Young People Are Flocking to the Republican Party
Newsweek ^ | July 10, 2024 | Darragh Roche

Young people appear to be flocking to the Republican Party, according to the figures in a new poll from the Pew Research Center that surveyed Americans' party affiliation.

The National Public Opinion Reference Survey (NPORS) published by Pew Research on Tuesday has drawn significant attention from analysts because it shows the GOP leading among those under 30.

There are just four months until the presidential election where former President Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, is hoping to defeat President Joe Biden, the Democratic candidate.

Morris said that one of the possibilities was that “we’re seeing a historic realignment among young voters, to the point where they are as GOP as the silent gen and white evangelical Christians.”

Morris added another possibility: “Selection into taking a poll is correlated with some unmeasured very political variable that’s throwing off most to all polls right now, even literally the best in the industry, and will cause havoc on Election Day (on the level of 2020, 2016, 1980, 1960, 1952, 1948).”


We don’t like the results so now it is a selection correlation. Why don’t that print that with EVERY poll.

This will happen, as the kids figure out the media is full of nothing but lies, scheming for the Dimocrat party.

I have 7 teenage grandkids (14-18). They all are fed up with liberalism. They don’t how they’ll be able to afford growing up. The ones that drive can’t afford car insurance. One of them goes to public high school. He tells stories of what the teachers say and what his classmates talk about. The kids can’t stand it. They make fun of their teachers, one of the kids does really good impressions of what it’s like in a classroom. Hey, they are kids. Luckily their parents are conservative.

One of my adult kids, along with many other parents, recorded and reported the indoctrination by teacher in class, later that year she was gone. One good thing about covid, the parents saw what was happening in class.

High interest rates, jobs for foreigners, housing for illegals:

And low pay for natives as a consequence, but with high rents because the gubmint prints money to pay for housing for illegals.

Moving forward, Pressler argued the primary “role of young people is to educate ourselves to make sure we make informed decisions on the ballot and in our lives.” As he concluded, “If we want change, we must go forward soberly and with prudence. History has shown that” the wrong “change often leads to further destruction.”


We need to take the time to educate younger people. MAGA

Interesting as this is from Newsweek, a far-left source.

Young males are becoming increasingly conservative while young females remain liberal.

The difference this time is that even the Hispanics and the Blacks are on the Trump train this time.

Young people are (maybe) beginning to recognize the sheer destructiveness of the open sewer that the culture has become. They may not be drawing the right conclusions (yet), but they know that they are reaping the whirlwind.

They are just beginning their adult lives. They are recognizing not only that they may be the first generation in American history to do less well than their parents and grandparents ... but also that this decline is fully intentional on the part of an elite that is bent on creating a caste system.

The brighter ones are realizing not only that the sexual carnival is ultimately destructive, but that the left’s real agenda is anti-marriage, anti-family, anti-children, and anti-future.

Some of them are realizing that the desire to find a stable partner and have children is a quite fundamental human urge ... and that the schools and cultural establishment have been relentlessly indoctrinating them in deprioritizing the important things in favor of working longer hours for a bigger paycheck, fancy vacations, and a career that rapidly becomes a succession of jobs.

Some of them are figuring out that men and women are supposed to like each other and help each other, not view each other as intrinsic enemies.

Many of them are realizing that the assault on standards and excellence in every domain is insane, as is the left’s open preference for criminals, who are deemed victims, over the law-abiding, who are deemed oppressors.

If they have their eyes open, they will come to realize that the left is on the wrong side of every one of these issues, that everything the left says is a pyramid of lies, and that the left even denies the reality of sex and gender ... so go forth and ride the carousel until you die alone.

Sooner or later, young people will say no to the left’s Brave New World. Maybe that’s starting to happen. We aren’t the first culture that has gone insane. The pendulum eventually swings back ... or we will simply be replaced by waves of newcomers from cultures that are still “primitive” enough to have children and build for the future.

Liberalism has moved from being a mental disorder to being a collective death wish. The winnable young people will be those who look at this hell, turn away, and choose life.

*Young males are becoming increasingly conservative while young females remain liberal.*

They’ve given up on the women who would rather hop in the sack with the Bill Clintons out there.

Biden (shouting): And I am giving away a deluxe gaming chair and $1,000 of snack foods to every young person by executive order.

Probably because the far left Marxist scrotum sacks took over C&W music.

Dems were warned months ago by some of the Dem pollsters that get-out-the vote efforts were going to result in a net increase in Republican voters. This in large part due to young people favoring Republicans.

As much as there is to mock about Gen Z’s; I think most of these young people see right through the crap and know the left is bat-crap crazy. Millennials are also seeing the truth as well.
