I did read it and it's completely baseless. You're predicating your point on the completely fabricated notion that illegals and/or non-citizens vote. They don't. The election was very close and the gains made by pubs don't really reflect a measurable change in society at all.
jFunk (@jminifunk.bsky.social) reply parent
Pubs are dismantling democratic norms - fact They're doing it to force society to the right - fact. Societal norms have been moving leftward over the past 50 years - fact This leftward movement shows no signs of stopping - fact If you are going to run away, at least be honest about it.
jFunk (@jminifunk.bsky.social) reply parent
Sex-change surgeries are rare in people under 18 and did not move the needle. The economy is critical but it was actually growing at the time of the election and "concepts of a plan" isn't an viable strategy so it was clearly something else that compelled people to vote for a convicted criminal.
jFunk (@jminifunk.bsky.social) reply parent
The move to the right is just reactionary but not sustainable - which is why the Pubs are trying to dismantle democratic norms and force the shift. Societal norms have been moving left slowly but steadily and show no signs of stopping.

The pubs in charge now are using the DEI boogeyman to remove almost every lesbian and gay mention they can find. State pubs are ignoring their constituents. The trans issue didn't sway people to Trump who weren't already going to.

Younger male voters, specifically. Conservatives in red states voted locally to preserve abortion rights despite also voting for Trump - but now we are seeing state republicans back-slide on that and ignore the people. Older pubs did care about gay rights/marriage but they lost and dropped it...

I am informed just fine. Despite your hope that young people will always become conservative, actual evidence supports trends such as growing support for abortion rights, LGBTQ rights, recognition of systemic racism and a rejection of white-washed history. Also, a drop off in church attendance...

Illegals can't vote and there is no actual evidence that they ever vote. Just unsubstantiated conspiracy theories that amount to nothing. The only real evidence that ever seems to creep up is folks in rural areas playing fast and loose with collecting votes.

They're popular with young men but the bulk of their electorate is 60+. Dems have always been feckless opportunists but low approval ratings or not, they won't have difficulty winning when 12-15% of the opposition is dead. Why do you think the Pubs are so desperate to control elections?
jFunk (@jminifunk.bsky.social) reply parent
Depends on what the network values. Many shows were cancelled despite having millions of viewers and many that continue to lose money stay on the air. If CBS is just ditching the dying late night slot, so be it. If they replace Colbert with a more compliant, conservative entry, however...
jFunk (@jminifunk.bsky.social) reply parent
Young men are finding out that they aren't as competitive when they don't have their advantages. Women, in particular, are crushing them in higher education. Instead of upping their game, however, they are putting their energy into taking down the institutions that don't pander to them.

Let me step back here. I 100% want Newsom utterly out of the picture and I believe he is too poisonous to run as anything other than a Republican. My original point wasn't based on primaries, it was based on people bailing out once the choices have been decided upon.
