A big fumble was the trust of young America

A ton of zoomers and young Americans this past election cycle were dipping their toes into the waters of politics, and of course saw that the Republicans seemed to have common sense ideals and plans, and their disillusionment had them naturally leaning quite conservative.
Given that they were brand new to politics and that alignment, they were also tentative and felt no deep loyalty or identity with “The Right” at all. Once they felt betrayed with the War overseas, the high COL, bad optics and Trumpian rhetoric, they flipped hard.
What a huge missed opportunity to not dial into this new foundational voting population and continue to communicate successes and really hear their concerns.

Well they have a big lesson coming.

Many have noted Gen Z is transactional, they are not tied to a party. So I can see that group swinging election to election.
But damn, the gop really needs to lighten up on young men. That should be their bread and butter, and they almost seem to revile them.

Younger generation seemed to have some libertarian values. How to keep them:
Epstein files
No new wars
Arrest the corrupters
Stop aid to Israel
Don’t spend tons of money to oust Massie
I mean really this was all just shooting yourself in the foot. This list also doesn’t include the lame duck senate
Meant to add: keep DOGE and run with it

Part of the equation that lost Texas talked about it on here it's in the numbers And we'll find out more the month ahead

And because republicans shied away from Doge, elect the frickers that’ll fund the living shite out of USAID and stop investigations into fraud?

Let me ask you how many independent voters or voters who decided in the last one month, thought about any of the validpoints that you're raising,
Could congressional Republicans have done a better job getting some things through that Trump wanted
sure
None of that made a difference to the independent, young voters or the 22%hispanic flip
Do you think that there was a Republican that refused to vote for Congress because they didn't pass it so, they're the reason that we lost it
You think there's millions of those people?

They went one way and got burned, so they’re gonna swing the other. Once that burns them they’ll swing again

The problem that many of you fail to grasp is you likely won’t get the opportunity to swing it back if a Republican doesn’t win in 28’ and I zero confidence they will. Far too many of you are arbitrarily dismissing the very, very real possibility the SC swings wildly to the Left and countless Constitutional challenges are made on behalf of Democratic states. There is no recourse if and when that happens

There is but it’s something conservatives fail to get behind, for some reason. Convention of states could pass amendments that rein in the federal government.

no shite
Do you know how weak-minded people who are overtly political are?
They're all part of a cult on either side
I don't mean people who are interested in politics, Investments, business, social issues, patriotism. civic duty
But people who are that interested in politics...active party club members with a trump flag flying , your neighbor that likes Alex Jones, listening to political radio .... its all BS ,, distraction,. but it's not like the facts aren't available,,,just your chances of finding it on X... considering the nut jobs who produce it
message board warriors
are negligible
Dumb people are the ones who decide every election

I’m aware that things can get real bad real quick. I’m just saying what the young generation did and why

Young white men are very far right but itching to take action. We could have an army if we werent trying to silence them

If this is truly what happened then the US is screwed. It didn't take a lot of homework or awareness to understand the worst thing to do is put the DSA in control of Congress.

already? They are not even in power yet. That is the "they" you were shilling for.
Bash Trump, that is all you need to do to govern!

Well, as they say, you made your bed now lie in it. They shall reap what they sewed, and this will be probably their first lesson in life where nobody's going to be able to fix their mess for them. Their mommy can't go yell at the mean teacher who gave them a B.... Their daddy can't buy them a trip to Europe to make it all better.
They wrecked their own futures, so sit back and enjoy the show.
It's gonna be a knee slapper.
Great job, young voters... Maybe now you will quit getting all of your information from influencers on the frickin internet.
