I'm disappointed that gen z didn't save the day this time, but every generation is to blame here. According to the exit polls I'm looking at, 19-29 year olds (roughly gen z) were the most progressive, with "only" 43% voting for Trump. 45-64 year olds (roughly gen x) were the most conservative, with 54% voting for Trump.
That's not actually a huge range! Somewhere close to half of every age group voted for Trump.

It is largely white men and white women in older demographics who voted for Trump. Let's not lay this solely at the feet of a relatively small percentage of those who voted for him.
When ethnicity is taken into account, POC largely voted for Harris. White men largely voted for Trump. White women voted for Trump in a wider margin than in past elections.
