LOL- yet they pulled in the largest number of young voters in the parties history last November....
It’s behind NRO’s paywall, and I’d gouge out my own eyeballs before I’d actually *pay* NRO to read their elitist tripe.
So cut to the chase — exactly how does NRO/Becket Adams wish the grassroots to abandon our principles in their misbegotten attempt to pander to young voters? Do they advocate taking out Orange Man? Anything less would be out of character for the scoundrels.
I don’t really read anything from National Review anymore.
The only real question is: Why do we always post drivel from the discredited and TDS-infested National Review?
America has a problem with hordes of young commies
Young womyn aren’t voting for dems either. They’re voting for commies. Young men vote for Republicans.
*Everybody* *Always* has a young voter problem.
Namely, that they’re fickle and think everything is so unfair.
It was long ago, but I was young once, too... and “young voters” tend to believe Mommy/Daddy Government should fix it for them.
The thing I tell my kids? And hey - guess what, I came of age in the 70s/80s when inflation was FAR worse than now, but:
1) YOU need to be responsible for YOU.
2) Any path that involves a GOVERNMENT solution is NOT you being responsible for you.
Sucks for elections, but “young voters” always think some cabal is screwing them. I was no different long ago.
We *ARE* saddling them with unsustainable government debt, but that doesn’t excuse YOU from planning for YOU.
From National PU, David French approved this message.
It was easier to bring in youth when we were protesting during the Tea Party era. Protesting is visible, protesting is fun(enjoyable), and protesting has components to it that do not just boil down to “complaining”.
There are older conservatives who are distinctly out of touch with reality who sneer at the prospect of going out and getting a mass number of people to hold up home made signs and protest an issue or protest congress on the streets.
Ignoring the fact that the Founding Fathers were protesters themselves and inserted it into the Constitution it is said that they adore, the real world result is that youth want to be hyper-active.
The hyper-active want to go out and protest. We cut off our own noses to spite our faces by being whiners about oh woe is me we have lost the youth while at the same time sneering at active protesting in the streets.
It’s a clear contradiction. Your sneers cost you at least some of the youth. It’s basically a form of FAFO.
Anyone can point out problems. Offer a solution. As its been said, lead, follow or get out of the way. Time for NR to get out of the way.
You can’t fix stupid.
Obama created the Life of Julia, a cradle to grave life with a government hand out to females. With DEI and #METOO females have a huge advantage over males. How can we win them back? How about we don’t want them back. The Dems can have them.
He disliked nearly all women, and especially the young and pretty ones. It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers−out of unorthodoxy
That being said, I am a little skeptical of the data in the article. With regard to New York City, about 12% of the population is Jewish, and another 9% Muslim, both figures not indicating the degree of adherence to the doctrines of the respective faiths. If you look at that mayoral election, it was the large Hispanic and black communities that provided Mandami's margin of victory. Hasidic Jews voted monolithically for Cuomo. White Catholics, and some white Protestant and Orthodox Christians who have not left NYC and are concentrated in Staten Island, southern Brooklyn, parts of Queens, and the Upper East Side of Manhattan, showed a predominant vote for Cuomo with Sliwa in second place. Non-Hasidic Jews and Northeast Asians slightly favored Cuomo.
Aside from the recently gentrified neighborhoods, mostly in Brooklyn and the historically leftist areas such as the Upper West Side, the vote was a clear divide between the remaining white population and the nonwhites, Chinese and Korean Americans excepted. It was not a generational or gender divide as much as it was a racial divide.
Considering the amount of brain-fornication that is BIGGLY one-sided...I’m actually surprised the numbers aren’t a lot worse.
The "young" vote is migrating towards Turning Point and Trump.
The "young" vote that the left is measuring is a minority vote, and they're not as "young" as they used to be.

NRO wishes.
Good ole NR, official spokesperson of the RINO GOP. You know, the party that stands for nothing but managing the decline.
NR longs for the day when Trump single so they can get back to telling us Mike Pence is the real conservative.
And so, they look at the past election, since it went badly for our side, and treat it like it is the only election. What’s that you say? Trump did great with the youth vote? NR has never heard of it. No no, the GOP has a problem (implied to be because of Trump). See, we told you Trump was bad!! Pence Haley 2028!!
And let me add, if the left thought the youth vote was securely in their camp, they wouldn’t have killed Charlie.
GOP can get evangelicals to make up the difference. Not simple, but they have to try. Bringing Lara Trump back to the dysfunctional RNC would be a start.
