Good News: Here Comes Gen Z

 

I have been seeing this trend through my own child and her friends who are Gen Z. Extremely practical, level-headed, hard-working youngsters who scoff at political correctness. They aren’t ‘conservative’ in the classic sense, but they lean in that direction, mainly because they’ve seen through the absurdity of today’s leftist ideals and attempts at radical social reform.

Teenagers rebel. They usually find a weakness in the arguments their parents and teachers make. Because of rapid changes, parents and teachers are more out of touch, advising them to play by the old, outdated rule books. Or to abide by the political priorities and remedies they themselves believed most effective.

Generation Z seems to be rebelling against left-wing excess. Part of the ‘rebellious’ behavior is simply ignoring them, working hard, and not looking to others (government) to solve their problems.

As a side note, I’m seeing young YouTube commentators who can run rings around professionals on major networks, this impressive young man being one of them.

    In sum, we’re doomed.

    Why?

    Because we’ve got a bunch of knucklehead kids who know doodley and squat about how the world works that think they’re ready to assume the reins of national leadership.

    My retired-mil-chaplain pastor often says he’s glad he supposes he won’t live long enough to see them fully take the helm…Me, too.

    Those apples didn’t fall far from the tree. Sounds like this doom has been happening for a while.
