 Poll shows Trump’s approval rating is highest among Zoomers, with approx 64% saying he did a good job as president.

Are Gen Z shifting towards the right as they age? I wonder if they will become as politically extreme on the right as they were on the left when they were younger.

 Not sure I believe this. There's got to be something wrong with that survey, maybe how they were the questions or the sample size. 
 I have heard that a lot of gen z support RFKJ because he is independent.  
 I think he is also compromised, it's just an opinion. JFK was a real hero & great statesman.  
 Yeah, I am backing Donald Trump but that's just cause he's the best of the options we have right now in my opinion.  
 RFKJ is what Bernie was to Trump last time. Also not mainstream candidate and also kind of cool. I think millennials like RFKJ more than zoomers. He seemed sane to me, until another war started and here we go again 
 It's a very interesting trend and I won't pretend to fully understand it. 

The analogy to me is how my generation reacted to all the neocon war on terror propaganda. 

Today, the propaganda machine has been firmly in the hands of the DNC, so that's what today's youth are reacting to. 
 The propoganda machine is gay and kids are getting based.  
 Pretty much 
 We’re doomed. 
 This wouldn’t be any indication, as apart from some of Trump’s spicy one liners 😂 his policies are mostly centrist policies from 15 years ago. 

Although I met many zoomers who are extremely tired of political correctness and in friends circles dont hold back. Many know how to navigate in pc spaces like offices very well. 

When it comes to politics I think zoomers are more sane than millennials. Maybe the push to the left made zoomers hate the extreme political correctness and rebel against it. 
 "He's got better approval numbers in Canada than the Turdlet 🤣"
