Gen Z is as liberal as millennials, if not more
whites will no longer be the majority come 2050. aoc, warren, and omar are wildly popular with young people. there isn't going to be some massive conservative revolution.

There's your problem.
Gen Z will be more libertarian, not progressive. They'll be fiscally conservative and socially not giving a shite.
Progressives are the authoritarian wing of the Democrat party. They're pushing liberals out.

Ah, yes. "The Gild" in the UK is so much more reputable than Pew.

Anti government is one hell of a start.

Not progressive.
Anti government/anti authoritarian is libertarian. It would take a real retard to think anti government is progressive.

I think that's more anti social than anti government

Maybe you should go to college and find out. It might help you shorten this post to a few sentences instead of all this lagniappe

It's weird how "educated and intelligent people" are terrified of individualism and ignorant of economics and civics.

Conservative? That’s just racist.

Intelligent and educated people =\= politically intelligent people. They’re just educated in their specific field presumably.
Eta; A lot of students are swayed by their professors. At that point it depends on your field of study and what school you’re going to. My point still holds true but this is more of an answer for the OP.

I'm not one, child. My hope is every potential child you would have is eradicated before it's cognizant of the world.
But again, you think "progressive" means anti government
The younger generations are ignorant of history and civics, as well as economics and that probably explains "progressivism" which is a cult.

Previous surveys have found that, in general, college does not bring students up to a high level of civics knowledge. According to the institute's 2008 report, based on a survey of 2,500, people whose highest level of educational attainment was a bachelor's degree correctly answered 57 percent of the questions, on average. That is three percentage points lower than a passing grade, according to the survey's authors.
Even earlier surveys showed that years in college were only slightly correlated to civics expertise. For a 2006 report the institute surveyed 14,000 college freshmen and seniors on basic civics questions. It found seniors answered an average of 53 percent of the questions correctly, just 1.5 percent higher than freshmen
"Governments don't want a population capable of critical thinking, they want obedient workers, people just smart enough to run the machines and just dumb enough to passively accept their situation.You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own, and control the corporations. They've long since bought, and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies, so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear"
