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.

They don’t seem to understand that their party is going to hand them the bill for bailing out social security and Medicare.

“The “youthquake” that never happened.”

“Here are 4 real numbers: 12, 13, 13, 12. That’s the percentage of the vote among 18-29 year olds in the last 4 midterms. No change. Margin for Dems slightly down from ‘18. Where did this “youth vote saved Dems” thing ever even start??”

ALL 6 public school levies and county levies PASSED in this GOP Dewine vote territory.

GOP or DEM makes no diff here any longer at all with baby murder off the table.

Until the Presidents Working Group on Financial Markets (1998) is struck down, and President Trump resumes office, there IS no Republic as designed. None.

“their credit cards max out with 24% interest”
They should know Old Joe is specifically responsible for this! He wasn’t called “The Senator from MBNA” for nothing! ;)

Blacks went 86% -13% Dem, Hispanic 60% - 38%

Those aren’t numbers to crow about.

Yeah dumb White Kids vote Liberal, but they usually grow up and vote correctly. You can’t say that about Blacks & Hispanics.

These people were planning to travel with the tuition gift. I don’t get it—were they expecting checks? I suppose some of them already charged the airfare and hotels to their high-interest credit cards.

“ These idiots went 28 + Dems.

They are enjoying free stuff. Just wait until the bill comes due. ”
******************************************************************

It’s already due and already being paid. They’re too stupid to realize that INFLATION IS A TAX and the HIGHER GENERAL PRICES ARE FOREVER - IT’S A FOREVER TAX.

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

You can say that again
How else can the blue being bluer and red being redder be explained.
The steal “shift” (localized by local elections)was magnified and accentuated thus the contrast!!!! between he straight and fair elections and the ones tainted by the STEAL
It’s simple to see. Y’all need to fix the 2020 election to right the ship.
All the evidence is already there spend 10% of the effort that has been expended trying to barbeque President Trump and you will French fry biden snd company

Other commentators on FR also mentioned Linsay Graham’s comments on abortion legislation that may have been a factor in the youth vote going Rat. The issue was turned over to the states.

27 percent of people ages 18-29 cast a ballot in 2022

Murder Inc. had been pimping abortion as the big deal and called out the troops that didn’t get much done even the democrat party and stooge Biden pimped it on the tube.

Shows their priority in life is have the feds foot their bill for cold blooded murder.

Savages

We will see how many still cling to Democrats after a few rounds of being lied to. Don’t forget the old saying about liberal at 20, conservative at 40. The question is will there be anything left to conserve by the time the liberalism wears off.

Of course, given there were still drop boxes, mail-in votes, vote harvesting, messed up voting machines and a number of other fraud helpers, there is no telling what the real vote looked like. Very little of what made the massive steal of 2020 possible has been undone, and as long as they can make up enough votes to keep the right people in office it never will be.

Was just watching Reagan's Farewell Address. It made me cry. The man was a Prophet. He was warning against Cultural Marxism even before it was a thing.

Cultural Marxism must be rooted out and destroyed, and DeSantis is SO good on this.

The Hill is wrong as usual. The red wave was 6,500,000 votes strong.

They just empty the warehouses, and make up why they won through their mouthpieces.
