2026 Midterm Elections Thread

These are both very naive takes IMO. People aren't "falling" for anything, they're knowingly voting for white supremacy.

A lot of Gen Z have been social media'd into being Hitler youths and the economy being bad will probably just radicalize them even more. We'd all like to think this shyt will end when Trump goes away but I doubt it. They'll probably just rally around whoever they see as the next Trump.

Trump is an outlier tho. Nobody has demonstrated the ability to foment a cult like him. Unless he tells his cult members to follow his sons, the GOP has nobody with the same juice.

And young gen z women are feminists. The gender gap will grow but if Trump crashes the economy there isn’t any amount of propaganda that can keep Gen Z indoctrinated when reality overrules internet memes

This is debatable. Take a look at how hard right wingers are pushing the "trad wife" movement. Basically they want to pair up gen Z women with these mini hitler gen Z white guys.

Why do you think millennials are so much more progressive than gen X and gen Z?

Millenials grew up with mass media WITHOUT propagagnda/algorithms. We had the best of both worlds too. Old tech (DVDs, VHS, block buster etc.) and new tech (smart phones, streaming, blogs etc.). No one will ever be as progressive as us again due to how we grew up. Growing up during the late 90s, the 2000s, and early 2010s was really a time. Around 2015 algorithms startted being put into social networks, facebook etc.
Also its around 2014 that these white billionaires started pumping money into politics because of Citizens United. Citizens United basically doomed us:


Honestly if it hadnt been for citizens united, the 2020s would have been similar to the 2010s except more inflation (socially and politically). Black baby boomers made 3 major mistakes: 1) They let citizens united slide. that shyt should've been treated with more urgency.... thats how important it was 2) Black boomers didnt stress to black millenials how important it was to carry shyt forward. Black culture basically stopped with black millenials. Our generation really believed that racism was over so we puhsed intergration the most..... to the point where today we have no defenses aginst these racists. 3) Black boomers should've protected themsleves against 2008 better. that even basically wiped out black wealth in one fell swoop

They'll rally around the tech bros. There's a very real eugenics movement playing out right now. Trump is a saint compared to the marc andreesens, elon, thiel , karp etc.

Not gonna happen, trad wife movement actually makes women more liberal and democratic. Trad wife is pushed by incels which definitionally repulses women.

You haven’t seen the articles that state Gen Z men especially the ones chronically online suffer from chronic dry dikk

algorithms at the time weren't geared towards the right, social justice in general wasn't. Less rabbit holes.

Correct. Around 2015 you start seeing white boys gearing the algorithms towards their reactioanry viewpoints. It's why there was a "right wing pipeline" trend during 2015-2017 where kids kept getting recommended youtube videos that were anti black, anti women, and pro white nationalism.

You'd be surprised. plenty of women (especially women of color) are willing to threw away their politics if it means getting taken care of by some white boy who was handed a job by billionaires like Felon Musk. Especially in this economy.

It's why the right wanted to kill tiktok, because at that time because it was originally the only mass media algorithm that leaned to the left; now that's basically gone due to dems capitulation which was caused by having israels dikk so far in their mouth. It's why superpacs need to be killed their essentially killing the left from inside.
