Losing the Young to America
Timothy Birdnow
Remember the vaunted "youth vote" that was going to drive the Democrats to perpetual power, a new "era of good feelings"? Well...
New Yale Polling is Devastating to the Future of the Democratic Party
FTA:
Granted, this poll was conducted by UNDERGRADUATES so it's accuracy could be disputed. But it's interesting to note how large the margins have grown. Even if it's way off it still means the Democrats are in big trouble with the youth vote.
Of course the youths don't vote all that much, and they will change their minds in time probably. Building on a youth vote is like building a house on a sand dune. But usually the young become more conservative as they age, not less.
The article continues:
That is to be expected; the voters aged 22-29 came of age during the Obama ejaculation, and were inculcated with the mythos of Progressivism. Also, they had just gotten out of college where they were radicalized. The younger generation now has an example of how things work outside of the realm of Progressivism, something the older grop didn't have (except the first Trump term but that was marred by the endless propaganda against Trump and of course the pandemic which diverted their attention from Trump's success.)
And remember if you are 18 years old you spent a few years being educated at home, not in the clutches of the NEA; that makes all the difference in the world. A 14 year old kid being home-schooled, even if via Zoom, is much harder to brainwash than one who is under the watchful eye of the Kommissars of public Schooling.
So perhaps their scheme to drive Trump from office has come back to bite the Left. At least it appears the younger generation hasn't adopted the radicalism of their elders.
The problem with attempting to change how people thinnk is that everything you do can have allow it all to slip through your fingers. The American mind is like a river, the Mississippi, say. You build dams and flood walls and levees to try to keep it in it's course, a course you planned for it for your own use and benefit, but lose your grip for one moment and the thing returns to it's original course, often flooding whole towns in the process. In the case of the brainwashing of America the Left has to constantly labor to keep the thinking moving in the channel chosen by the intelligentsia. This is done with constant reinforcement, via movies, television, lower and higher education, etc. These are the levee walls designed to channel the flow. Once in a while there is a flood and a breech but usually they can repair it. Now though the pressure has built up too muchas they have pushed to hard - tried to channel all the water into a tight confined area. It's bursting through now and they are finding they are losing their grip to a degree. Covid was one such overreach. So too is the trans movement and the unrestricted immigration. Had they done these one at a time it would have worked but they went for the whole thing at once and the public has rebelled. The levee is now breeched and the water is flooding out and attempting to return to it's original course.
This will call for drastic action on their part. Watch for it.
At any rate America is a bigger place than the machinations of the Left and it is reasserting itself in the minds of the young. God Himself created America and anointed her and these Progressive types are attempting to overthrow God and Natural Law and the United States of America. Not so easy a job. (For those who doubt that statement about God creating America one need but look at the multiple miracles of the Revolution. Washington was almost killed repeatedly and miraculously saved. Catching the British and Cornwallis in their own trap at Yorktown was nothing short of miraculous! In the War of 1812 the British army retreated from Washington D.C. in utter defeat without Americans firing a shot - God Himself waged war on the British army, sending tornadoes through their camp, striking them with lightning, etc. The soldiers there were terrified; they understood what was happening - Old Testament wrath was being poured out on them!)
So now the Left is losing a whole new generation to America. And it's their own fault.

New Yale Polling is Devastating to the Future of the Democratic Party
FTA:
The poll, conducted in early April and released this week, surveyed 4,100 registered voters nationwide, including a targeted oversample of 2,025 voters between the ages of 18 and 29.
Conducted by undergraduate researchers at Yale University, the survey measured voter sentiment across a range of political and cultural topics, including immigration, free speech, and public safety.
Among the most notable findings, President Donald Trump now holds a net favorability of +7 among 18–21 year-old men, while Harris has fallen to a net -48 in the same demographic — a 55-point gap between the two.
The latest Yale Youth Poll confirms the trend we’ve seen at one campus after another: The youngest voters have turned sharply to the right. Yale found 22-29 year olds favored Democrats by ONLY 6.4 points. But kids of college age, 18-21, lean Republican by almost 12 (!!

Voters aged 22–29 still leaned slightly Democratic on the generic congressional ballot, favoring Democrats by 6.4 points.
However, those aged 18–21 leaned Republican by 11.7 points, marking a double-digit swing to the right among the youngest segment of eligible voters.
