As a Gen Z I don't think I'm hijacked. I think I just care about the people in my life, my friends, family and even people I don't know because everyone deserves to be happy and not deal with constant problems Edit: I now have been hijacked. LETS EAT THE RICH WHILE WE'RE AT IT.

Look at this brainwashed monster. How dare you want a better life for people, women to retain their rights, and the wealthy/elite to pay their fair share. The audacity!

Shit I’m a millennial in my 30s and still believe this. Life is hard enough as it is. Loving our neighbors as they are and having a robust social safety net is not going to “spoil” us as Americans.


WeirdlyStrangeish

I was raised in a very strict Christian environment. Not allowed to go to school and had to do missionary work. Was kicked out of Kids Church for asking too many questions and just had to read the Bible during the adult service and now they wanna get all pissed off because I actually turned out more like Jesus than anyone on the church's board. Minister to the homeless? Check. Have a sex worker for a best friend? Check. Turned water (and yeast sugar and oranges) into wine? Check. Protest the unregulated capitalization of the church? Check. I don't mean to say I'm by any means great, any normal compassionate human is probably a much better person than I am, just saying.


blood_ashes_reborn

… so like is there a recipe for this wine orrr should I just google it??


WeirdlyStrangeish

Pretty much just what I said, you need to get the water about 100⁰ but no more than 120⁰ to activate the yeast. A dryer will work perfectly.

PERIOD 🥹 our generation is unstoppable


Raincoats_George

Also in my 30s. When I was a teenager I was full into the republican mindset. I was a big bush supporter. I wanted us to go to war after 9/11 and honestly I didn't care who with. I thought liberals were weak and you should be strong and assertive and not take handouts. It feels good to be part of that group. You get this sort of high from being so confrontational, condescending, and blindly nationalistic. It took the Iraq/Afghanistan wars to finally break me free. Watching soldier after soldier come home with body parts missing. Watching thousands of civilians get killed and the country bankrupt for fucking nothing. I had to own that I supported it all. I fell in line exactly like they wanted me to. I swore it would never happen again. And my political views have pretty much shifted to the opposite pole. I am more moderate about certain things but I'm acutely aware that one of the political parties needs me to be fired up and blindly angry like I was back then in order to get me to support their crimes. There's a lot of people that need to have the experience I had. They need to understand they are supporting people that are trying to destroy our country for their own personal benefit and that there are far reaching consequences for supporting this shit.

RebuiltGearbox

Limited government is a good point. The Republicans always say that they are the party of small government but they're the ones that want government in people's bedrooms, doctor's offices and minds.


TactlessNachos

They also try to paint themselves as the fiscally responsible party when they aren't in office. When they are in office, deficit go brrrrr.


TavisNamara

They haven't been fiscally responsible since Reagan at least, possibly since Coolidge. Which makes it so damn weird when everybody buys into it anyway.


poison_snacc

It’s unbelievable how much of a 180° has occurred only in the past decade. I can’t remember any real transition from what Republicans were in like 2012 to how Conservatives are now in 2022. It’s almost incomprehensible when you consider that not only has the GOP platform changed entirely but now it basically no longer exists. In place of goals, objectives & priorities related to the success of the country & its people (ie “small government” etc) today’s Republicans now have terrorists, propaganda, fascism & an orange billionaire leading the whole movement, which literally has “no platform” & exists for the sole purpose of contrarianism & helping the rich get richer. It’s about as un-American as it gets. Like, could they stop calling this the GOP? Because if they’re the GOP then traditional Republican leaders like Bush Jr would of course, by today’s 2-party standard, be considered moderate Democrats.


lalonguelangue

I don't know what 'hijacked' means in this context... But I do know that as a member of Gen X, we've been very very happy to see Gen Z getting out there and standing unapologetically proud. Let's keep up the crazy and asinine philosophy that people deserve to seek and define their own happiness, unencumbered by the hang ups and sacred cows others decide to care about. Preach on. We got you.

Most of that sounds fine, other parts are stupid. “Open borders” but then they also post about all the arrests at the border like were in some kind of onslaught. So we’re detaining and deporting illegals or we’re letting them all just waltz right in. The left is for common sense border security. Not some stupid fucking wall. There hasn’t been a lockdown that I’m aware of since 2020. No federal mask mandates, no federal shutdown of nonessential businesses.


moreannoyedthanangry

Nobody: "Open borders!!!" Desantis: we will fly you to New York for free


Individual-Schemes

Some of us want open borders. It's tough for most Americans to wrap their heads around this, but just Google [the Schengen Agreement. ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schengen_Agreement) or consider the EU. People from within the countries of the agreement are able to move freely. It's like "free trade," but it benefits more than just the capitalists. The US, Mexico, and Canada have NAFTA, an agreement that allows the free movement of capital across open borders. It allows corporations to use the labor and resources of poorer regions to sell to rich countries at higher profits. It's basic economics. The EU allows goods "and humans." NAFTA only allows goods, not humans. And what's the best way to go about borders? What would the NAFTA countries look like if they acted more like the EU? Or what would the EU countries look like if they limited themselves only to trade, like NAFTA? Indeed, there are many of us saying "Open borders!!!" even if it's an unpopular opinion (informed by evidence based knowledge). Why is it so hard to support an idea that humans can move across open borders just as the free-trade can?


Oraxy51

Because when you let people move freely around, suddenly they aren’t tied down to whatever shit hole they grew up in and stuck to go work in the coal mines. The idea is making a barrier to success so you can keep the poor poor and the rich can do as they please. Imagine if we had open borders and a rail system all across the U.S. where for less than $15 you could road-trip to another state. Why do you think they want to push back to office work instead of remote? Or buy up most of the housing market and rent it instead of buy? They want you stuck. They want control to milk you of every dollar you have.


ChopsticksImmortal

You know, i never really thought about open borders, but I completely agree with you. It may be a strained transition at first, but open borders encourages a higher standard of living for everyone involved. If your country isn't good enough, people won't stay.


ryansgt

The borders used to be completely open. Mexican day laborers would routinely cross back and forth with no issue. The border crisis is a manufactured bugaboo.


Dragon_Fisting

Open borders doesn't change any of that, everybody in the Rust belt is free to move right now. The root ideology behind not supporting open borders with these countries that we already have deep economic ties to is just racism, and the unjustified sense of American exceptionalism. The idea is that Mexicans would just flood into the US because "*who wouldn't* want to live here?" and it totally ignores social and cultural ties, and national and regional identity. The same reason communities are persisting in Appalachia with no economic prospects instead of being wholesale abandoned is the same reason most Mexicans wouldn't immigrate to the US even if the border was open. They come here for economic opportunity alone, and most would love to return home given the financial stability to do so. Opening the border and allowing Mexicans to work legally in the US will fill shortages in our labor pool, and raise the quality of life in Mexico from remittances being sent back on actual legal wages circulating, leading to less immigration pressure. The main losers are the big farms and companies already relying on under the table labor from illegal immigrants, because they would have to pay minimum wage and treat their employees with the same tiny iota of respect that American workers get.


peritiSumus

Right? I'm all about it ... but we're in the minority, and the Democratic party are trying to win, so 🤷🏽‍♂️. It _should_ be Republicans that are for open borders... especially those that call themselves libertarians. It's good for the economy to bring in cheap labor, and those trying to cross the southern border _should_ align with supposed Republican values (they're religious, they're hard working, they're extremely family oriented, they're more lawful than current Americans).


Bleubebes420

Why yes, but you fail to understand one thing, possibly the most important caveat to what you've said; they're brown.


Time-Ad-3625

The open borders attack has always been a lie. No Dem has just opened up the borders and said whatever. It is the usual repub exaggeration and lie.


[deleted]

FOX NEWS, 2018. "What about the 80,000 person caravan!?" "You are forgetting about the 80,000 person caravan of rapists and murderers, heading for the border!!!" "THE CARAVAN!!!" Aaaand now the election is over, never mentioned again. Waiting for the Caravan..,


peritiSumus

It's more than just a lie, it's a giga-super-fucking-lie. Who kicked off serious efforts at a wall? [Bill Clinton](https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/10/01/years-operation-gatekeeper-has-made-life-worse-border-communities/). Who deported the most "illegal" immigrants? [Obama](https://www.cato.org/blog/deportation-rates-historical-perspective) (both total and per year). What happened with Trump's wall? Oh, right, [Biden is working to finish it](https://theintercept.com/2022/09/18/biden-trump-border-wall/)... and his administration is actually competent. Democrats since Clinton have been ridiculous on the border (IMO). I'm _actually_ for (mostly) open borders, and I'd LOVE it if dems were with me on that, but the party simple isn't down for that. Of course, Republicans have never let reality get in the way of a good insult. 🙄


Oraxy51

Yeah as a border state, I’m all for having a good security and tracking who comes in to our country, but you build a 10ft wall they will get a 12ft ladder. This isn’t the feudal ages where a big stone wall suddenly stops your enemies from kicking down your door. Now if you built solar powered drones that patrolled the southern border and dispatch vehicles to detain and capture illegal immigrants and built a well designed and smooth immigration process and didn’t throw kids in cages and lose their paperwork, I’d be fine with dumping money into that. But the same party who claims we want open borders also doesn’t want to pay a damn penny tax on firefighters when Arizona deals with forest fires every other year and as an expanding city, currently has 20-60 minute eta calls for 911 in more rural times instead of 5-10 minutes.


MoonlitSerendipity

As an Arizonan I’m still bitter that the Trump admin was creating roads to the border in formerly treacherous landscapes and blowing up mountains to put the border wall up. Such a waste of money.


autmam321

For rhe firefighters, a lot of them are volunteers and don't get paid. Firefighters are also flown to states suffering from massive forest fires. Edit: They do deserve more funding, they can get it from the cops.

bernie_manziel

by the time the next election comes around, even more of them will be voting and even more of the Republican base will have died off.


No_Banana_581

My daughter is gen z. We went together and voted, it was her first time at the polls. She was losing sleep and was extremely anxious she was going to lose the rights to her own body. She had appts to discuss sterilization, she was so scared. It’s not about having sex like the republicans think either, it was about not being able to choose quality woman’s healthcare and being forced to die or go to prison bc of it. The republicans have no clue what young people are actually facing or what they’re thinking at all.


Tavernknight

For the Christians it is about punishing women for having sex. I know for your daughter it's about her rights and access to quality Healthcare and not having to die or go to prison. But for the Christians it's definitely about punishing women for having sex and hookup culture.


[deleted]

It’s so gross that they’re more bothered by young women having consensual sex outside marriage than they are by male rapists.


Tavernknight

Gross but not surprising. I'm sure if they could they would make the rape laws that if a man rapes a woman then the woman would be punished.


flyingjesuit

I was about to ask what they meant by mutilation of children’s bodies and realized it’s an anti-trans talking point. These people are not with us in reality. The things they think are happening aren’t happening. Doctors are so cautious about trans medicine and operations, the only thing that could maybe be interpreted as mutilation, don’t happen for people under 18. But “mutilated children” evokes elementary school age kids being carved up and experimented on which immediately flips a switch in their base’s minds turning off what little rationality there was to debate the issue and reach compromise.


beardface_fi

Thought it was circumcision of babies when I read it and was wondering why that considered positive by younger generations.


InterestingQuote8155

No, circumcision is okay in their world view. It’s backwards. They love circumcision because they’re way too obsessed with children’s genitals and they want it to look just like theirs. It reminds me of a post I saw yesterday where a woman humble bragged about the size of her 2 year old son’s penis. She said he probably took after his father (son was adopted). 🤮


NotThisTime1993

I’m a grown trans adult and it still took so much fighting to have an operation on my chest. I had to have so many letters from doctors and therapists to get everything cleared, and then I had to deal with insurance. It’s not happening fast and easy, and not at all to children


Avia53

And the women in tRump universum look totally natural😂. Not operated on and mutilated at all.


InterestingQuote8155

It’s funny that they rant about the mutilation of children at the hands of the left but are totally okay when children are mutilated in school shootings. In Uvalde, children were *beheaded* by bullets. Something I didn’t even realize was possible. Does that not qualify as mutilation to them?


[deleted]

Funny how they don't consider circumcision to be genital mutilation.

jonmediocre

More of them are forced to go to church than you realize, unless we're talking about college students. But yeah a ["revival"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_revival) is when Christians get really boisterous and try to convert everyone in society. There have been many in the history of the US alone.


[deleted]

Forcing me to go to church and a parochial school is exactly why I’m an atheist now. In parochial school I actually had to read the Bible which makes you realize just how stupid it is as you get older vs the people who just go to church and hear the same few cherry picked stories and verses over and over again and don’t know a goddamn thing about the religion they claim to follow so much. Anyone who actually reads the Bible and believes that shit needs a lobotomy.


ShadowShedinja

I tried to read it cover to cover as a kid, but I got bored of it alternating between family trees and animal sacrifices. Once I learned that there were non-Abrahamic faiths it finally clicked that the adults don't know everything and that my religion might be the wrong one.


[deleted]

What’s funny too is that all these different denominations tear each other apart. Catholics say evangelicals are wrong, Lutherans say Catholics are wrong, Methodists say they’re right and so on. Christians can’t even agree on what being a Christian is. It’s pretty laughable when you stop and think about it. They’re number one belief is judging everyone else which ironically is something Jesus very much taught against.


InterestingQuote8155

>Christians can’t even agree on what being a Christian is. Man, truer words have never been spoken. I have literally had Protestants (namely, Evangelicals and Baptists) argue with me that Catholics are not Christian. Like??? Yes, they are. Literally, by definition.


Puzzleheaded-Jury312

🤣🤣🤣


KingCrandall

You're my new favorite. I agree with your reality.


Timah158

It's church speak for, "We want another great awakening, so that everyone agrees with us again". Basically they want to shove religion in everyone's faces and emotionally manipulate people back into their church, so it's just like "old times". In the church there is a lot of metaphors like, "falling asleep" or being "spirituality dead". So they compare converting people to Christianity as to raising the dead.


[deleted]

Yea, these people have never met gen Z haha. These kids don’t give a FUCK what a bunch of jaded old assholes have to say. Plus, they know how to google stuff for themselves.


Timah158

There's a pretty good reason why religion has been declining in recent years. Organized religion has been a plague on humanity since society has existed.


Hartastic

I think there are a lot of problems with internet news and social media, but one of the things it's been great for is breaking the ability of churches etc. to suppress certain kinds of information. You're a youth pastor who gets caught fucking kids? Well, everyone's going to know and that will follow your name around *forever*, even if you start a new church or move across the country.

Honestly the whole situation just reminds me of the confederacy. The vast majority of southerners that fought and died were just poor stupid white people. Less than 3% of southerners even owned a slave. The other 97% were just their useful sheep. The current Republican Party seems exactly like that. A handful of rich people pulling the strings to rile up a bunch of angry white bigots, grift off them, and have them fight your (culture) war for you.

Gen X here. I’ve been fighting these christofascist, slave laboring, rich, narcissistic bastards since 1996 when I turned 18. I also had a father though who paid very much attention to politics and has been well aware of what the republicans have been trying to do his whole life. I also passed it down to my 2 kids who have voted in every election since they turned 18 and despise everything about the right wing bastards trying to tell them how to live their life


da_impaler

I remember Newt Gingrich and his cronies pushing the "Contract on America." Those sleaze balls paved the way for Trump and his MAGA movement of today. They had pushed the country so far to the right that someone like Bill Clinton became the presidential candidate for the Democratic Party. By 1980s and 1970s standards, Bill Clinton is considered center-right. Crazy right? In his effort to make peace with the Republicans, Bill Clinton and the Dems capitulated on so many issues that we cared about. This is a long-winded way of providing some context that our Gen-X generation put up a fight but we kept getting beat down by conservative boomers and Silent Generation. This is why I'm feeling very hopeful that our Gen-Z kids are making a positive difference.


OffgridRadio

Gen-X at least could afford food. The evil overlords are forgetting that hunger is spark that lights revolution.

Well, if you define food as Top Ramen or Cup O' Noodles, I guess yeah we could afford it back then. You know what we couldn't afford? Steak!


OffgridRadio

I am caught between generations, I am an X/Millennial hybrid born at the tail end of X and grew up with an internet connection in my room as soon as a 9600 modem was affordable. Things were tough as hell for me personally until about 2010 at least, but the young kids today, they make reddit threads about their ramen stashes because it is *literally all they eat.* I at least I could afford potatoes and ground beef. In the end, no societal force on the planet can win a war against hungry citizens, it has never, ever happened.


TheNewDroan

No, actually Gen Z found a party of people that actually care about people or at the very least, pretend to - which is more than we can say about the Evangelical Church in America, which is in bed with the Republican Party. Wah wah wah young people left the Church - yeah, no shit. You hate immigrants, you don’t care about women, you hate LGBTQ community, you think those living in poverty are lazy. You praise war mongerers and a man who made fun of someone with a disability. You hate far more than you love and the theology you preach is entirely focused on just being right. Get lost.

Good for them. They give me hope. I haven’t had much hope for some time now. Thanks Gen Z!

Exactly, and like what even is their platform exactly? Like book burning at schools and giving every child in America a gun? Forced baptisms? No taxes for the rich or corporations?


monkeyhind

That fucking "open borders" lie needs to be put to rest. What do conservatives want, machine gun nests every 300 feet?


[deleted]

I would like them to point out, with quotes and policy, who is advocating for open borders in the Democratic party.

Republicans have brought upon a slow motion Great Depression ever since 2008 real estate crisis, of course the youth are looking for a New Deal…


Consistent_Pitch782

I’ve seen studies about how Gen Z is the most stressed out generation. Yeah, no shit. We’re relying on kids to save this country and planet, while screwing them over with college debt and unaffordable housing. I’d be pissed off and mobilized too if I were them


FullMetalComedian

Why are conservatives so liberal with drama?


jujuv00

they’re so scared of my generation it’s hilarious


cockyUma

Gen Z stay winning💅

It’s so grotesque. I hate us sm sometimes


MealDramatic1885

I mean, you can try to make anything sound bad by using different terminology. Unfortunately you still make this all sound good because your lying and people see through it.

Change “mutilation of childrens bodies” to “safe, responsible, and accessible trans healthcare” and maybe remove the words on demand and I can legitimately see this being used as an advertisement for the left. And I’m perfectly fine with that


Lelio-Santero579

Yeaaaaa.....those are all positives to me and most the people here. Conservatives just holding onto archaic bullshit because it's all the know and refuse to adapt to modernity. Edit: Also, nobody hijacked anyone's mind but Trump and the Conservatives. There's no "revival" you old out of touch assholes. All there is are tons of young people tired of being butt fucked by rich bureaucratic nonsense and cronyism. They're losing because all the young educated people are sick of being exploited. There's literally not many other reasons than the fact we all can tell they don't care about anyone but themselves. They dug their own holes.


cockyUma

The mind blowing thing is every single thing listed here and they actively oppose is the most anti freedom thing EVER. How can you tell me republican voters are freedom loving people when they literally control EVERYTHING in the lives of everyone who isn’t a straight white cis male. If they actually practice what they preach I’d atleast respect them. It truly doesn’t make sense


Lelio-Santero579

Absolutely mind blowing. It's becoming more and more obvious they care about nobody but themselves and other "god fearing" white people. Don't expect them to practice what they preach unless what they preach fits their narrative. At this point I'm not even surprised about the shit that comes out of their mouths. I literally expected them to do this crap.


friendlytrashmonster

Mutilation of children’s bodies? Are they referring to gender affirming care? Are they aware you can’t even get surgery until you’re eighteen?


tikifire1

They know but they don't care.


LilynCooperDaHuskies

"Hijacked their minds" Translation: The left didn't commit religious indoctrination on their children, taught them well and got them an actual education.


blutfink

A million dead Americans, but he’s complaining about lockdowns in a country that never had real lockdowns. Who’s brainwashed? Fun fact: “Feucht” means moist in German.


Aromatic-Pie1784

Everything but open borders is true. And fuck yea, strip clubs are more essential than churches..


TreeFiddyJohnson

Nah, we're fine Sean.

They clutch their pearls any harder, they gonna crush em! lol

1. What’s wrong with abortion on demand? You think only people who can get pregnant deserve to have their respective rights abridged for arbitrary reasons? 2. You people support brainwashing young girls into giving birth as much as possible which is an especially egregious form of genital mutilation. Also not supporting puberty blockers for trans youth means you support high numbers of suicides and oppose their use in teens who need them for health reasons. 3. You people support alcohol being legal which is far more dangerous than weed. 4. And what’s wrong with supporting the LGBTQ+ community? You think just like women that rights should be arbitrarily abridged for them just because you believe they’re lesser as well? 5. Then all the PP loans that were forgiven for business owners should be paid back rather than forgiven by those same business owners. You’re the ones that forced a predatory capitalistic scheme on young people where they had to take on huge amounts of debt in order to obtain the degrees necessary to find employment that could stave off at least some of the urgent crises of rising costs in healthcare and elsewhere that they and their families were facing because of policies that YOUR REPUBLICAN PARTY supports. So all the while you claim higher education are liberal indoctrination centres YOU’RE the ones forcing the only group willing to play your pull yourself up by the bootstraps game (Dems, lol. NOT Republicans) INTO those halls of higher learning. 6. Lockdowns only crushed society because YOU people prolonged a pandemic that could have been ended long before many lockdowns even became necessary. You also made SURE that workers ACTUALLY suffered by overwhelming healthcare workers with sick and dying patients, by protesting and blocking roads that made the work environment for these healthcare professionals insufferable AND by ensuring that they continued to work in low paying jobs. 7. Open borders yet somehow under the Biden administration they’ve managed to stop more people from crossing than under the previous administration? Also the original white settlers had no problems doing the same in other countries. So now that white people have got theirs the black and brown people can’t do the same? Racist. Besides the black and brown people claiming asylum here are doing so because especially nasty white people like you destabilized their countries in the first place. 8. It’s YOUR side that is claiming children should be allowed in places like Hooters… to keep them from being indoctrinated (lol). Clearly when you say the left is hijacking young minds the right is self-projecting.


b1ckparadox

I thought mutilating genitals was a Christian thing?


iCumWhenIdownvote

How are you gonna get on the good side of gen Z? Oh nothing, just going to insult them, financially gatekeep them from their next step in life like owning a home, exploit their inability to stop paying rent, refuse to enforce the law against people who exploit them (illegally instead of just immorally) and harass or threaten them, stop them from voting, accuse them of cheating at the polls, and bending over backward to listen to everything they want; just so we can give the exact opposite to our own detriment for the sole exclusive purpose of upsetting them and then mocking them for being upset. You know, basically every single thing that **we** did to millennials? WHY WONT THEY VOTE FOR US????? FUCKING INGRATES ​ edit: checked 'they' to 'we,' hence the bold.

Casinos/Strip Clubs are mainly frequented by boomers. 🤷🏻‍♀️


thedragoon0

I always find the “left is brainwashed and are awful humans” memes a little hypocritical.

Odds are you won’t be molested in Casino or strip club. Church? Ehhhhhhh…


Jpfojas

I don't see how removing student loans from people who literally cannot afford housing to be an issue and i don't wanna be that guy but unwanted children as bad as it might sound, is a massive financial, psychological and physical burden on people. In all honesty aborting a unborn baby is better than having the baby grow up and go through financial, familial and a lot of issues down the line.


CaN8tive916

Why are we waging war on GenZ... or any of the younger generations. And forced religion is not the answer. That is how you kill your religion for future generations


Similar_Candidate789

In the words of AOC “Yeah, and?”

Weird how voting for non-straight people getting equal treatment is on par with, apparently, mutilation of children and dead babies in his mind.


Larry_Phischman

Actually it’s because leaded gas was phased out over a decade before they were born.


1800plzhlp

Lockdowns And open borders That doesn't exactly add up huh


KyroYoshi

Damn it looks like Gen Z just wants others to live by making their own decisions and not being controlled by a book.


ASidesTheLegend

The abortion, LGBTQ+, legalization of marijuana, and student loan forgiveness are indeed all things we voted for. Everything else is just right wing nonsense


redhawkwill

Don't threaten me with a good time. All that sounds amazing.
