Turning Point founder and CEO Charlie Kirk shared a post on X Wednesday detailing how Gen Z is not participating in the allegedly paid-for protests occurring across the country.
“They were told college was the only way to succeed. LIE,” Kirk posted. “They were told they’d never own a home and like it. LIE. Young men were told they were toxic. LIE. Young women were told to be childless boss babes to be happy. LIE.”
His comments come after several ongoing weeks of what appear to be paid-for protests happening across the country. Most of the protests are aimed at President Donald Trump and DOGE’s Elon Musk, who’ve uncovered huge amounts of normalized government waste and corruption, culminating in most of the major issues we’re facing today. The protests were organized by a group that calls themselves pro-democracy and favors progressive ideologies, but as the American people legally democratically voted to elected Trump and his cabinet, it is still unclear what these people think they’re protesting.
Why Gen Z Doesn’t Care About The Progressive Movements
“They are part of a generation that has been demonized by older generations that sold them out, belittled them, and borrowed off their backs. Their parents and grandparents inherited a rich, powerful America only to hand them a weakened, debt-riddled country, divided over gender, race, class and every other abstraction invented in a university they graduated from with no debt but now costs $75,000 a year plus interest. They were told to downsize the American Dream or abandon it altogether,” Kirk explained in his post.
“Wave after new wave of young people are rejecting the lies of the Boomer left. They’re choosing a rebirth of freedom and opportunity. I see it with my own eyes every week on college campuses across America. The kids are waking up.”
