Which is why more of you voted for Trump than in the past election?
"In the 2024 election, there was a distinct shift among people ages 18-29 towards Trump, especially in men. Fifty-six percent of young men were in favor of the former President in 2024, compared to only 41% in 2020."

At least previous generations waited until middle age before turning hard right. (The I got mine vote screw everyone else vote.)
So... you've quoted that both Gen X and Gen Z voted more for Trump than last time. Perhaps the issue isn't specific generations, but a larger turn out for Trump across most demographics?
Or you can always keep looking for reasons to get upset at strangers you don't know for demographics they belong to that they can't control. Very bold. We'll have to see what the crowd thinks when it hits the fashion runway in Paris.
My point was it isn't a Gen X, Y or Z thing.
Kids thinking they're better than Boomers are deluding themselves. We have the proof it's getting worse, not better.
Who's making it worse? Was it the boomers who skyrocketed the price of everything, deadlocked the political system in the country so no change to the status quo could be made, or is it the youth who are misguided by those who should be their protectors?
I think you'll find less misogyny, body shaming, and entitlement among the youth either way.
Boomers are a minority of voters. They caused problems but now everyone else is to blame for continuing them and making them worse.
As to misogyny, the world is on a clear backwards slide. Nor did boomers invent body shaming because they were the ones that normalized morbid obesity. The generation before boomers were not as fat.

Rising Nazism isn't limited to the US.
And yet, you only mentioned the American Elections and not any other election on the world.
