Another topic that @jerusalem.bsky.social & @draliceevans.bsky.social spoke about was young men feeling that young women are taking away their opportunities because they're better educated. The data on this does not really bear out, I think it's more about the narrative on this rather than reality.

Young people are diverse in their attitudes about climate. 4 in 10 youth have "untapped potential": they believe they can have influence on the issue (through elected officials and other decision-makers) but currently take little action. How can we get them engaged? #climate https://buff.ly/3GNrIuS

41% of young people (18-29) lean Republican or identify as Republican, the highest since 2003, when 43% of youth identified this way. This is from a trendline from Gallup that stretches back to 1999.
