Young Americans are also more likely than older Americans to support punishing people at work for personal donations to Trump. Forty‐ four percent (44%) of Americans under 30 support firing executives if they donate to Trump. This share declines to 22% among those over 55 years old—a 20‐ point difference. An age gap also exists for Biden donors, but is less pronounced. Twenty‐ seven percent (27%) of Americans under 30 support firing executives who donate to Biden compared to 20% of those over 55—a 7‐ point difference.
I think millennials might be quite a case study on bad parenting, because Gen Z are literally turning out to be bad apples. This is all of our faults, we are failing our kids more or less.
Reminds me of the recent violence in France “connected” to Islam. Where did you kids learn this stuff? Who is parenting you?
What is all this internet and global economy, and social connections via social networks for if this is how narrow minded our new generations are becoming? What is the point of all this exposure if you are literally turning out to be stupid people?
- rtkaratekid 6y agoHoly hell, I dislike certain politicians as much as the next guy, but punishing people at work for making donations is absolutely ludicrous. Do you have a link to where you got this data?
- runawaybottle 6y agoIt’s in the article.

- rtkaratekid 6y agoGah! I was caught. I’ll read it now.

- runawaybottle 6y agoThanks for correcting. Gen X gets the least amount of flak compared to boomers, millennials and Gen Z, so that is interesting. It’s not easy raising kids for sure, but it’s almost like you have to be callous to not understand what kinda rat race the working world can be, and how hyper competitive even the shittiest of jobs are. Why are these values not being passed down? Usually, children of working immigrants see how hard their parents or people in their community work in jobs. Are Gen X so well off in middle management somewhere that their kids casually believe it’s aright to sack someone’s livelihood for their political beliefs? Do we need to take Twitch and Phones away from these idiots and have them go work in the gig economy like a dog for a bit?

- GreenWatermelon 6y agoI would say there has to be some mandatory parenting classes you have to take before getting married/having kids, just like driving and driving school. The vast majority of people know fuckall about parenting, and in turn raise disfunctional kids that know nothing about proper parenting, and the cycle continues. Intervention is needed, in the form of teaching better parenting.
- whamlastxmas 6y agoA lifetime of living with your own dysfunctional parents is not going to be solved by a single class. Parenting issues seem largely generational

- conanbatt 6y agoGen Z prob have Gen X parents. washes hands I think the real issue with political polarization is that the stakes at the individual level are very very low when you are in an offensive position. People that think that people should get fired over donations have no risk of getting fired for that opinion themselves. Generally there is a problem of escalation and individual responsibility, and its all being concentrated in the political sphere because of it. There is another major trend which is that governments are directing themselves on polling more than ever: they are constantly making stances and policies on the latest hot-tweet, which makes the political sphere way too relevant to people's daily lives.
