You nailed it. Most of the youth vote that turns on Obama will do so because he’s not liberal enough, or didn’t provide the unicorns, not because they’ve abandoned that fantasy.
I hope a smart GOP campaign can calculate how to exploit that.
We need to give those kids more bumper stickers and tshirts that are anti-Obama in a way that appeals to their premie psychology.
Feed them the truth.
Look, they’ve been lied to all their lives about pretty much everything in school. It takes time for people to realize that they were being fed bs the whole while.
I know it took me time too. When I was 18, I was a globalist. I believed that a one world government was the best outcome and I have writings from back then to prove it.
By 19, I was a Christian who believed that gay marriage was ok because marriage in general made people better.
When I was 20 I realized that I didn’t understand Christian marriage very well, and came to understand how sin changes the way our brain operates and how people get inured to sin. You can’t get to virtue through sin except in repenting and turning away from sin.
I made my huge stride in two years, and have generally been adding to it all the while. But I was confronted by the hard and ugly truth that I had been lied to and everything I had known was wrong, dead wrong.
