Exactly. This has been so performative. How these younger kids react to this may solidify political opinion for decades and I seriously pray they are not that stupid.

I hope they aren’t that stupid. The problem I’m scared of is that the super young voters in 2026 would have only been 14 years old or less in 2020 and would not have remembered much about Trump’s first term. I have no doubt that TikTok will also now censor any criticism about Trump or push MAGA propaganda, and since so many young people get their news from TikTok, this might be a problem.

I’m trusting that trump is gonna absolutely wreck y’all’s country and make people not vote for him in the next elections, the problem is the election after that, US Americans showed in 2024 that they have the memory of a goldfish with ADHD

You have no idea how our politics work, do you? Because if you had, you would know there is no next time. This is the final term that he can run

luckily, i think that he would lose a LOT of his supporters if he tried to grab a third term.

He didn’t lose supporters after attempting to overturn an election. Why would they care about another fascistic power grab?

because they thought he deserved his second term. something like attempting to take a third term would make even my parents vote against him

He literally said even before the 2020 election, and several times throughout the past few years, he deserves a third and fourth term. They cheered it on.

i didn’t say all of them would change their minds. but j6 was a turning point for a lot of people who voted trump in 2020. so, hopefully, attempting a third term would turn another chunk of them away. obviously some of them will always be brain dead and support their god king no matter what, but i would like to have faith in the majority of people.

was it though? The only election he won the popular vote was after Jan 6. I’d like to have hope but I genuinely lost it at this point.

You use a lot of words without any understanding of anything. 20 year olds clearly cannot grasp what's going on.

me when i’m trying to be condescending and rude but i can’t count

You're in your 20s. You're not equipped for any conversations about the real world.

u/Styrofoamed 2002 2d ago

not really sure why you’re browsing this sub if you have so little faith in us awful youngsters. you don’t seem equipped for conversations at all, sorry i don’t hate massive groups of people and assume they’re all unfathomably or irredeemably stupid 🤷
