The 2022 midterms were swept by a youth wave that isn’t pulling back
The Hill ^ | 11/11/2022 | SARA GUILLERMO

The “red wave” political pundits have been predicting for months failed to materialize this past Tuesday. But what happened was not a “blue wave” either — rather, the 2022 election should be categorized as a “youth wave,” with near-historic numbers of young people turning out to vote, motivated not by party, but by the issues impacting them.

Early data from the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement at Tufts (CIRCLE) suggests that 27 percent of people ages 18-29 cast a ballot in 2022, marking the second-highest youth turnout in a midterm election in the past three decades. In critical states where razor-thin margins are ultimately determining control of local, state and federal legislatures, including Florida, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, CIRCLE found that youth turnout was even higher, at 31 percent.

Probably more like a white Snowflake blizzard by the Yoot freeloaders and deadbeats who want the taxpayers to pay their damn bills for them.

This is ridiculous Hill crap. Blaming youth is just a foil.

There was plenty of 2020-like fraud, with some tweaks, for 2022.

In about 10 - 15 years this group is going to put in politicians that are going to majorly cut back social security. They aren’t going to put up with 2:1 ratios of workers to recipients.

Soon it will be very dangerous to rely only on social security. It will be very ironic after all those years of fearmongering that Republicans will cut social security. In the end it will be the socialist collectivists that do it, as well as push forced euthanasia under the guise of universal healthcare.

Plenty of young voters will go back to apathy when they don’t get their college tuition gift, the college loan repayment suspension ends Dec. 31, their credit cards max out with 24% interest and no more stimulus checks.

There are those among the Gen Z crowd who are very conservative. But that just means the few that were able to see through all the propaganda are now stridently opposed.

They are just the exceptions that prove the rule that propaganda mostly works.

Engineered.

Since they didn't have to pay for "votes" for the JoeTatoe and The Ho, they had plenty of money for coattails this cycle.

Imagine that.

Very few of these “youths” actually voted on election day. The vast majority of their votes came by way of ballot harvesting, helped by the brainwashing of Tic-Toc and social media.

Without ballot harvesting these lazy “youths” would never actually go and vote in person. The next step for the Rats is to implement vote by phone, which will ensure the total collapse of the USA.

Issues like inflation and joblessness impact them more significantly, but they are going to have to learn from experience. Voting on ‘democracy’ and dead babies is not going to make their lives better. Tough life lessons ahead. Unfortunately, we are going down with them.

When you don’t have a pot to piss in, you don’t have a job, you sit at home and play vid games all day, you require a safe space, and you are not married or have no children, then voting DEM makes perfectly good sense, am I right? /s

They were motivated by the false promise of student loan forgiveness that the Democrats knew was unconstitutional. It’s as simple as that.

Our side would never cut Social Security.

It’s a democrat thing - they hate older white people who contributed to the system for decades. With democrats they’ll start pushing euthanasia...

They want us dead - and millions more illegals to move in and prop up their totalitarian hellhole dreams.

I used to study the Israeli military because they were so successful.

I quickly learned one thing about them.

They lie.

They have to.

Their continuation depends on it.

It’s the same with the Democrats.

They lie.

They have to.

Their continuation depends on it.

Just keep that in mind about them.

And we got the highest percentages of Latino and Black voters in decades; I will take these working and middle class voters over the semi-educated idiots coming out of colleges any day. After all, the Rs got six million more votes for Congress than the Ds.
