Gen Z more likely to deny climate change than millennials

Less likely to approve of NFL protests

Same on gay and interracial marriage

The only thing they really differ on is pronouns which Zoomers always swing way conservative on with overwhelming approval

You're just repeating what I said and misinterpreting the statistics. Gen Z is far more radical on both ends, but the median Gen Z person is more to the left than previous generations. Gen Z is not more conservative overall, just the fringe end is more fascist.

But the stats don’t put them further left than millennials

If we only focus on the left then we have 56 thinking it’s man made for millennials and 54 for Zoomers. So where do you get more left from?

If we say it’s margin of error and they are the same then where do you get more left from?

More radicalization on both ends, like I said. If the average conservative millenial isn't as insane as the average conservative Gen Z, it can give you the illusion that there are more.

Easy enough.
