Unlike, say, in the seventies I read and hear nothing about "Young Republicans."

It looks to me like young people today are embracing liberalism, or progressive-ism more than conservatism.

Is the Trump movement a last ditch effort to prevent the body politic from forever veering left?

Funny, lots of young-uns seem to feel our politics are not left-wing enough.

Time will tell.


Wasn’t there a study that showed that today’s millennials aren’t getting more conservative as they age like prior generations did?

I have no idea.

We're in unmarked territory.

It's possible most of can write Trump in on a ballot to run the country from a prison cell.

LOL

Were that to happen I'd have to fire up the communicator from the UFO that crashed in my backyard and reach out to the aliens, saying "Please come get me, there's no intelligent life left on earth."

It seems the sickness is progressive.


You know we're in deep do-do when a man touches young underage girls on camera and then the establishment claims he won.

Not in my lifetime.

No man on Earth can win with that sexual coverage.

Probably should fire up that communicator now. Not many intelligent people left on this planet.
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent.

and the 2024 Election is shaping up to be:

a race between a man who looks like he belongs in an Assisted Living Facility

and a man who on his best day will still likely tell at least 25 lies

So it’s 2020 all over again.

And the result will be the same.

The Republican candidate Ramaswamy speaks like he's spitting bullets. It didn't bother me at first, but now every time he talks I'm finding it really annoying.

Bad news for the people in denial about the state of the GOP primary.

tldr: it ain’t just Donny, they all suck!

Is your opinion of XXX favorable/unfavorable?

Biden 42/54%
Trump 37/59%
DeSantis 33/48%
Pence 25/59%
Haley 23/35%
Scott 22/22%
Christie 19/53%


Biden is the least hated of them all at -12 favorablity. (Except Scott, but let’s face it: he doesn’t have an ice cube’s chance in hell)

No one in the Kennedy family supports his vaccine views. Not even his wife.

The race is between a weakening Biden and Kennedy. No one else is stepping up and their bench is weak.

Kennedy is considered a hero in New York State, having preserved and cleaned the majestic 315 mile long Hudson River.

On the flip side Kennedy is batshit crazy
