Ok, well you have a different social life than me. The liberals I know range in age from 20-65, and I meet them in real life through work, family, or other mutual acquaintances. Most of them are White, but they claim race (the White race, they mean) isn't real and immigrants are humans just like everyone else and refusing to help them is cruel, etc.
Their world views were formed when the problems were less life destroying, many of them have the luxury of knowing their death is near anyway, and real life social interactions are always higher risk because it's more likely to lead to loss of employment or being cut out of your family so everyone is only willing to speak the most milquetoast of thoughts IRL.
That's why I view anonymity as essential to the ability to speak freely and honestly. Without anonymity everyone filters their speech to be as low risk as possible, to the point that I'm evasive when asked about my hobbies it's all incredibly nerdy, niche and very autistic.
You can't take anything people say in person as being anything more than a façade of how they want to be viewed.
Yes, but I suspect the ones that are openly woke are being sincere. They express these views around people that they know are conservative, so they know some of the people in our circle disagree with what they say. Someone who secretly harbors conservative opinions would more likely just stay quiet rather than blow up the group chat with their rants about Trump and ICE.
Also, older people have more firsthand experience of how political policies affect our society, whereas teenagers, particularly ones who have never had to work a job or pay rent or mortgage, usually just echo whatever opinions appear to be trendy in their social circles. Younger people who are socially isolated and have a nerdy disposition tend to have much more controversial politics, however, because they spend a lot of time online and are already disillusioned with mainstream culture.
You'd think that but opposition to Trump and ICE tactics aren't inherently a statement in favor of immigration. They aren't making a dent, new violations are happening, and more are being forced on us legally anyway.
At one time maybe, but white kids are terrorized from birth by the racial jungle they're forced to grow up in now, there is no greater radicalizing influence than exposure. That said trying to get a job is where they typically go from more joking racism to actually wanting total nigger/pajeet/muslim/chink death as they realize their future has been completely stolen from them and their lives are oven before they start.
Well that's the modern white experience. Of course we're socially isolated when we're a minority surrounded by violent invaders who are all regularly having their hatred of us reinforced, it's suicide to try to engage socially as a young white kid these days and much safer to stay online.
I wish that was their actual criticism, but no, their rants are not "Trump isn't doing enough" but rather "this is fascism!".
As for the younger generation, I think that alienation is probably why I've been hearing that Gen Z will be more conservative than their parents. The girls probably won't flip as easily for obvious reasons, but today's young White males could become the most anti-woke group of them all.
