I suspect you’re correct, but I’m not nearly certain you’re correct. Van Der Plaats, the evangelical king-maker in Iowa, wrote a Xhit over the long weekend that took the Mango Menace to task.
And we know that his presence on the ballot gooses the reactionary turn-out in the electorate. Now, if you run around telling people (in effect), “Your vote doesn’t matter: I bought you with three SCotUS appointment 2017- 2020. STFU and stay bought,” that is not conducive to motivating people to vote. And the effect in down-ballot races could be huge.
Hate to break it to you folks, but the armbands are out of the bag. Every election for the rest of our lives will be a referendum between liberal democracy and human rights on the one side and a fascist takeover of the government on the other. If any of you are stupid enough to believe that Project 2025 is just going to go away if Fat Boy loses, then you’re just lazy and gullible. The far right has gotten a little taste of power and now they’ve started envisioning what they could do with permanent rule. Please don’t be so dumb as to dismiss this as “doomscrolling.” Do you really think they’re all just going to shrug their shoulders and walk away? They fought Roe for 50 years. This is the battle, now, today. We’re out of time, so we’d better the fuck end the gerrymandering of the right and the constant navel gazing of the left and get our motherfucking shit together now. Because I sincerely doubt my grandchildren will be given that chance.
Reading the comments, there a ton of gullible young men out there. Even the tone of voice of the woman is fake. And those dumb incels are wondering why no woman wants to have sex with them.
A growing number of young women are discovering that they can’t find suitable male partners. As a whole, men are increasingly struggling with, or suffering from, higher unemployment, lower rates of educational attainment, more drug addiction and deaths of despair, and generally less purpose and direction in their lives. But it’s not just that. There’s a growing ideological divide, too. Since Mr. Trump’s election in 2016, the percentage of single women ages 18-30 who identify as liberal has shot up from slightly over 20 percent to 32 percent. Young men have not followed suit. If anything, they have grown more conservative.
Whaddaya mean? The German Federal Republic has been stable and democratic for 75 years. As for the interim between Weimar and the FRG when Hitler ruled, it was only 12 years, so how bad could it have been? Same as if Trump gets back into power. /s/
Don’t any of these young men have mothers? Are they incapable of seeing their mothers working TWO jobs – outside the home and all that happens at home? Are they too damn lazy to wash their own clothes, change their own sheets, and cook their own meals?
It’s more than that. A lot of liberals consider NPR to be liberal, and I doubt that many republicans donate to it. The problem with that is that liberals then say, “Well, if NPR is reporting non-stop on Hillary’s emails or Biden’s inflation, there must be something to it” or “Wow! Listen to those Ohio diners say that democrats aren’t doing anything for them,” and that helps suppress the liberal votes for democrats.
