I have followed both campaigns closely and always felt that RFK was a white hat. That being said I am probably younger than most of you. I am 30 and on that Gen Z millennial border. Though I consider my self a millennial cause I remember 9/11.
Anyways people my age get their news from social media and podcasts. Nobody my age watches cable news. RFK knew this and did most of his campaigning on social media and with podcasters. I listened to all his interviews with Joe Rogan, Theo Von, Tim Dillon, Patrick Bet-David, Lex Friedman, etc.
Young people listen to these podcasts and follow all these people on social media. Guys like Joe, Theo and Tim Dillon supported RFK. RFK has red pilled millions of young Americans about the FDA and how fucked up the food supply is.
My prediction is as things get worse, Democrats gets exposed, major events happen etc. Trump will be interviewed by more of these people and endorsed by them. Trump was already on Theo Von the other day. Again these people have huge followings from normal Gen z and millennials. Not idiotic white liberal women but normal young people. Even Joe who is hesitant will reach his precipice and will either endorse Trump or have him on the Podcast.
They will lose the young vote. I have seen it for myself friends from high school who were Dems have kids now and have changed views. My radical marxist cousin had a child and realized feminism was mostly bs.
By the time November comes childless white liberal women will be some of their only young supporters left. Take it to the bank.
I watched most of the Theo Von interview. I had seen Theo on other shows before, but had never seen his show.
I thought his approach to the interview took courage. Maybe he just did what he knows and he even said that they talk a lot about addiction on his show. But he resisted the urge which I am sure was probably very strong to try to make it a CNN interview. Instead it was personal. And it got quite personal, in terms of getting Trump to talk about his brother.
I ended up respecting Theo and I will watch him again. He also made me laugh hysterically once or twice. Especially "You become your own street light" was amazing. And "You end up go-karting with hookers", said to a President, was priceless.
I also ended up thinking that in a way this interview brought both sides together in a way I had not seen before. And here I don't mean "Right and Left". I mean "Under 30" and "Over 30".
Well done.
