that brought out the under 30 vote
Absolutely! Old people typically vote R and they always show up to the polls, young people typically vote D but they don't show up in the same numbers, but when SCOTUS overturned Roe V Wade, that gave the Dems a gift, it gave younger people, especially women, a big reason to vote, and they did. The other thing that hurt the R's were the Trump backed candidates, the election denying crazies, they all lost, the American people are tired of all the chaos and controversy that Trump brings with him, tired of all the crazy, so they voted against crazy. There are some on the right, Comrade Merlin included, who to their credit, now realize how bigly Trump hurt their chances Tuesday and have now soured on him, of course there will always be a certain percentage of the boot licking cultists who will never surrender and will insist the elections are all rigged, clearly there's no hope for them, but at least many on the right realize just what Trump is all about and want nothnig to do with him anymore. Speaking as someone on the left, I hope Trump stays in the middle of it all, I hope he runs again and wins the nomination, I would love to run against him again, but I have a feeling there's a new sheriff in the GOP named Desantis, and for as much as I can't stand the guy, and the thnigs he stands for, he's extremely popular in the GOP, he's the one I fear, not Trump and his clown show. Assuming they both run, watching Trump and Desantis tear each other apart will be a lot of fun to watch, really looking forward to them going at it.
