So it's only the 25 and older group that's sort of dragging down the numbers and showing that Donald Trump lost the under 30 vote. But actually, the younger you get, the more right-wing and pro-Trump you get. Really fascinating stuff. One recent CBS poll found that Americans under 30 weren't evenly split between the parties. They were actually more pro-Trump than boomers over 65.
So they're saying that Gen Z is actually more right-wing than people over 65, which is an incredible statistic. And meanwhile, a 2024 analysis of Americans under 30 found the lowest levels of confidence in most public institutions since the survey began. So in the last decade alone, young Americans' trust in the president has also declined by 60% while their trust in the Supreme Court
Wall Street and Congress has declined by more than 30%. So no trust in our institutions. They're trending rightward. What is going on? And the author theorizes, I think correctly, the pandemic played a huge role in this shift. Like I said, I agree. And yet nowhere in this article does the author attribute that distrust to our government lying to us.
He just doesn't acknowledge it, doesn't talk about it. He says, yeah, it's probably the pandemic, but also we're not going to talk about why people wouldn't trust their institutions after COVID-19. And you're seeing a lot of these articles pop up where Democrats want to diagnose why they're failing, why they're losing young people, but they don't want to authentically own up to their own mistakes.
Here's what the author writes. One cross-country analysis published by the Systemic Risk Center at the London School of Economics found that people who experience epidemics between the ages of 18 and 25 have less confidence in their scientific and political leadership. This loss of trust persists for years, even decades, in part because political ideology tends to solidify in a person's 20s.
That's it. That's all we get. He cites a study, but doesn't dissect the why. Why is it that pandemics just make people distrust the government?
Or did the government repeatedly lie to and gas at the public about everything from mass vaccines, the virus origin, weaponized mass censorship and social pressure, violated bodily autonomy, got people fired and expelled for noncompliance during those years?
It's like, yeah, we heard that pandemics can have this effect on people, but then they don't talk about, well, why would it have that effect on people? It's like, look what just happened. But there's no acknowledgement of that in the article. And I think this is actually the same issue with artificial intelligence.
reproductive technologies like IVF, it's completely avoiding the central issue, which in IVF's case is infertility. It skips curing the underlying issue and instead just works around it. And like I said, there's a spiritual element to this too. How much of the changing political landscape is a result of a thirst for spiritual fulfillment? No one's going to
accuse the 70s of being super respectful. But compared to what Hollywood is doing now, 1973 Jesus Christ Superstar could have been produced by St. Paul himself. To truly grasp the weight of the shift we're seeing, it's essential to recognize that we're not just dealing with policy changes or ideological battles.
We are witnessing a deep moral and spiritual crisis and awakening of the people who are recognizing the crisis. Whether it's the ethics surrounding IVF, the government's handling of the pandemic, or the attempts to distort sacred traditions like the portrayal of Jesus Christ, we're constantly asking moral questions of ourselves as a society.
And this political transformation is more than political. It is really, truly existential. The obsession with technological fixes to deep-rooted human issues like infertility demonstrates a detachment from the natural and moral order.
The same forces that distill life into a transaction or use religious authority for woke social commentary are the ones that disconnect us from a deeper understanding and purpose. And as the pandemic shifted young people's political leanings, it also presented them with an opportunity to redefine what they stand for. What is Gen Z? What are we for? What are we about?
What kind of society do we want to build? The generations that lived through disorienting years saw firsthand how easily the truth was bent and how our institutions lied to us, lied to our faces.
And I think the next generation is going to continue to experience a great cultural battle that won't just be fought in Congress or in protest on the streets, but in the hearts of each individual in this country, trying to make sense of the world that we've inherited. And I think that is something to be really, really optimistic about. And that's all I have for you guys today.
