Analysis shows Gen Z can be liberal on issues like reproductive rights and climate change while conservative on the economy, jobs and immigration.

    This is something that really bothers me. You can’t be liberal on the issues of abortion and climate change and also be supportive of conservative politicians who are completely opposed to those two things being important. You’re basically just a liar.

    Edit because of some comments: I agree that some aren’t lying. Most are definitely convinced by the propaganda. But there’s also people who are lying to themselves about it. That last one is what I was talking about. I’m gonna leave the original phrasing though because of the people directly addressing it.

    Young adults want to protect abortion rights.

    GOP casts Propaganda.

    Young adults became confused.

    The young adults hurt themselves in their confusion.

    Low information voters are easily confused, but also consider that polling doesn’t capture cross sections very well. If 6 out of 10 can vote for the GOP, and 6 out of 10 support the right to abortion, then only 2 out of 10 need to be completely oblivious. It would still be true to say that a majority voted for Trump, and a majority support abortion rights. That doesn’t mean it’s the same majority.

    I haven’t looked at the data, but it wouldn’t surprise me that 20% of people in any category are confused or out of touch.

    Conservatism always hurts the economy
