They said the same thing about millenials, then they get older, get jobs, and families, and bills, and bitterness, and many look for people to blame and shift right.

Mighty big leap in logic to assume all those youngsters would vote democrat. More Democrat Vs Republican bullshit. Ya know what it would look like if we had "no confidence" as an option? No one other than biden would have actually won presidency in the last 40yrs. That's what would happen if our voting system was fixed. Not some imaginary blue wave for k Harris. That's literally opium pipe dreams. Not voting is more indicative of hating the voting options than it is of apathy. They fear the actual will of the people, its why we won't get a candidate we choose.

The National Public Opinion Reference Survey (NPORS) published by Pew Research in July shows people under 30 lean Republican over Democrat party identification. That's the first time the NPORS has reported that fact.

Breaking out those registered to vote, Republicans under 26 beat Democrats by over 29% (63.8%R to 34.3%D). So, not only do young people generally lean Republican, but by petty staggering numbers when looking at those actually registered to vote. Young people are more conservative now than they have been in many decades.

This was pretty big news a month ago. Gen Z might be coming for someone, but it might not be who you think.
