The reason the suburbs (especially in the sunbelt) are trending so fast is because of generational turnover so no
This would be true if Gen Z was a liberal generation like Millenials, but they aren't. High Schoolers nowadays are much more conservative on social and fiscal issues, and protectionist on economic issues, in contrast to millenials.
*But muh March For Our Lives!*
Gun control is one issue and doesn't really correlate to any other issues. Gen Z generally supports background checks and raising major weapon ownership legality from 18 to 21+. Assault weapon bans are viewed favorably by a slim majority of high and middle schoolers, but they aren't going to vote dem on one issue. The data is already showing the trends.
Overall Gen Z is pretty pessimistic about politics, but the generation is lean R and this is coming from a Gen Z person.
Umm no, I am also of Gen Z, and most of the friends at school are hardcore liberals. Young people are always extremely liberal and change as they get older, for the next 10 years, Gen Z will vote 80-20 Dem, once they get settled, people tend to trend conservative, and as seniors, most people are conservative, but there are liberal seniors
This theory has been mostly discredited. However you vote at 25 is generally how you'll vote for the rest of your life. Some people may switch, but they are the exception. What my happen is that the political center of the country moves left or right and then people are judged relative to that center, but there's little chance that a given liberal will become a conservative in their old age or vice versa.
As for Gen Z being liberal, however, you are most certainly correct.
