Talk:Scenario: Life in the 2020s/@comment-31417419-20181116100241

This is an absurd article. It's indeed very imaginative, as I think we should all encourage for the Future, but not the most plausible. This predicts a 'new conservative wave', as I would call it, in the 2020s. Really?

The Millenials are taking power in the U.S Congress. With an air of distaste for the modern Republican party, we've seen what they can do in the midterms (the midterms). Gen Z is not at voting age yet, and from what little we've seen (which is much of the generation's complete immaturity on the internet), we have no discernible way of predicting who they will vote for.

Gen Z may be more conservative than the millenial generation, but they're definitely not conservative enough to go Republican. Perhaps the Libertarians will get a boost. Fundamentally, at the voting booths, where all of this matters, in an era of relative economic prosperity, Gen Z has no motivation to vote except for their more liberal counterparts. Few members of Gen Z will vote for future Republicans because fewer members of Gen Z will vote in general.

I laud this article for being comprehensive and relatively fun. While I dismiss its plausibility, it is a rather interesting read. And I think, regardless of whether or not the future is liberal or conservative, this is the kind of article we should promote here on the wiki. Comprehensive and interesting.
