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 love to see that American politics has now come full circle, with a new generation taking up Western values that we all thought were going to be lost forever.
In the book, "The Fourth Turning", the authors tell us that history is not linear, but rather cyclical, and that it is the driving force of generations that make it so. Today's young people, I am beginning to learn, are fed up with the licentious and progressive views of their parents, and are again picking up the mantle of conservatism, because there is so much to conserve.
Another way of stating "The Fourth Turning" is this: Hard times create hard men. Hard men create good times. Good times create soft men. Soft men create hard times.
We are now at the end of the current Fourth Turning, and these hard times have created a new generation of hard men. And I'm glad to see it.
Great comment fren.
I was standing on a crowded train today in Dublin. A young working-class lad and I started chatting about various stuff and at one point he said to me, "Kamala or Trump?" Normally I would self-censor to avoid the hassle, but he was a friendly lad so I looked him in the eye and whispered, "100% Trump." He got a big smile on his face and proceeded to tell me why it has to be Trump. We talked a little about the RFK endorsement and how important it is.
I'm humbled to think that people in Ireland (and other places too!) are so attuned to our upcoming election. We're fighting the good fight, and it's uplifting to know that others across the pond are caught up in this struggle too. Thank you.
I’m in commie New Zealand, and heard probably the most hilarious 20 mins of talk radio in my life during my drive to work on Thursday morning.
The radio DJ’s here have been shilling HARD for Kamala (because they’re all basically owned by the same US corporate media bosses).
Their topic for the morning was how wonderful Kamala is and how we should all be cheering her on. Their argument was that Trump and MAGA will always put America first, which would mean higher tariffs etc for us, but that Kamala would be a nice textbook globalist. “It’s strategically in our best interests…”
The hilarious part is that the general public simply weren’t having it. One guy called in and told them they were nothing but establishment shills, another called the Dems an “existential threat to humanity”, an old lady told them she would pray for them (that REALLY triggered them, lol). They started reading out text messages coming in to the show, and there was literally nothing but:
“Trump 2024”
“MAGA forever”
“The only way he loses is if they rig it again”
There wasn’t a single pro-Kamala caller or texter, and it was driving the 2 faggot radio DJ’s nuts. They kept whining that we need to “think strategically” and that “Kamala is in our bests interests from a trade standpoint”, but no one cared.
People world wide are sick and fuckin tired of the shit show.
It says a lot that the anti-Trump talking points in other countries are asserting that an establishment clown would be better since they won't put their own country first, and will instead put the rest of the world first, which would of course be beneficial to these other countries.
Then they'll spend a 10-minute segment prattling on about how virtuous they are for fighting against climate change to save humanity, all the while pretending that they didn't just go from "who cares what happens to those stupid Americans?" to "you're a bad and uncompassionate person if you don't eat ze bugs!"
