They got to be lazy and still had enough scraps from the boomers to not have to worry about too much. They have been apathetic to most issues as a voting block and hidden under the answer of their parents and older peers wouldn’t let them do anything. And now a group of them are poorer than ever and will happily and lazily blame whoever they are told to and the other side are finally getting the positions and wealth they were locked out of and either way it leads to a conservative shit group.
You can actually see some of that angry hard swing conservativism in a group of gen Z that either got transitioned unimaginable wealth or poverty early and have turned to fascism as well to protect or try to claim that wealth.
