Yes. Good analysis.

Millennials D +28. They won’t realize how shitty things are going to get until their children (that they decide to keep) are experiencing what Venezuela is now.

Abrams and Warnock were advertising on Snapchat in Georgia. They’re not targeting current voters, they’re targeting future voters. Dems are on TikTok. We aren’t.

Democrats have figured out that Americans have short attention spans (student loan relief) and can be much more easily convinced to vote on social issues than economic issues because it’s easier to play on people’s emotions rather than appeal to their intelligence.

The young are influenced by media and celebrities. Dems own them.

Yes, that can’t be overstated how much the lopsided young voters (it was actually Gen-Z, 18-29) hurt us yesterday. Biden bought them off with a promise of student loan forgiveness, and they rewarded him in spades. It angered reliable borrowers who paid back their loans, but it didn’t change voting dynamics as much as the promise of free money to people who have very little.

Furthermore, the fact that people don’t even need to show up on election day anymore, which previously served as a check against a lazier and dumber electorate, is going to be an incredibly difficult obstacle for us to overcome.

Gen Z and millennials are such spoiled brats.

Very good point there. I was at a conference recently that included a talk on social media marketing. The gist: If you want to reach the young office, you have to be on TikTok and, to a lesser extent, Instagram. Facebook is for older people now and is of declining importance. Twitter, for all the talk about it in the legacy media, is irrelevant.

“Second, candidate quality matters - …..”

Stopped reading there. Hello, Fetterman won! Do not lecture me on quality of candidates.

Biden, the Democrat Party and MSM successfully defined Republicans as fascists and anti-democracy. Get used to losing.

It's one of the strangest elections on the books

Yeah, I think that's a nice way of saying, "most fraudulent".
