Donald Trump thought he was cruising to victory against Joe Biden, but now he's facing a hard fight against Kamala Harris. Jon Stewart looks at Trump's half-...
Eh, I’m pretty not trump, but even without trump I disagree with about 90% of their BS culture war platform. It’s funny, they always say that as you age you become more conservative. That very well could have been true if this was the 90s and I was where they were then, but man has that party gone out of their way to make sure I have no interest in voting for them.
I don’t think people actually get more conservative as they get older, I think they just like the way things were, or don’t agree with new changes to society. Progressive progresses, that’s what it does. So eventually the ideals from a progressive movement you supported as a young person becomes something you want to conserve, but the movement has gone off into left field, to a place where you don’t agree. Congratulations, now you’re labeled a conservative! Now for whatever the fuck the Republican party has become, that’s not conservative. That’s a clown show, intent on grifting and strife.
and there you go, that’s my point of view too. Maybe I would have been a conservative by your definition - but they’re so far beyond that. It’s not driven by conserving, it’s driven by greed and hate, and I just can’t get behind it. Plus their idea of conserving is the 50s and 60s, a very different time from when I would want to conserve.
I think that’s what’s so interesting about something like Roe being repealed. To them, their generation, they went back to something. For my generation, Millennials, (and Gen X, and now Gen Z), they didn’t go back to something. They had something ripped away from them. Roe was something that was a given, it was a right they had, one that they no longer have. So yeah, for conservatives they’ve been focusing for so long on holding onto an America that’s long gone, by doing that they’ve been removing rights from younger people.
And I think younger people are pissed the fuck off by it. Vote younger folks! We already outnumber them by a large margin, just VOTE
So was Biden.
Interesting, since “not Trump” has been the main argument for the Democrats for 8 years now.
