    Sometimes youngsters have to put their hand on the stove before they understand why they shouldn’t

    We can educate ourselves out of this.

    It's sad that with all these little name games the OP likes to play, one of the few politicians he shows deference to is the 34 time convicted felon/serial liar/abuser of women.

    Because they are the ones helped out by tax cuts of which 80% went to corporations and upper brackets?

    Highly doubtful.

    Keep in mind that although their percentage of voting for the Democratic candidate was lower than in past elections younger voters still cast their votes for "the cackler" by a significant margin. As with voters in general within less than a year there's going to be significant "voters remorse among younger voters and when they discover that the Orange One's policies haven't improved their economic well being they're going to return to the Democratic Party for the 2026 midterms.

    More of them voted for The Cackler than for The Rapist.

    It’s a low risk bet for them. Lame duck President Musk has 2 years before the midterms. We’ll get Trump 2017 tax cuts tax extended and younger replacement for 2 SCOTUS judges. Meh. Nothing else will stick.

    Definitely. Inflation wasn’t global and the US absolutely had it the worst. We weren’t the only major economy in a recession. Definitely not. It’s all fake news.
