    I have been saying for the past 6 - 8 years that Gen Z is the future, they are different, they are compassionate, etc. My opinion changed on that Tuesday in a bad way.

      As an elder gen Z, I’ve long noticed that the younger half of the generation is different. Gen alpha act like they have actual brain damage. We’re doomed.

      Turns out that growing up with a phone in their hand made a lot of them particularly susceptible to right-wing propaganda.

        I agree that this is the lesson, but it’s bolstered by decades of bad behavior by the previous generations who chose not to leave a livable world for their children.
