There's a Gen Z kid that I was talking to who said she liked Trump because he's so funny and crazy, and that was literally as much as she knew about him, just the stupid antics. I was horrified, like, "You've got to be kidding?" I hope I did a good job explaining how bad he was for the country, but sometimes I wonder about the kids today. Get off my lawn.
I'd vote for President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho. He seems like a fun guy!
How politically aware were you at 18-20-something years old? All I remember from my first vote was Bush sounds like a cowboy, and I'm not into cowboys. Gore was the familiar one, and he and Clinton didn't seem too bad during my childhood, so I voted for him. I was way too busy trying to get high and laid to think much deeper than that. I'm sure today's kids are still into that, plus the added stress and depression of growing up in this modern world. I am so glad social media and a constant connection weren't a thing until I hit adulthood.
I didn't realize the consequences of someone's vote until we invaded Iraq for....reasons. I too thought it was a game that would never affect me personally.
I was extremely politically aware when I was 20. I was involved in activism and political organizations and all that stuff.
And that's where I met the leftists, and like every leftist, I found them extremely annoying. So no more political activism for me now, just... you know, voting the right way and getting into the occassional argument with fashy friends and family, like normal people do.
I see your point, though. People tend to think nobody gets convinced of anything because they are set in their ways, but the normies just get the vaguest echoes and politically active people just don't get a good view of what's going on.
Lots of people are very politically aware that that age. I was. My girlfriend was.
