What the Results of the 2024 Election Taught Us about Ourselves

Perhaps it’s easiest to identify what American voters do not value: truth vs. lies, knowledge vs. ignorance, rule of law, fair treatment of minority groups, environmental sustainability, and democracy.

It would be comforting to think that the outcome of this election was a one-off fluke, but all reason suggests the precise opposite.  As Gen Z (and whatever follows it) comes to represent an ever-increasing portion of the electorate, we can only expect more selfishness, less literacy, more apathy, and a diminished capacity for critical thinking.
