Only if they voted for Trump. Many didn't. This election saw a lot more young people, especially men, move to the Republicans. In fact if you want to blame a specific demographic then blame men.
-
I dont want to blame a specific demographic because that would be a stupid thing to do
-
I blame the non voters.
When more people vote Democrats tend to win.
-
If everyone voted the Republican party wouldn't exist.

I think the blame rest solely on the 78 million people or so that showed up to vote for Donald Trump. And maybe the 40 million or so people that didn’t show up to vote at all.
-
You can double that second figure.

"How Many People Didn’t Vote?
Close to 90 million.
According to data from the University of Florida Election Lab, approximately 245 million Americans were eligible to vote in the 2024 general election...
preliminary election data shows about 155 million ballots were cast. This would mean an estimated 89 million Americans, or about 36% of the country’s voting-eligible population, did not vote in the 2024 general election."

Yeah it's definitely not the system that prevents those people from learning critical thinking skills and encourages them to vote explicitly against their own interests, pitting them against each other as they work themselves to death
Blaming the death cult of capitalism 🚫
Victim blaming 👍
-
Is this system here in this room with us now?
-
You're not the victim. We paid for 12 years of your schooling and you shit the bed in Math, history, critical thinking, and most importantly Civic duty. Since we our way past acknowledging our individual civic duty to protect democracy I say....
COMMUNIST REVOLUTION WEN?

Lol. Do you assume that shit about everyone you talk to or just people who disagree with you
Edited to add: this schooling? 12 years of this? Thanks a LOT 🖕 https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2017/02/15/u-s-students-internationally-math-science/
Edit 2: super thanks for this BTW love your work on this https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/school-shootings-by-country
Edit 3: i didn't even claim to be the victim, although I certainly am a victim of capitalism as someone with multiple disabilities that are almost certainly caused by environmental factors present as a result of the unending evil behavior from corporations (including the USG) and many other problems that are inflicted upon me by these systems including artificial scarcity and my rights being whittled down year after year. The victims I was saying you're blaming are the ~120 million people you explicitly blamed for what is being done to our country and our population and the rest of the world by a few extremely rich and powerful assholes, most of which are almost certainly not responsible for any appreciable fraction of harm being done (relative to what is happening at a massive scale) right before our eyes by those same assholes. By the way, since you're so upset about what's happening (according to what you're saying) what are you doing to counter it? I'm sure it's more than just spreading your garbage takes on Lemmy right?

Yet even more GenZ men just didn't vote because they hated both options
-
Bit of a tactical blunder, that.
-
I'm sure they'll be quick to blame "boomers" for it, though.
