    I’m baffled by the correlation of age and support of conservatives. How is their top demo the youngest one?

    Is social media / podcast bro brainrot really outdoing the common trope of getting more conservative with age?

      Try watching YouTube with a new email and watch your suggestions. If you watch a single right wing video that is all you will ever get.

      Same with tiktok and Instagram.

      Also young men aren’t interested in secondary education, they’re having trouble with jobs, women don’t want to date then due to their right wing views, so they’re doubling down even further.

      Alt-right pipeline is alive and flourishing. Check on your loved ones mental health and reach across the aisle with open arms if you can, block if you can’t. Try not to feed the trolls, and Godspeed!

      E: can to can’t

        Check on your loved ones mental health and reach across the aisle with open arms if you can, block of you can

        Are you advocating to block loved ones if their mental health is too far gone or am I misreading this?

          Good catch, meant to say “don’t block if you can” we need them to see our side. I’ll update my op.

          And to add context, this is a waiting game. I’m hopeful the factions align under progressive libs before cons. We all want a better place, we gotta keep moving forward. Regression is bad mkay

      The one Canadian MAGA in my family is my younger cousin. He had some rough economic and health times and the latter affected his cognitive ability. I feel really bad for him but he’s a true PP believer even through this.

        Dang so sorry to hear, I don’t known any vocal PP thumpers around me, but he’s just so bland but like not the normal Candian kinda way, like made in a lab way.
