  1. In other words they get their information from China 😑

  2. Isn't Kalhan Rosenblatt the woman that wanted to abuse an innocent horse.

  3. I weep for their future. Idiocrasy here we come! “It’s got electrolytes….”

  4. Due to trumps fake news campaign

  5. I thought 2012 was stupid, but i guess 22 has gotten more stupider

  6. People are dumbed down

  7. Just as bad as boomers dependency on Rupert Murdochs Fox News. No wonder these two age groups are dumber than a rock. At least one age group is a bunch of kids.

  8. Vote for Trump in 2024!

    because we need more criminals in our Government. we need daily lies. we need poor families to remain in poverty. we want DOJ Garland to go down in history as the person who destroyed American democracy!

    Dear DOJ Garland, why are you protecting Trump? we have no trust in you. You have no transparency because you hide behind your "investigations". You appear to operate without any accountability.
    Please step down so others can protect Democracy!
    ….

  9. And why do we care? Why is this news?

  10. just by reading the title and not watching the video , i am going to say "well that's just dumb"
    google=search engine
    social media= social media
    did not realize young people are so stupid

  11. They honestly can't think for themselves. It's incredible 😍

  12. Are the answers to their questions useful! Visual dictionary like in preschool?

  13. So for Gen Z the only things worth searching about are me, myself and I.

  14. because young people are idiots and don't know and aren't taught how to do real research.

  15. Just wait until there's some weird conspiracy trend that implodes on itself on social media…

  16. And that’s why they are so dumb
