18 to 21 is a pretty small bracket, so it might just be variance. But I wouldn't sleep on the possibility that zoomers are disproportionately fascist

Tbh I would love to know if similar effects (though maybe not as strong) are present in other polls in the spring semester a new president takes office.

Zoomers are disproportionately fascist but in my personal experience is that this feels driven by the average right wing zoomer being way harder right.

Delete that “in”. Damn my inability to proofread on microblogging platforms.

There's fewer young Republicans. But, if you're a young Republican, you're now a straight-up nazi.

Bearing in mind that a 21 year old was 11 when Trump came down the escalator, and 16 when Covid hit. There's no memories of the world before there. Not that the rest of the under 30s *do* have them. But 18-21s first elections were '22 and '24. Those older than them (and under 30) were '14‐'20.

The 18-21 demo is people born in 2003-2007. The oldest members of that demo were just starting middle school when Trump got elected.

They’re probably the first American generation since WW2 to be more exposed to pro-fascist content than anti-fascist content, so that’d make sense.

Incel manosphere (Fuentes, the Tates) content definitely played a role for sure
