I get so confused with people portraying Gen Z as these radical socialists when time after time voting shows they are anything but. Especially Gen Z men as a group are extremely conservative. At least in the US.
More conservative than in the past, but so is the whole country (by votes- most Americans don't vote). Compared to other age groups though, gen z voted less conservative (unless you consider that Harris is basically a conservative)
how does the word "conservative" mean the same thing from generation to generation if the issues important to conservatives change every generation? I'm asking about the term, not the politics

I didn't mean to imply that Gen Z is less conservative than older generations. A pretty low bar to pass under lol

Ah, oki
Keep in mind that those numbers are always going to be off from reality. Also it will vary heavily by state.
