Young people have always voted left wing but Gen Z's may be elevated because they are woke which is a unique psychological event/fad.

Ultimately though even in the next year and a half it's plausible things could change, Spiderman No Way Home was released about 16 months ago and in that time and the release of Ant Man 3 and Shazam 2 the superhero era has passed the hill and lost something juice wise imo, while it's based on a small sample size of two movies I think most of us can feel it gut wise that something has shifted. Likewise by a year and a half from now the woke era could pass the hill and if not, then Republicans just have to suck it up and wait for it to happen by 2028.

I think the anti-woke movement bolstered DeSantis, but the amount folks like DeSantis have swung so far socially right has kinda led the GOP to shoot themselves in the foot when a more moderate route ala Youngkin would have been the better route.

Biden's proposal on trans sports is pretty reasonable honestly saying that they have the choice to ban it for the high level serious athletics and not lose federal funding, but if conservatives schools start banning 12 year old trans girls from playing soccer or something just to prove a political point, it will be crossing a line and they will not be receiving the funding.

People are already sick of the woke movement since its mostly been taken over by idiots who have perverted the original intention of equality into some shit called equity which is basically just Racism 2.0.

However, Generation TikTok does not see this as a trend. They see tolerance and inclusivity for everyone as the defining political issue of their era. The Republicans will never win these people over without giving up on MAGA, but they'll also never win another general election without MAGA. Thus why they are going so hard on the voter suppression laws. It's the only chance they have for the future. They're in a tough spot but it's one they put themselves in just to stop Hilary Clinton.

Couldn't they win if they become Republican in name only? I'm sure a ton of swing voters and moderates would side with Republicans if they completely removed themselves from anything Trumpish, and generally just acted like a mature nuts and bolts political party.

But what happens when that 12 year old grows up and wants to compete professionally? If there's no place for them that will also be wrong. So I think it's more than just proving a point. You do it to deter such issues later on, no?

The real worst version of the Republicans the Bush era didn’t inspire as much hate in the time as Maga but in the long run may have caused the people who grew up in that time to go so hard left, the opposite may be true now where Gen Z may respect some things about Trump era Republicans positions in the long run more than they’re being told to now and end up with a softer moderate stance overall. Although since this is the worst version of the Democrats, the same principle would suggest the next generation of conservatives could have deep rooted anger and resentment towards the left.

As one of his constituents, Youngkin is not a moderate.

Sounds like wishful thinking on your part tbh

Youngkin is moderate like Biden is moderate - neither are really, the real moderates are ones stuck in middle of Democrat and Republican views like Sinema and Romney, while Biden and Youngkin are clear D/clear R, but they’re moderate “for their party” and more than AOC or MTG.

I think when most people think of “moderate” they think of personality and how they package themselves more than the actual policies. This is why Doug Ducey and Brian Kemp win Georgia and Arizona but Trump loses them, despite being as or more right wing.

You appeal to moderates by appearing effective and a capable leader. If moderates were partisan enough to care about how moderate someone’s policies were, they’d register as an R or D

This is why Desantis polls better with moderates and registered Democrats than Trump does. Even though his policies are more conservative

This is all actually a good point

DeSantis beats Biden in North-Carolina, Pennsylvania and Arizona, Trump loses in all three.

I’m skeptical Trump would lose NC, as he was behind in polling there in 2020 and still came out ahead, but yeah, it is Biden’s to lose if Trump is the nominee

The unforeseen reality of DeSantis winning the nomination is a Trump running as an independent

I think even Trump would realize what a waste of time it would be to split the Republican vote like that if he doesn’t have the party nomination

No moreso that he wouldn’t waste his own time and money.

Obviously he doesn’t care about anyone but himself or he’d withdraw from the race.

“Moderate” “extremist” are completely relative, subjective, insubstantial, almost arbitrary, inconsequential, and meaningless terms. It’s no different in any objective way than anything you would consider “tribal”.

RFK Jr is saying some good things. Hopefully he at least gets into debate with Biden.

RFK would be interesting as he would be someone to pull in some old Democrats who might have voted GOP in the last few election cycles.

So "buy my books" Marianne Williamson is the 2024 Berniebro candidate? Feels like a punt until AOC in 2028.

I long for the AOC presidency but I'm starting to worry that MTJ will beat her to the white house. Marjorie basically runs the party ever since McCarthy sacrificed his balls to win the speakership. Pretty telling that they think someone who believes the jews control the weather is on the same level of crazy as someone who believes the government could be doing more to help poor people.

Welp Biden is coming back for a sequel. I'm kinda surprised.

I think he will beat Trump (though I fear for what happens after. Trump doesn't go down quietly) but would lose to Desantis.
