    In true Republican fashion however, they've flubbed it. The youth is overwhelmingly for Democrats and outright loathes Republicans. Either controlling the poor hasn't turned out that effective for them*, or it's too early to see results. And in the meantime, they're killing their already aging and dwindling base.

    *I think they've failed to brainwash young poor children. The vast majority of people I graduated high school with a decade ago, in the Midwest, have become clearly liberal and Democrat. Even the ones who were conservative in school.

      They're targeting Gen Alpha though (and the one after that). Gen Z is just about out of K12, but their younger siblings have to deal with stuff like PragerU being part of the official curriculum. I hope the teachers can work around it, but it looks grim.
