"A new trend has emerged in American politics: The very youngest voters — 18-to-24-year-olds — say they’re more conservative than the cohort that’s just older,” according to the latest Harvard Youth Poll.

“This new trend — which is true for both genders and emerged only in the last few years — is especially pronounced with men.”

    And meanwhile, the message they get from Democrats is “fuck off you don’t vote.” Who are then surprised when they fuck off.

      The Democratic party should play to these young men’s insecurities, lie to them, and turn them against society am I right?

      This is propaganda, psychological manipulation that the conservatives are using. Fear following into hate is a very effective tactic.

      There is no effective counter because now you have to convince a incel they are wrong. People believe what they hear especially if you are using the best of psychology to fuck with them.

        You really can’t fathom that treating young people with respect and listening to their concerns will keep them from falling for lies in the first place?

        I guess courting anyone but decrepit old racist boomers is completely foreign to centrists, and it explains every last one of their policies.
