Bruh. Most millennials don't want communism. Most of them just want to save the environment, which is the most important issue today.

Perhaps the GOP would have better luck attracting those young votes they so desperately need if they spent more time listening to their problems and proposing real solutions rather than lazily deploying McCarthyist scaremongering tactics to call them something they’re not

Although it is apparent the real target audience of the meme is boomers who have very little understanding of what makes Millennials tick and even less desire to learn more

So I will suggest to you what was suggested to liberals in the aftermath of their 2016 election defeat: why don’t you embark on a listening tour across the country? Learn about and engage with those populations that didn’t vote for you? Retool your approach and come back stronger next time?

Maybe not double-triple-quadruple-quintuple down on the whole Trump business?

Just tips from a friend, you don’t have to tell anyone where you got them from

(Classic Hollywood meme deliberately chosen to subtly suggest that American liberalism has a long tradition, and cannot be dismissed as a newfangled millennial creation)

Well look here, Kamikaze is back to being KylieFan. What happened to 89?

I think in the post-Trump era, the democrat party will not have a singular point to rally against, and generate voter turnout against. In other words, there's no way the democrats can legitimately turn out the number of voters in 2024 that they turned out in 2020.

I suspect that Biden won't be the democrat candidate in 2024 (although that old geezer may surprise us!) and along with him would go a certain amount of hard-wired working class voters. Without Biden, the overly progressive Harris may be the party's choice.

If so, in addition to your very good advice for the republican party, I suggest the democrat party attempt to reconnect with its roots as the party of the working class. There's nothing wrong and a lot right with being the advocate party for social justice issues, but from a purely marketing standpoint they can't be so 'pro' for those issues that the average religious working class voter feels isolated from the party's core values. That may appeal to the wealthy coastal urban liberal elites, but not so much so to their lunch pail core in flyover country. If they don't get in touch with their working class roots, they're very possibly, imo, in for another situation in which a populist, pro-working class candidate from the republican side will significantly and possibly permanently (at least as permanent as things can be in politics) take those voters away from the democrats.

And that doesn't necessarily mean not 'not doubling-tripling-quadrupling-quintupling down' "on the whole Trump business." The only thing wrong with the whole Trump business was Trump's personality. If the republicans can hit the political jackpot and find a candidate who can express Trump's views better than Trump did (and how hard should that be, really?) or a candidate with those same views but somewhat moderated to smooth out the rough edges, the democrats could find themselves in another 2016-type situation.

If Republicans can only muster up Trump as the 2024 candidate, I bet you to be wrong on Democrats getting a 2020 turn out again.

It would be best for everyone that we not have Trump or even a Trump run for 2024. Not even Ivanka. Republicans would do well to distance themselves from Trump as far as possible.

When I was a teenage know-it-all, I held right-libertarian, white grievance-oriented political views not too dissimilar than what you would find every day around here in "politics."

Now I am an older know-it-all, who has learned more, has seen more of the world, and knows more things, and now knowing more things, I'm more liberal as a consequence.

The old saw that people grow more conservative as they age just wasn't true in my case.

What happened to me as I aged is that I grew more comfortable in my social and financial standing in life, more charitable, more empathetic, more sensitive to the ties that bind us together as a society, how fragile those ties are, and how quickly they can unravel especially when the leader of our country hacks away at them on a daily basis.

Yes, the Trump years were certainly a wake-up call.

I voted Democrat for the first time in my life in '20 and I'm not looking back.

ROFL. You actually believe you're a know-it-all, absolutely hilarious. You're a fraud. You've lied about being a lawyer and you've lied about being married. I seriously doubt you've ever left your own State.
There is some truth to your ridiculous statement. You are older than when you were a teenager, but you haven't grown up or matured at all.
Your social standing is exactly the same today as it was 10 years ago, it's non-existent. It's why you spend your days begging for attention on Flip.
Your financial standing consists of your weekly allowance.

It's easy to convince yourself to believe your lies, convincing others to believe your lies is something entirely different.
Keep pretending, KylieClown.
