voters under 30 than any Republican presidential candidate since 2008."
The AP says, "Voters under age 30 represent a fraction of the total electorate, but about half of them supported Harris. That’s compared to the roughly 6 in 10 who backed Biden in 2020. Slightly more than 4 in 10 young voters went for Trump, up from about one-third in 2020."
In Texas alone, they say, "In 2020, just 35% of voters between the ages of 18 and 29 voted for Trump. This year, that grew to 51%."
This change in voting patterns from 2020 to 2024 has started a discussion online, and much of it centers around the typical Gen Z vs. millennial discourse.

"Oh the skinny jeans and side parts are *cringe*? Literally no one I talk to got radicalized by a YouTuber selling muscle milk you illiterate dipshits," this millennial chimed in.

Because this is a thing at the moment, here are the best tweets about the latest generational war:
We grew up on the Matrix and were young adults when Catfish dropped. A lot of our pop culture was based on being distrustful of what you see on the internet. https://t.co/s1Pr8E31VF

Crazy how Millennials were the only ones to learn how to use computers and we apparently are also the only ones who learned to see through disinformation on those same exact computers.Literally everyone else younger & older than us is like a native population with a new disease https://t.co/bfPbhqFZCH
