    I have been saying for the past 6 - 8 years that Gen Z is the future, they are different, they are compassionate, etc. My opinion changed on that Tuesday in a bad way.

            Maybe they bought into Kamala’s messaging that Trump had no chance and that even Republicans hated him. No point turning up if its as good as won.
