    I wouldn’t have agreed with you a week ago but I think you’re right. I live in Loudoun county Virginia which is quite blue. My oldest kid who is 15 asked me if I was really voting for Harris, because he and his friends like Trump more. Then my second oldest who is 11 also told me he likes Trump more than Harris.

    My family is Dutch Canadian so it’s not like anyone in my family was speaking positively about Trump. Quite the opposite actually.

    They are getting all these ideas online and conservatives are absolutely crushing the digital landscape with podcasts and YouTube. They are making connections with the youth that the dems just aren’t offering right now.

      It’s because they’re offering easy answers to complicated problems. No one wants to listen to me explain for 45 minutes why something is an issue that dates back three decades and will probably require three more decades of fixing, they just want to feel good now.
