It's fascinating how consistently wrong you are. Trump support is lower amongst millennials than Gen Z. This idea that people who are younger and more naive are the most anti-Trump group is a fantasy.

GMS, I am thirty-fucking-two and have been moving further and further leftward since I was 17.

Please kindly drop the "leftism is for children" attitude at the fucking door.

GMS, I posted 2 links of Republicans calling democrats, democrat cultists, one of those referred to young democrats as democrat cultists. I have never said leftism is for children. I posted about a Pro Trump Republican on my majority Pro Trump Republican political forum site I post on calling Democrats, Democrat Cultists, lol I am sure and we are sure they dont like it, strongly disagree and strongly object to being called Democrat Cultists, but they dont have any problems calling me and us Republicans Trump Cultists. It doesent even bother me, because we are not Trump Cultists we are Proud Republican Trump supporters, who support the Policies we like and love and they hate and there is nothing wrong with it.

Why do you say GMS at the start of your posts like that? Are you literally a bot?

[Nilokeras]

That's nice of 'em

You're overlooking that troops that are paid by a donor won't be loyal to the state. This is dangerous shit; refer to my above post about how this behavior was partially responsible to the death of the Roman Republic.

It’s worth making the distinction here that the really dangerous path the Romans walked down wasn’t that regular pay was coming from private hands, it was that wannabe usurpers were expected to bribe them on top of their pay in the form of cash bonuses to ensure their loyalty.

The dangerous path the US is turning down isn’t the redirection of military loyalty to private ends, but of finding out what happens when you try to play political games with the soldiers’ pay or worse withhold them completely.

It’s not really a mistake the Romans made often, since most of the time they followed Septimius Severus’ lesson to his children: be harmonious, enrich the soldiers and scorn all other men.

It's genuinely fascinating that not everyone seems to share the concept of there being an objective reality which we all, from our own imperfect perspectives, observe.

This is the end result of decades of disinformation and conspiracy theories: a post-truth way of thinking.

You are not required to state verbatim "leftism is for children" to clearly hold or espouse that view. You blatantly hold it, per the post I was replying to:

Unsurprising, then, is that amongst those most likely to vote Democrat and to be members of the cult of Wokeism are those still in school or those who have only recently first entered the real world and have not yet had the chance to fully test reality against the teachings of their cult masters.

The statement is not from me, it is from the person who wrote it, I dont have to agree with every word any sources say, which you interpret in your own words.

If you are leaning more to the left or are a leftist of any kind, I dont care, it does not bother me. If any of you support and vote for President Obama, Hakeem Jeffries, Hillary, Bernie Sanders, Biden, Kamala Harris, Zohran Mamdani, AOC or any leftist democrats, real leftists, communists or socialists of any kind, I dont care, it does not bother me.

But there are x number of leftist democrats, real leftists and other anti Trumps on NS and off NS, who care and have a problem with me and us Republicans supporting and voting for President Trump and the Republicans.

But it is not a problem, it is their problem.

While it is fair to poibt that out, yours is over approval of Trump, DDHQ is about voter registration, which is more long-term. I do know women are more liberal. It should be noted however women also shifted right vs 2020 per pew: https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/20 ... -election/

I have had to take the relevant passage from the analysis of black voter trends because for women the comment is simply "pretty stable", but:

Black men and women alike were more likely to vote for Trump in 2024 than in 2020. One-in-ten Black women and 21% of Black men voted for Trump in the most recent election.

Increased shares of Black voters who favored Trump were driven not by individuals shifting their preferences, but by changes in who turned out to vote. While some Black voters did indeed switch from Biden in 2020 to Trump in 2024, these defections were largely canceled out by Black voters who switched in the opposite direction.

Women (and blacks) did not "move right" (by all of two points, in women's case).

More Democrat women stayed home in 2024 than in 2020 because they were not energised enough to go. It's all about turnout.

Apologies, should have clarified. Women under 50 shifted from +22 Biden, to +14 Kamala, an 8-point swing

[Slembana]

there's only two options with Trump

either he lives to 103 and goes out looking like a rotting pumpkin, or he dies like two months from now and doesn't even make it through one year of his term.

nothing in between.

and something in my gut tells me it's going to be the latter. it just feels cosmically right for someone who is both the living avatar of the entire Republican movement and the obsessive focus point for the entirety of his opposition to die suddenly and leave everyone in the lurch. A real 'Waiting for the Barbarians' moment in the making:

What are we waiting for, assembled in the forum?

-- The barbarians are due here today. --

Why isn’t anything going on in the senate?
Why are the senators sitting there without legislating?

-- Because the barbarians are coming today.
What’s the point of senators making laws now?
Once the barbarians are here, they’ll do the legislating. --

Why did our emperor get up so early,
and why is he sitting enthroned at the city’s main gate,
in state, wearing the crown?

-- Because the barbarians are coming today
and the emperor’s waiting to receive their leader.
He’s even got a scroll to give him,
loaded with titles, with imposing names. --

Why have our two consuls and praetors come out today
wearing their embroidered, their scarlet togas?
Why have they put on bracelets with so many amethysts,
rings sparkling with magnificent emeralds?
Why are they carrying elegant canes
beautifully worked in silver and gold?

-- Because the barbarians are coming today
and things like that dazzle the barbarians. --

Why don’t our distinguished orators turn up as usual
to make their speeches, say what they have to say?

-- Because the barbarians are coming today
and they’re bored by rhetoric and public speaking. --

Why this sudden bewilderment, this confusion?
(How serious people’s faces have become.)
Why are the streets and squares emptying so rapidly,
everyone going home lost in thought?

-- Because night has fallen and the barbarians haven't come.
And some of our men just in from the border say
there are no barbarians any longer. --

Now what’s going to happen to us without barbarians?
Those people were a kind of solution.

I mean he's pretty close to looking like a rotted pumpkin

I’ve described him before as looking like a sack of mouldy potatoes.

Gavin Newsom says he will consider White House run after 2026 elections (CBS News)
By Robert Costa

Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who has become one of President Trump's most high-profile adversaries, told "CBS News Sunday Morning" in an exclusive interview that he will consider whether to run for president after the 2026 midterm elections.

In an interview taped Thursday in San Jose, Newsom was asked whether he would give "serious thought" to a White House bid once next year's midterm elections are over.

"Yeah, I'd be lying otherwise," Newsom replied. "I'd just be lying. And I'm not — I can't do that."

Newsom, whose term ends in January 2027 and is prevented from running again due to term limits, cautioned that any decision is years away.

"Fate will determine that," he said, when asked about whether he is moving closer to working out a reason for a national candidacy.

Newsom, 58, has made trips to key battleground states, including a visit this past July to South Carolina, which as of now is slated to host the first Democratic primary in the 2028 presidential election, although that could change.

During that trip, which featured multiple stops and was covered by "CBS News Sunday Morning," Newsom met with state Democratic leaders and stopped by a coffee shop to rally activists and help employees serve espresso drinks.

"I happen to, and thank God, I'm in the right business," Newsom said in the interview, when asked about his evident enjoyment in meeting Democrats in South Carolina. "I love people. I actually love people."

Newsom said talk of him possibly running for president, after facing challenges throughout his life, including dyslexia, is a reminder to him that lives can go in surprising directions.

"I have no idea," Newsom said of whether he will decide to run. "The idea that a guy who got 960 on his SAT, that still struggles to read scripts, that was always in the back of the classroom, the idea that you would even throw that out is, in and of itself, extraordinary. Who the hell knows? I'm looking forward to who presents themselves in 2028 and who meets that moment. And that's the question for the American people."

Newsom said his focus now is on passing Proposition 50, a California ballot measure he has championed that would allow state Democrats to temporarily change the boundaries of U.S. House districts and make them more favorable to the party. Newsom has cast his effort, which will be decided in a special election next week, as a response to Mr. Trump's push for Republican-controlled states, like Texas, to change their congressional maps so the GOP has a better chance at holding on to its narrow House majority next year.

"I think it's about our democracy. It's about the future of this republic. I think it's about, you know, what the Founding Fathers lived and died for, this notion of the rule of law, and not the rule of Don," Newsom said.

Tensions have run high ahead of the vote, with both parties seeing redistricting efforts as critical to achieving their goal of winning the U.S. House majority next year. Whichever party holds control of the House has subpoena and oversight powers over the Executive Branch.

"We've got hundreds and hundreds, ICE and Border Patrol," Newsom told Proposition 50 supporters on Thursday at a labor event, referring to federal agents in the state. Newsom predicted their presence might increase ahead of the Nov. 4 special election.

"Don't think for a second we're not going to be seeing more of that through Election Day," Newsom said. "These guys are not screwing around."

In recent days, the Justice Department said it would send its own monitors to supervise the special election in California and the gubernatorial election in New Jersey. Newsom has denounced the move, calling it a Trump administration move to intimidate Democrats. The goal, according to the Justice Department, is "to ensure transparency, ballot security, and compliance with federal law."

While Newsom has long been a fixture in California, his foray into presidential politics generated intense interest last year when he was a fierce defender of President Joe Biden, especially in the wake of Biden's debate performance against Mr. Trump, which prompted many Democrats to call for Biden to exit the 2024 race.

Newsom, however, never wavered on Biden's candidacy. In the days before Biden dropped out of the race, Newsom stumped for him nationwide, including in New Hampshire.

Speaking with "CBS News Sunday Morning" there in July 2024, about a week before Biden left the race, Newsom said he was "all in" on Biden.

"No daylight," Newsom said of his alliance with Biden at the time.

According to sources close to both Newsom and Biden, the two men are close and have stayed in touch since Biden left the White House. Newsom is also friendly with former President Barack Obama, who has offered support for Proposition 50 and joined Newsom and volunteers on a video call last week.

Not terribly surprising news.
