Half of Gen Z voters — and 1 in 4 U.S. voters overall — have lied to people close to them about who they’re voting for, according to the latest Axios Vibes survey by The Harris Poll.

The findings raise big questions about the limits and future of polling, which relies on voters giving responses reflecting their real-life political behavior.

    There are a lot of ignorant gen-z men with a victim complex and a TikTok account that are closet fascists and follow right wing propaganda targeted towards a younger audience. They might not want to admit that they are pathetic losers to their friends and family.

        Unfoetunately fascists form communities, so they do have friends. That’s why it’s so hard to get through to them.

          IMO they have fellow fascists, until they make a mistake and find how shallow the relationship is. I find it hard to imagine people choosing hatred over skin color will stick around if a relationship starts taking any effort.

      Yeah, I’m prepared to be extremely disappointed by my fellow men (particularly young, white men), next week.

      Sad state of affairs.

      I hope that the women-folk can drag us into modernity, kicking and screaming.

      (Is it ok to say “women-folk”?)
