[quote=Anonymous]It’ll be a combination of holding onto those issues (like some people hold onto the caravans topic), some extremists doubling down on those issues, and branching out to attack anything they can think of and following whichever paths look promising. Also cheating, suppressing the vote, election denial, and generally playing dirty. There certainly won’t be any introspection or trying to win over more voters. It’ll be about changing voters or who can vote to make their hateful policies appear to be the will of the people. https://twitter.com/therecount/status/1590680637945806850

They didn’t factor in young voters. They’re not traditionally the most reliable demographic, but then again in past generations young voters weren’t losing rights or worrying about being shot up in schools. Many of them grew up in an environment where LGBT rights were standard, abortion is considered healthcare, and active shooter drills are necessary and common. Now suddenly they’re finding LGBT rights are at risk, women aren’t full citizens with reproductive freedom in some states, and gun violence is normalized and handled poorly.

We saw Uvalde and thanked our lucky stars it wasn’t our kids and sent compassion to the families however we could. Young voters saw it and wondered about that time there was a lockdown and they hid under their desks not knowing what was happening, if there was a shooter or if it was a drill, and would the police have let them, their classmates, their teachers die while they stand around in the halls. They’re voting for their lives and rights they didn’t think could be taken away, and I don’t think they’re going to be idle the way young voters were in the past. They prevented the red wave, and they’re solidly rejecting Trump politics and today’s version of conservative values.

I think this is what happens when you empower young kids and give them tools for success. They think they can do anything. They’ll see the impact they’re having. They’re great at reaching and motivating their generation. Heck, if they can get people to try to eat a mouthful of cinnamon after seeing other people attempt it, they’ll figure out how to motivate each other to vote. [/quote]
