Ill take things that never happened for $500 |
Clearly his doesn’t understand what socialism is and what it’s not, if that’s his reason. Surprised you wouldn’t correct him, since your pre-frontal cortex is developed. |
| My 20yo DS is not really political and this spring asked me if it was really possible a felon could run for president. He said he’d been following the trial and lawsuits and was surprised and horrified. He wouldn’t have voted for him anyway since he voted blue in 2022, but I was surprised he was following it. |
Because no gays joined the military until Biden/Harris came along.
Or maybe it's another DNC political wedge issue to divide and conquer. |

My nephew (22) has always been apolitical but seemed tolean right. He told my sister he was voting for Trump. She asked him why and to show her the research that led him to this. He showed her a bunch of tiktoks. :/ His algorithm was insane. She talked through every single one of them and countered them, with evidence. By the end of their conversation, he was ready to vote for Harris and felt like he had been conned.
He’s not an “underachiever”, by the way. He’s an engineer. |
| My oldest Gen Z (26) was home last weekend and went out to see two of his high school friends. One has just bought a brand-new home (IT professional, central VA). The other guy is a schoolteacher. Son says both of them claimed to be Independent in 2020 but did not vote. The election came up and they both promised my son that they are voting for Harris. The concerns they cited are the bullying of trans and gay people and Trump's record of bold face lying and the fact that he's a convicted felon. The teacher is already married, and the IT guy is engaged. My son voted a straight D ticket in Arlington last week. He was a Bernie Bro in 2016 but voted for Clinton. He said he has avoided talking politics with most of his back home friends. We live in a red county. |
GenZ boys/men are actually for being tough on violent criminals. Progressives are losing that generation of men because of their soft on violent people policies. And that includes blacks and hispanics. |
| My nephew is voting Trump. None of us can understand it, including his parents, with whom I canvassed for Harris. He says the same stupid MAGA points that make no sense and actually apply to Trump (e.g. accusing Kamala of not having plans or stealing elections). He’s early 20s and he definitely didn’t learn this at home. |
Are you saying that felons shouldn't be able to run for political office? |
Brainwashed via social media and sh#tty podcasts. It’s today’s version of AM radio. Same crappy message, but with more fast edit dopamine hits. |
I have to wonder about married and soon to be married men being worried about the bullying of trans people, over the bullying of women, as their top issue. Those women should run, fast. |
Of course, everyone knows wars are great for the economy. |
We can do better than choosing a convicted felon pussy-grabbing insurrectionist to represent the people of this country. And the felonies involve lying about campaign fund payoffs to hide screwing around with a pornstar while your wife is home with a brand new infant. I think we can do better for your son and all of our sons. |
i So, by voting for Trump, your son is expressing his preference for fascism and an oligarchy. |
Or, it could be a lack of a civic education and understanding of history? |
