In his never-ending quest to divide the United States, JD Vance has been touring the talk show circuit to spread his hateful message.

If you’re over 30, chances are the world is starting to feel increasingly strange to you. Gen Z are growing up fast, and they’ve got some strong opinions about how weird old people are.
