      The amount of younger people that are sucked in hook, line, sinker, rod, boat, trailer and truck is staggering.

      That demographic is a whole other problem that requires a whole other solution. Conservatives have spent a decade building the online right-wing pipeline with podcast bro’s and streamers aiming their content at young teenage boys. Now all those kids are of voting age, and a big chunk of them have spent half their lives being raised on manosphere bullshit that taught them that they are owed the world on a silver platter.

      I will hand it to conservatives; they are frighteningly good at organizing and staying on message in ways that the Left can only dream of. If we could get half as organized as them, they’d never win another election.

        JK Rowling is doing something extremely similar to teenage girls, and this isn’t really on many’s radar.

      Yeah, there’s a reason the orange overlord is targeting universities now. He knows that election wins come from the uneducated and poor. They either truly don’t know, or don’t care enough since they have no investments worth mentioning.

        You give him too much credit. He doesn’t know any of this. But the right-wing think tanks that have been waiting for this moment do, and he’s easily manipulated into following their agenda.

      It’s the uneducated or intellect impaired that should be reined in.

      Are you aware that this genuinely sounds like some nazi shit? Let’s maybe not start controlling what the “intellect impaired” can do with their lives…
