One white pill, young right-wingers are getting jobs in government and other relevant institutions. Unlike boomers and Gen X’s who went the used car salesman route.
I think we’re less than a generation away from senior management in most bureaucracies being led by our guys.
Basically if you like public/community based institutions you are more likely to be a dem/left. If you just want to go home to your house and family you are likely to be a gop. Its also in part why the liberals think its over when they lose elections and conservatives shrug their shoulders and wake up for work the next morning
Things are looking grim. Hopefully America will collapse and Balkanize, that way we can have our own state. That also has the upside of getting America’s boot off of Europe’s neck giving them a future
Never bet on the young with right-leaning politics. 80% of young people are left of center, and were even when the country was 90% white. Being young IS being left of center. Often way left. The 20% that are young right-wingers are dorks. I don't like them either.
There's a lot to unpack here. On the basic point, Greer is right that leaning on Zoomers is a losing strategy. I would take it a step further and say we shouldn't necessarily welcome Zoomers becoming the judges and so forth. How people feel about the world tends to crystallize in their 20s and stay relatively firm. What you'll get with Zoomers will be essentially a multi culti theocracy. A camp of the saints run by the catholic church or something. An Amy Coney Barrett romance novel. In a discussion between Joseph Cotto and Paul Gottfried from a few weeks ago, Greer's new book was mentioned. I disagreed with virtually everything Gottfried said during the discussion (he was defending the online podcast sphere and their obsessive focus on Israel. As an older man, he seemed entirely unaware of how juvenile and irrational they had become and had the mistaken impression it was just a Candace problem).
However, he made what I imagine might be a good point about Greer's book (I don't know for sure, never having read it) where he said Greer was much too optimistic in his idea that opposition to DEI and anti white racism will remain fixtures of the GOP agenda over the long term. While it was hypocritical of Gottfried to say the racial right was merely a fad while he defended the primacy of the already dwindling ICP, I think he was onto something in thinking Scott was a tad premature. With this article, Greer seems to be making Gottfried's case for him. Gen Z is not reliable for the right, even the right wing gen Z cohort are essentially anti-racist, to the point of opposing deportations, they're obsessed with jews, the candidates who cater to them lose and lose hard and most of them will vote for democrats in november. Right wing logic these days amounts to "I hate the boomers so much, I can't wait till they die so this country can become even more screwed up and anti racist, then we'll really own the jews". This movie is getting boring.
I wonder if they based it on the young Republicans text messages exposed as pro Germany 1930's and Nick Fuentes popularity with the youth. That is one side the Republican side under age 40 is more based but smaller than the Democratic parties youth in the city and DSA support. I assume young Democrats outnumber young Republicans 2 to 1. Fuentes popularity, and Tim Pool's, Scott Greer's popularity with the young dwarfs Sean Hannity's though.
I worked in my precinct for elections from '92-'04. Old people vote. Old people wait in line to vote. Old people are registered and sign petitions for candidates to avoid filing fees. Old people work, volunteer, at the party HQ. What I see young people do is face down on a screen. They are busy w themselves and that creates a hardness of heart or indifference to others. The young will have to grow up, old, first. Thanks!

Young RWers don't believe the "who carss what Harvard teaches, just focus on business" route
💯, old heads thought they were cooking when they coined this. They were proven completely wrong.

As I've said elsewhere, last 3 elections were men v women. Next 3 will be old v. young.

Right wing politics are for adults.
The good thing is that 30 to 44 year olds are only slightly more democratic. Certainly close enough for GOP to win the EC

Every ad I got in the mail from Donald’s catered to Boomers.
