I hear your point and I think about that a lot, actually. Yes, what I said above was pithy and judgmental, but I also think it has a vein of truth in it.
I’ve dropped friends over their support for Trump, precisely because they fail to see what I deem to be obvious character flaws in him. That they can’t see those flaws speaks to an enormous lack of psychological perceptiveness. Can they realize they made a mistake in voting for him? I think they can regret it when the things he does negatively affect them, but that doesn’t mean their ability to judge character improves. What I meant by my statement above is that my confidence in people with such critical problems in empathy to fix those problems is extremely low.
I hope that more extensive explanation of my point makes it clear I’m not simply dismissing an entire class of people under a stereotype. I genuinely think supporting Trump speaks to a severe problem in psychological appraisal that is not easily rectified.
Yeah, GenZ complaints have become the new “millennials are so lazy, they should just buy a house.” GenZ have graduated with their masters degrees and are in the same boat that millennials were in 20 years ago.
Sorry, but anyone dumb enough to vote for Donald Trump after witnessing his first term is too stupid to learn from their mistakes.
Sweeping generalizations aren’t true and don’t help.

Can’t blame gen z too much since they were probably learning how to not wet themselves when Trump was first in office
I know this is hyperbole, but just to remind anyone who needs it, there are married gen z people with children.
