Yes, and they were drifting slowly rightward the same as previous generations. However, during the first Trump administration, they rocketed like 20 points leftward and quit drifting right for several years.

This is why the Gen Z swing towards Trump was alarming, but he's handled having power so stupidly that it's basically over. Trump 1 made millennials politically more left than anything we've ever seen, I think Trump 2 will do the same to Gen Z

theflyingorc.bsky.social (@theflyingorc.bsky.social) reply parent
Therefore, as there are 100s of rivers in the US, *most years* there should be multiple "100 year floods" The data above is alarming because we're seeing 50% more than we're supposed to, not because we're seeing like 30-50 times more than we're supposed to. Its still bad, but the term has meaning!
theflyingorc.bsky.social (@theflyingorc.bsky.social) reply parent
ARGH This is what you don't understand A "100 year flood" is the likelihood of it occurring at a given location. It isn't "there should only be one of these in the United States every hundred years" it is "this specific river should only flood once every 100 years".
theflyingorc.bsky.social (@theflyingorc.bsky.social) reply parent
That is in no way what "hundred year events" is being used for, except in this specific instance. It's primarily for things like the insurance industry.

theflyingorc.bsky.social (@theflyingorc.bsky.social) reply parent
That's not how any of this works. There should be many, many "100 year events" every single year. It's the likelihood of *this specific event* happening, not of AN event happening.
