The Republican Utopia

It's crazy that Nazi/white supremacy stuff just keeps happening with Trump and his circle. I'll be interested to how they hand wave this one. Although I do think it's more of a bonus to much of his base than it is a problem. I really wonder how much of it is actually their beliefs or more a signal to their supporters to keep them fired up. Maybe a distraction because his supporters don't care and it gets the left angry because they don't like Nazis.

I 100% believe this is the case.

The executive branch and its handlers/supporters of the US govt love to troll Americans.

They are just unserious people.

I have a 23 and a 21 year old and can concur that the backlash against DEI and wokism has indeed encouraged a new generation of toxic and misogynistic a$$h@!es. Tik Tok is just one place they peddle their bro culture horses#!t.

That’s one uninformed way to look at it I guess.  I’m quite certain that my two boys are not toxic and misogynistic a$$h@!es nor are any of the friends they have come to hang out with or I’ve crossed paths with.   But we don’t live in CA either so can’t speak to that culture.  

It’s possible that the everyone gets a trophy crowd is upset that maybe not everyone is gonna get a trophy for the time being!

The thing is there are so many things to use to troll the left with. It's an interesting thing to use to troll with. Haha I got you guys so good but acting like a Nazi.

Yeah, it wasn't just brain fried 16 year olds making that claim. It was people who know a lot more on the subject than you. If it makes you feel better to downgrade genocide to atrocities, have at it. But take comfort that your preferred authoritarian narrator won this particular messaging battle.

AlJazeera?!?!?!?    LOL.  That is now considered a venerable news source.   What’s next CommieTV or TheHamas Network!

I do think that a large part of the youth backlash was anti-woke stuff, even most woke issues are underwater with registered Democrats! What is not explained is how youth voters, who for 60 years have voted much more left than the general public and are the least politically engaged demographic in the country suddenly voted 43 points to the right compared to 4 years ago. This Demographic just so happens to cite Tik Tok as their primary "news". That kind of thing doesn't happen in a vaccum. Even in the event of a 9/11 type of unifying scenario, I don't know if you'd see that kind of swing.

It’s really not that hard to understand when you think about how youths tend to think/act.   
 

Many want to go against the grain of what’s they perceive as being forced upon them.   COVID vaccine mandates/Can’t go to in person school and play the sports I like/Get passed over for college acceptance because I don’t fit a specific demographic/continually being told white males are the problem by Democrat political and think tank individuals on the left/seeing their parents really really struggle financially……..

Well, it’s mostly been Democrat policies driving those things and easy to see why at least the white males are gravitating to the correct side.  The abortion debate is played out and over.  It’s now down to  a state level decision, so nationally the slightly older female group of which one of my daughters resides (22-28) has moved a little right because of financial issues.   Abortion access for enough young women wasn’t as important as affording a home, buying groceries, having money left over to do the young adult thing of dinner with friends/attend weddings and afford doing it/ etc.  

Most of our history GOP was the party of saying “no” and majority of youths wanted the free candy option of democrats and voted accordingly until they finally figured out the free candy wasn’t really the best option now that they are diabetic.  Not the case so much anymore.

My point is...anyone finding hateful stuff is literally looking for hateful stuff.  Not that it is not on their but that they are trying to find it and they are watching it.

And if not on til tok, they will find it somewhere else on the interwebs.   Or at least try to.

I think it's accurate to say that today's youth are getting their brains fried by social media, causing huge swaths of young men to gravitate towards toxic people like Andrew Tate and others. 

But I also think the average left wing voter doesn't understand how unpopular woke stuff is. I'm a reliable Democrat and these things are crazy even to me. And most woke issues only have ~30% approval rates among self identified Democrats! It cannot be stated enough that the woke culture war has been resoundingly defeated, and not just by Republicans.

Andrew Tate and people like him are jokes and should be frowned upon.   If you did a deep dive, what you will find is his popularity is actually waning over time and young people are understanding what he truly is 

 
Okay, I caught almost none of his address today...BUT I did see that he said all federal workers are going BACK to the office!

f#&% YES!

Get out of your jammies, stop waking up 1 minute before work starts, stop going to the gym during the day and running errands while you are supposed to be working. 

GET TO WORK AND GET TO THE OFFICE

Work From Homers are almost as annoying as Firemen.  

Except for the ones that actually own it and come out and say "Working from home is awesome because it so easy for me and I can do tons of my own stuff during the day"

Really, you have no idea if searching for college football content might have a good chance of feeding me content from some of the biggest celebrities and commentators related to college football?

I don't know...But it sounds like the answer would be yes.

So what the hell would you have to type in to get hateful stuff?  I mean, you would clearly be looking for it.  

I can't imagine that if I type in "Husker Football" that I will get Nazi videos.
