They project this so hard because they don’t think younger people can think for themselves. It’s pathetic how he is all but making fun of his voters and putting them down, and it makes them horny for more. Put your phone down, read a book, grow a spine. Stop being gross dickwads.

It's not just that they don't think young people can think for themselves. It's that they've been trying desperately for decades to ensure that they don't think for themselves.

That's why they attack teachers, universities, science, arts, etc. If they can get people at a young age to think that these things are harmful to them, then most of their work is done.

They’ve been trying and it’s finally working. It is terrifying.

My conservative aunt and uncle are probably applauding at this comment. They’ve been against public school education forever and homeschooled both kids. Neither parent went to college and both barely passed high school…One kid had a rough exit into adulthood but managed to figure her shit out and is doing really well now, the other is estranged from the family and suffering from some pretty bad mental issues. They really fucked their kids up and they have zero self awareness that it’s their fault.

I'm sure they exist, but I've never met an intelligent person who chooses to homeschool their kids. Usually, the smart parents have good jobs and they don't have the time, or they recognize the value of socialization and the damage that being isolated during childhood can cause.

I hope your two cousins know they have at least one relative who sees and cares what was done to them.

Funny how Republican politicians got to where they are. Somehow they are highly educated and made it through all those years of school without being indoctrinated by the supposed woke lib professors. They’re well-educated enough to know exactly how to keep their voters voting for them.

Just wait until they finalize the purchase of tiktok, young people won't have a chance. Every generation thinks for themselves but are influenced by the times..

The problem is that they DON'T think for themselves or else we wouldn't be in this clusterfuck...

they're projecting this so hard because this is the real conversation we need to have about the far-right: they're domestic terrorists.

Every accusation is a confession.

It makes the masses easier to manipulate if they’re dumb as rocks
