Incorrect, the latest studies are showing gen z males are surprisingly more right leaning politically than previous generations
FIFY

One constant across all younger generations is that females are left-leaning feminists overall.

Go woke go broke only applies to companies and brands that attract older conservatives (like Bud Light)

Companies that appeal to younger people don’t have this level of pushback.

Even the NFL is booming.

You’ll get downvoted but you’re correct. Us older people are phasing out and today’s youth will take over and they are largely left leaning. Is what it is.


Of course I got downvoted because it’s a tough pill to swallow. But it’s always been that way. Back in the 90s, it was my generation’s time. Whatever culture and value we had back then, it was reflected in politics, entertainment, music, art, communication.

If you live, hoping the world is the same as it is 30 years ago, you’re going to miss out on how life is constantly changing for better or worse.

The reaction to Covid should tell you everything you need to know about this country and where it’s going.

don’t believe there is a large segment of individuals that don’t have internet but do have a smart phone and using to play on Facebook. More than likely there are fake users being created in order to boost numbers to increase ad revenue.


I’m sure there are fake users, that’s a given, but two thirds of the world does have internet. WhatsApp is also extremely popular outside of the US and is often the messaging platform of choice.

Regardless, even in a sea of bots, Meta reigns supreme. Advertisers don’t seem to care.

Most liberals on the whole aren’t having children. Conservatives tend to have more children and larger families.

Please tell me you are joking?

More conservatives get married and start families. But you don't need to do those things to shite out a buncha kids

Nobody under 40 uses FB anymore at least in the US. It’s a dying app


Literally a dying app - how many dead people are among the stated number of users? I can probably name several.

They count active users, not just every profile that’s ever signed up.

The Democrat Super Pac has bought $250 million in advertising. Most likely you'll see it on all the Meta platforms soon.

On a local level many restaurants, bars and businesses have had to close because they drove off their customers with overt political rhetoric.


Name them for me.

Most places that have closed down that come to mind in Lafayette were only a surprise in that they were open for so long. A lot of marginal places limped through COVID-19 and never really recovered.

Eating out has gotten very expensive, so some of it is about that.

Several local places were a casualty of aging owners whose kids didn't want to deal with a fickle public and the huge amount of time a smaller family restaurant takes to keep going.

I may be missing a place that lost customers because of a political stance. Places lose customers because they provide a subpar product or service relative to the competition., location, and trying to provide something people are not really interested in buying (that can be a timing issue, either too early or too late to the table).

Don't get me wrong, I think it is usually a bad idea to take a very strong political stand for a business that serves the general public. Know your customer base and be particularly cautious about jumping on the cause de jour.

Meta owns WhatsApp. WhatsApp is the most used app in the world. Facebook itself is still dying.
