I’m more surprised at just how consistently people linked to the Clintons are the worse sort of scum.
It’s like they’re drawn to each other like metal to a magnet.

I'm not; the Clintons were the biggest movers and shakers in establishment politics for decades, and only the worst sort of scum makes it big in politics.

Oh, lovely. They've sent me a mo-ron.

And the Taliban.
and the taliban, and the Iraqi insurgent groups, really a lot of people.

To be fair, he probably doesn't understand that conflict in general can occur without the outcome being predetermined.
That is true
That's goddamn horrifying. I mean, I know a lot of that is probably motivated by America's broken healthcare and drug industry ("Can't afford hundreds per month for life-saving insulin? Lol welp, have fun at the graveyard, peon!"), but positively on the whole?
Or perhaps the youth are tired of the same excuses for the economic woes of this nation and this generation that parents accepted, are tired of acting like the system will ever let the non-connected get ahead, and tired of the absurd cost of healthcare in the US after Biden undid Trump's price cuts.
Not to mention the fact that they don't truly get the horrors of socialism, or think the problems are overblown, and see it as a viable alternative to our current system.
The Dems are seeing the pay-off from their slow March through the institutions, the Wu Flu is showing how fragile our just-in-time capitalism is, and how many parts of it were only surviving off inertia, so I'm kinda not surprised by the numbers.
The Right has been trying to play the old game for too long, instead of adapting and countering the Dems actions, and now the Dems are in control of the culture and institutions.
If the Right ever truly makes a come back to the point they were at under Trump, it'll take a miracle and a lot of stupidity on the Dems part.
No one should expect the GOP to gain ground in the midterms, because the Dems will rig it anywhere they can, and where they don't need to rig things they already control the populace.
Trump was the Rights last, best hope, and I think we will see the Dems continue to rig any election that could actually meaningfully threaten thier power.

Good luck convincing them that it's not all faked, or worse than what the US has done in the past.
If they were the type to truly understand the horrors of socialism, they wouldn't support it; those who support it either do not understand it, or have a twisted view that the history of capitalism is worse.
Or they believe they will be the ones in the Politibureau while sending us to the gulags.
I will tell them straight up. Talk to North Korean defectors. Talk to those who escaped the CCP. The USSR. Escaped Cuba!
