    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)

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