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.

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.

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

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

People always come in with this fact as if 40/60 isn’t first of all a total disaster and second of all if without the gender swing Trump wouldn’t have won every single state

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

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!

It took 24/7 propaganda and 100 percent control of the institutions by the far left woke Democrats to cause this to happen. Young White people constantly attacked by these institutions have internalized self hatred of themselves. I wonder if it will stay this way forever? Can our side win over minds when the left still controls all the institutions culturally? When people ask Elon Musk to do more with his money, I think they mean form some parallel cultural instituions with money be it colleges, entertainment, or media.

I was young and naive when I helped at the precinct. I would take a vacation day from work to help for elections. What I've learned is that I was HAD by Bush people. All the Lincoln Day dinners and luncheons I attended were a mistake. Those Candidates despised me and my conservatism. They shook my hand w disgust. I voted for Pat Buchanan 3 times. He was Maga before it was cool. The Bush folks were Uniparty! Have Mercy! Thanks!

Pat Buchanan was a hero. When he passes away, God Forbid, but he is 87 years old now about to turn 88, I would hope Scott can do an IQ supplement on him

I'm Sure he can and should! There is another young man I follow on Substack who will do so , but I forgot his name. Forgive Me Please, I am not young. The American Conservative you can get online. That is Patty Joes' Gift to Us. The TAC is still speaking Truth to the Establishment! I loved Rush, but early on Bush 41 smoozed him to the Lincoln Bedroom in the Whitehouse. Oh Well, lobbyists happen! Blessings to you and yours!

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.

Right wing politics are for adults.

You should only quote the polls of White zoomers, otherwise they're worthless. Of course latinos don't want their parents deported!

democracy is a sham, that's all that is needed to be said.

I think you're correct, which is a shame, because it dooms the west to becoming Brazil. Without resecuring demographics, the youth will continue to veer left anyways. Winning over the olds is a stopgap measure, but this is the problem with democracy, it kicks the can down the road until no more road.

I voted in the Florida primary. I didn't know much about the candidates, but I thought that the teachers union would be there with a voter card, and I would vote against all their recommendations.

That wasn't the case (apparently a law against voter cards), but the volunteers told me to do chatgpt to find what I want. I asked for DeSantis endorsements and voted for them. DeSantis didn't endorse a governor. The front runner was a black guy (bad) that couldn't win his endorsement (bad) so I didn't vote for him. I voted for the guy ranked second in the polling, even though I thought he was too far behind for it to matter.

Beyond that I voted for people that were right coded (prosecutor) and against people left coded (hyphenated last name). If I was totally clueless I didn't vote (agricultural commissioner).

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

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.

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