Are your Gen Z kids Conservative?
I am a left of center, arguably more left than center, elder Millennial. I've done my best to explain why I feel the way that I do about social issues or my outlooks on police, the government, the wage gap in the US. I have been engaged because my Gen X Dad was not on these topics, and admittedly, I followed his beliefs until I was in my early to mid twenties and got some actual world experience. But despite my efforts, my teen kids are VERY conservative im their opinions. I can only chalk it up to being "not cool" to have the same outlook as your parents. Or maybe it's because they grew up in a time where there was a lot of "radical leftism" (for lack of a better term) in their lives and they're raging against that. I just hope the world experiences they gain lead them back to a more gentle, caring, and understanding viewpoint. Is anyone else in this same boat?
