The unstated reason why the red wave died: If we don't address this one, we're doomed.
American Thinker ^ | 11/23/2022 | Carole Hornsby Haynes

Posted on 11/23/2022 9:13:23 AM PST by SeekAndFind

With the failure of the Republican Party to achieve a red wave in the midterm elections, many explanations — and accusations — are being bandied about.  Blame is attributed to abortion, Trump endorsements, election integrity, and voter fraud, and the shifting of millions of votes to Democrats by Google, Facebook, and other tech monopolies.

Marketing expert Mark Beal from the Rutgers University School of Communication and Information believes there is still another factor in the election that is being overlooked: the impact of Generation Z.  An expert on this group (born between 1997 and 2012), Beal says they will wield increasing influence on local, state, and national election outcomes.

This "purpose" generation is focused on environment issues and women's rights.  Aggressively programmed in diversity, inclusion, and equity, they support "corporations, brands, organizations and individuals running for office that have the ability, influence and power to contribute to a better world, nation and community."

The oldest members of this cohort first voted in 2015.  During the time of the 2020 presidential election, five classes, ages 18–23, voted.  In the 2022 election, the seventh class of Gen Z to turn 18 also voted.  An NBC poll showed that Gen Z voted for Biden more than any other age demographic and contributed to the success of Biden in states such as Georgia and Pennsylvania. 

Beal states that Gen Z through 2030 will constitute the majority of voters as the youngest members of the cohort turn 18.  He believes they "will significantly influence future elections for many years."

Gen Z naïvely believe the Marxist/Leninist propaganda that equity means equality for all rather than the central government forcing redistribution of property.

The ballot is not the person.

Until “one person, one vote” can be proven, any vote tally should be considered suspect.

It’s not up to us to prove that the elections are fake. It’s up to them to prove that they are real in the first place. They can’t. They won’t. And there’s no way to make them.

A republic, if you can keep it.

Gen Z isn’t particularly ideological, but they were raised to believe unquestionly whatever is shown in front of them and react to stupid stunts for short periods of time. The dems have cornered the market on activating these people just long enough to react and send in a ballot (especially if it’s already sent to them) in reaction to some stupid scare tactic.

Thanks to long early voting periods, the dems cannchange the stupid tactic to scare a different group of people. Once one group is sufficiently scared by some stupid tactic and votes, the dems can ignore them and move on.

This is the playing field that the republicans refuse to play on. It’s essential that they learn, even if the game is infinitely cynical and inherently predatory on the stupid. Only by playing this stupid game can the dems be brought to heel and agree to changing the terms of voting.

One reason only. The election rules and mass mail ballots are heavily weighted to the rats.

The seeds sown in our public schools and universities are sprouting.

“Generation Z didn’t vote in large numbers so the Uniparty, with full support of the RINOs, fed the machines ballots in their names.”

What were the numbers on Gen Z voting?
What were the numbers on voting for Dems vs Repubs?
Where is the proof anyone fed the machines with ballots in their names?

Just asking since you seem to have access to the data.

I have made this point before, that barring a Genuine Awakening, as opposed to orchestrated woke-inness, the last generation of Americans has mostly already been born. They will get whatever they think they want after that, but they won’t end up liking it.

It's the machines.

A single line of code can flip thousands of votes and no one would know.

I am sick of this defeatist attitude. “We are doomed “ the sky is falling, the sky is falling. Just quit because we don’t have a chance of winning.

We only lose when we quit the game.

People fought back in Russia and toppled the communist regime.

The problem is that we try and win it all at one time , like Trump.

The communist have been doing this incrementally for about 85 years and more. Keep making gains when we can and never give an inch back. JMO!

USA, as we knew it, is doomed…it’s been a great ride…

That's what my husband says and I'm starting to join y'all with that thought.

There was also the election fraud, here in Arizona, for example.

Those of us on the right were no allowed to vote in person on election day, and leftists cast multiple ballots during the mail-in voting period.

So there’s that.

This is the “bottom floor” war

Woke social media

And this is why sites like Rumble Video and now Twitter drive the left crazy

Rumble video had a large Influx of Young people this fall with Andrew Tate and others moving there

GenZ then are exposed to the large conservatives channels on Rumble giving then another point of view

Grand theories about generational change are just fluff.

100% right. And.....these theories are usually pushed by the elders who refuse to be held accountable for their stupidity, ie blaming fraud while mailing in their ballot, not inculcating a love for liberty with their progeny who they sent to public school, and a dozen other self-induced Boomer and GenX cleanups needed on aisle 3.

About 30% of Gen Z voted, the second highest proportion in 30 years for the 18-29 cohort. And they voted 68% democrat.

Also

As people get older they tend to vote more conservative

The liberal flower child movement generation from the 1960’s is now the biggest Trump block of voters (aka baby boomers)

1-We lack election integrity because we've allowed Dems to open every imaginable avenue of cheating and they have taken control of the paths to remedy.

2-The MSM and Big Tech are on their side.

3-The Left is better financed via tax funded money laundering, such as gov't employee unions, and kickbacks via gov't contracts, and colluding in financial frauds like FTX.

4-Phony conservatives promote dealing with the Devil to become attractive to Independent voters.

What were the numbers on Gen Z voting?

They're pointing toward Gen Z voting hard Left but that doesn't compute in states that have stricter voting laws and don't have the mail-in ballots. Why would Gen Z vote Left on mail-in votes but not in person? Any initiative such a gay marriage or money for illegals, especially in places like California, gets voted down massively by the public yet the Left still insists younger people want it?

What were the numbers on voting for Dems vs Repubs?

Keep in mind that they insist that Joe Bai-din got more votes than Obama. More votes than Obama. Think about that.

Where is the proof anyone fed the machines with ballots in their names?

The proof in 2020 was how many of the mail-in ballots didn't have the watermarks and the paper included bamboo - a dead giveaway that they were printed overseas.

The reason Democrats and RINOs want mail-in ballots is to allow them to run the data to see who didn't vote and then submit enough ballots in their name. Any machine that scans a ballot coughs up this data to those who are in on the scam.

They also want mail-in ballots to dispose of Republican ballots before election day. They care so little about getting caught that such ballots have been dumped on the ground instead of being incinerated.

MAGA Republicans and Kari Lake screwed up their plans in Arizona by having people wait until election day and show up with their ballots. The criminals in Arizona then had "problems" with 62% of their voting machines.

That stat is coming from the same group that insists Jao Bai-din got more votes than Obama. Gen Z didn't vote in those numbers, the Uniparty did it in their name.
