Inside the Gen Z Conservative Civil War

In this thought-provoking WARD RADIO livestream, host Cardon Ellis sits down with Brigham Tomko from Deseret News to discuss seismic shifts happening within Gen Z conservatives. The conversation unpacks how younger conservatives are increasingly diverging from the values and approaches of their boomer counterparts, marking a pivotal generational break within the American right.The discussion is rooted in real stories and recent polling data. Brigham Tomko illuminates the complexities facing Gen Z conservatives, spotlighting key issues such as home affordability, economic anxieties, disillusionment with traditional pathways, and especially, a sharp skepticism towards America's relationship with Israel. In fact, Gen Z’s more critical outlook on U.S. foreign aid and alliances—particularly with Israel—stands in stark contrast to the near-unquestioning support commonly seen among older conservatives.
