Politics in Younger Generations

 Has political media become oversaturated?

This is a genuine question for all of my college age folks out there. While I’ve heard about Gen Z being politically motivated, I can’t help but to think the opposite. The more I talk to people, the more I find out they are not interested in voting and are irritated by the constant political ads. 

I suppose this could be because we are living in a politically charged world with lots of major events (9/11, War on Terror, #BLM, #MeToo, Israel & Palestine, etc.). I could see why it is easy to get overwhelmed with the amount of political activity and ads constantly surrounding us. While some are motivated, I guess others just disengage. 

It worries me if my generation stops voting. What happens then? Maybe I’m just not talking to the right people? What do y’all think?
