Not everyone is lucky enough to know a five year old, so I wrote a little bit about them for you after tucking mine into bed.
Let me tell you some things about five year olds They're so capable Of scrambling eggs, with help to light the stove Of playing a board game with basic strategy Of getting dressed by themselves. They ask hard questions What is a weapon? What does "the government" mean? Why are those people holding signs? They're brave About the dentist About walking alone to a neighbor's house About swimming without a floatie They giggle At nonsense songs At feigned bodily noises At knock-knock jokes They giggle At nonsense songs At feigned bodily noises At knock-knock jokes They can read three letter words Cat Dig ICE They love Backpack key chains Tiny treasures Light-up rain boots They have outgrown Being rocked to sleep (but not back rubs and snuggles) Wraps, carriers, backpacks (but not the occasional piggy back) Crying about putting on shoes (but not about missing a birthday party) They cannot yet understand Long division Structural injustice Borders, guns, war

Setting aside the bad faith presentations, I feel like I remember seeing polling that, compared to prior generations *at the same age,* GenZ was more conservative on some issues. Implying they might be a shifted-right version of the "liberal when you're young, conservative when you're old" trope.
