Who are you trying to fool. Lots of crazy in your post. Where do I start? The only part that comes close to truth… he went to DCPS and read a single book.

He read 1 book, probably a picture book, subject matter Martin Luther King, and he either didn’t finish it or it took him 13 years to do so.

He’s miserable because he received a crap education, he wasn’t terribly bright to start with, so even the best education would have been wasted on him, and he can’t keep up at community college, and that’s your fault.

Stop blaming other folks because you and your offspring are middling folks who made a bunch of bad choices with predictable results.

Way to play into the elitist liberal trope.

Way to blindly follow the MAGA playbook. Claim hyperbolically that literally every book is DEI and hates whites, then blame some abstract group of "woke elites" because it's easier than understanding what is actually holding you back.

She completely forgot about Gen Z who are still in middle school and high school.

Essentially the silo that is DCUM, nothing abstract about it.

So there are no liberal incels? That's interesting.

All three of my Gen Z children are in long term relationships. Virtually all of their friends are as well. The group all leans right of center. They have jobs or are finishing up college. They make good money and go out together a lot.

Research reveals that most incels are center left politically.

Do you have a link for this?

Other studies say the opposite. Perhaps many are apolitical or libertarian, but their belief system aligns with the alt-right: immutable hierarchy, white supremacy (they rank different races by looks, with whites at the top of course), nihilism, revenge fantasies, a longing to return to the "good old days" when women and blacks knew their place, the redistribution of rights, money, property, and jobs to men. The incel movement is a direct pipeline to the alt-right. Social media algorithms exploit this. It's how young men become gradually radicalized.

Gen Z voted against closed schools and masks and disrupted lives. And they have a legitimate gripe. But, they didn’t vote for this. Just ask them.

This makes a lot of sense because being young is about questioning the dominant culture, questioning your parents (who tend to look at Trump in the same way 50s parents looked at Elvis's dance moves), and reacting in a way to correct for society's past mistakes. Whether the left is right or wrong, they are incredibly consistent and ubiquitous in their messaging, so it was predictable that the youth would turn MAGA.

LMAO nope. Everyone looks at you people wearing your cheap-ass Chinese made red MAGA hats and sees ignorant, self-centered dorks, it's complete cringe - the farthest thing from cool. Cool isn't gonna come from a senile, octogenarian boomer. And wanting to go back to some notion of an imaginary 1950s that MAGAs want isn't in the remotest in being forward thinking. No matter how much you want it, "cool" is never happening for you.

It's true that the 40+ crowd sees MAGA hats as cringe. But I'm telling you what I am observing. I'm seeing 20s white kids walking around clubs in MAGA hats like a fashion statement.

The 20 somethings see them as cringe too.

Don't know where that PP is hanging out, but I've not seen a single red hat at any of my kids' three schools (high schools or colleges). It's absolutely cringe.

But according to the PP the “cool kids” are wearing the red hat. 🙄

Hate to say it, but I think OP is right. Go to any Lacrosse game, private golf course, Top Fraternity on an SEC campus, Country club - places with rich young people - and the MAGAs are everywhere - easy to spot even without the hats. There is a definite look - think Charleston, SC - Blonde (or at the very least, good hair) , white (yet tan), Preppy/bright very put together outfits, Louis Vuitton bags, cross around their neck...forget the hat - what I just described is the MAGA uniform. This segment is growing fast.

I hate to break it to you, but those are not cool kids.
