Have you talked to Gen X lately? The 50-something white guy with shitty facial hair and Dave Matthews Band stickers on his pickup truck is a reliable conservative voter nowadays.

Senior voters have nothing better to do, that's why they're the most reliable.
If you want younger people to vote you've got to make time and room for them to do so, i.e. make election day a holiday.

Gen Z are still kids - the oldest in their early 20's. Kids are stupid.

If you make $1,000,000 per year you still have $969,300 to live on.
If you make $15,080 per year you have $14,617 to live on.
Hopefully you can see that at the lower income level. the tax has more of an impact on one's living standard than at the higher income levels. I would have no problem living on $900,000; $14,600 not so much.
Thus the classic definition of a regressive tax - more impact on a lower income person's life than a higher income person.
A recent proposal by a certain faction in Congress to scrap the Federal Income tax and replace it with a 30% sales tax is a Smash And Grab for the Wealthiest Folks who were ever Chauffeured around the Planet Earth.

Yeah, government is coming for your freedom. That's why we need to put more people in jail. Brilliant reasoning

I sincerely hope one of Trump's historical legacies is that his radicalization of the GOP caused Pennsylvania to turn bluer every election since 2016. He has single handedly set the GOP in non MAGA states back 10 years, or more. Guess he at least made Pennsylvania great again.

Like I said, history repeats itself.
If you don't think that Gen Z are navel gazers, allow me to present TikTok, r/imthemaincharacter, and look-at-me-ism.
I think Gen Z is comprised of a majority of good people, but there is a mega strain of narcissistic, self-righteous, attention whoring, and it is all laid out on social media.

I worked against them in the House for 5 years so I am painfully aware of their bullshit.

She's a crazy enabler. Fuck her, she ran interference for the king of the crazies. The reason the Republican crazies even have a shot at elections is because of fucks like Sarah Huckabee Sanders placating and trying to tap an unhinged voter base.

No, that just means you have to abide by others' bad choices from the primary because you had to stay home in May. I hate to say it, but in the primaries it's best to vote for the weakest candidate so that you can vote for the lesser of two evils in the general election.

Everyone pays the same percentage, how is that not fair? It treats everyone equally.

Jimmy Carter was an average Joe. Great guy, inept when it came to knowing how to navigate the Washington scum. I want more like Clinton and Obama in office.
It's such a shame that Hilary Clinton lost 2016. This country would have been so much better off economically and perhaps COvid would have not been as bad globally with a competent US lead.

Boomers are the only generation I can think of in human history who actively and deliberately made things worse for their own children so they could prolong their own hedonism a little longer.
They are a historically terrible generation.
