If you follow worldwide trends, this actually matches anyways. It’s the youths that are voting far right the most, to the point that the occasional neo-nazi groups are almost entirely supported purely by the local youths.
BTW, I’m not blaming them for being frustrated and going to the extremes. These last two decades have been bad, and there’s little hope of it getting much better for the next decade either. Especially with how vocal the left has been lately, it’s no surprise that the youth that wants change would vote the exact opposite of those that have been yelling in their ears all their lives.
GenZ voting right is entirely the fault of the left. There hasn’t been a major rational voice in the left for so long, that the unheard right now sounds attractive for no more than being different.
The same implosion in young, urban support happened in the US for the Democrats, and for the same reason: millenials and zoomers are tired of being sucked dry for the comfort of Boomer and elder-X’ers housing-based retirement fund.
Want to fix this? Forgive student debt and actually put shovels in the ground for housing (not “accelerator funds”, not tax breaks, not low-interest loans to developers: fucking buy equipment, pay people, and build shit)
I’m a millennial trans woman who sometimes fucks cishet Gen Z men I feel that’s pretty much spot on in my observation
There’s basically two generations of Gen Z: those who were adults pre-pandemic and take after millennials & those who were not.
The ones who came of age in the pandemic have a lot more hangups about social interaction, have consumed a lot more misinformation, and generally have baggage about being criticized for their (admittedly shitty and ignorant) views they’ve clearly been fed by the algorithm and their friends
These guys ARE NOT bad people but they caught serious brain rot during the pandemic and it’s gonna take time/empathy for them to fully recover. It does not help that there’s a certain type of moral superiority to millennial activism that they clearly are reacting to
The breakdown by age group is EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE of what I expected to see… makes no sense! Don’t blame GenX and Boomers for our future problems…
Blaming everything on “teh boomers” has always been a lazy and inaccurate meme.
Especially when Young Conservatives (and Young Republicans) has been an active organization.

Housing, housing, housing FUCKING HOUSING.
This. A thousand times this.

Agreed, but let’s not forget which party (in the US) was trying to do that, and which one was actively blocking it.
And which Canadian party would be more likely to do it here. (Hint: it ain’t the conservatives)
It makes perfect sense if you’ve spent any time examining what’s being fed to people on YouTube and TikTok
