as a YouGov poll is released showing that 67% of 18-29 year olds 
are more optimistic about Trump 
compared to 51% of 65+ year olds 
the blackpills for /r/neoliberal will continue until morale improves
They know next to nothing about him and see stable prices right now. If this election has taught us anything it is that we think too deeply about the thoughts and feelings of the average American. Reality is that their thoughts and feelings are much more surface level than we like to think.
"Sorry maga chuds, the reality is that FACTS care more about you than your FEELINGS" 
Give it a couple months.
American voters are profoundly mercurial and incredibly dumb.
Yeah the "public as a thermostat" theory means that by the end of the year the median voter will be:
"how could America have allowed Trump back into power to do all of these things?"
"Th-th-the median voter will SOON realize that Democrats are heckin decent human beans" 
After the first video of deportations:
"What the frick why is this happening?"-quite a number of people who voted for him.
Do we care too deeply about thoughts and feelings? Because despite hearing plenty of facts and rational arguments that the Harris administration would be better than the Trump admin, folks seemed to just want to burn down the country based on vibes around the economy and Trump being affable in podcast interviews.
I truly don't know what we should do but I worry that ignoring peoples feelings (even though we should cause they are dumb) is bad electorally.
"Perhaps......feelings might in fact matter more than facts...."
Trump promised he would be everything to everyone and the country (overall) believes him. Now lets see how he does on actually delivering what he promised them.
I mean he didn't promise me shit.
Remember, an 18 year old was 10 when Trump was first elected
I mean All of those numbers are crazy.
Society was not ready for social media.
Oof
I remember being told for the last few years that the Zoomers were going to save us
and instead they're going to drive us straight off the cliff. But they protest Democratic lawmakers for "not doing enough" to stop climate change and the war in Gaza, which never looked more like a psyop to get Trump (who they do not support) elected than it does now.
It's simple.
Everyone hates the Dems for different reasons.
You're right. Republicans hate Dems because they're Republicans. The left hates Dems for "not doing enough." This sub hates Dems for not winning enough elections. I hate Dems for giving in to the left way too often.
Maybe the Dems should go the way of the Whigs. Let it die to get rid of the stigma and make a new party. Brands to this all the time when they change names after a scandal so people won't know they are still the same brand.
TDD (TOTAL DEMOCRAT DEATH) 
Dems taking so many Ls
"Hahaha. Suck it Zoomers. I'm glad this super unpopular policy that takes away your favorite hang out spot got passed. Eat shit"
These people then wonder why they keep taking Ls.
We should bully them more

Imagine being 18 in the 2024 vote, born in 2006.
That means you were 10 when he got elected the first time, which means you were 9 when he started campaigning.
His entire campaign was how much Obama sucked and Hillary was the Devil.
Which means they were 2 years old when Obama was elected.
I'm sure !zoomers and !alphoids have a very smart and and skibidi and informed idea about the political fight surrounding Obama, Trump, and Biden.

I was 19 at the time so first election for me as well. I was a major shitlib at the time lol so I was pretty freaked out. But actually Trump winning quickly taught me that Dems are incompetent r-slurs.

Yeah that tracks. My dad can't even read his beloved NYT because he's so upset about Trump lol. My zoomer brother and his zoomer friends either don't give a shit or think "how much worse can it be?" Even some of my younger women coworkers, aka the prime demographic for Trump outrage, are upset but not in the ridiculous way liberal boomers seem to be. Kind of an interesting development because in 2016 it seems like millennial lib women led the charge of hysteria.

I imagine it probably looks like that (roughly) for every president. The older you get, the more likely you're jaded and believe/have realised that the politicians are all the same and nothing matters when the other party wins.

I actually think the opposite happens with many older people. They actually come to identify with one party or the other very strongly because they have been on that side for so long. Also I can't tell you how much Trump upsets older liberals. He is so completely distasteful to them it's ridiculous, like he makes my parents insane it a totally unreasonable way.

This is precisely where the mantra of getting more conservative (or at the very least, less liberal) as you age comes from. You get jaded from federal politics and learn to just hate them all.

It shouldn't be what elections are won and lost on but the ability to relate and connect with one's leaders is a necessary component in any system. The teacher at the beginning of Starship Troopers is right when he says elections and voting are violence. It's saying that based off these proposed coalitions and their ideas I'm willing to fight to install this group into power. Ideally metaphorical (and democracies most struggle when the voting power of the individual voting unit fails to represent the balance of force that is actually extant in that society) but very much the hidden byline. If it comes down to actually using that force of course people will align with the affable over constructed. If based on nothing else than "this guy looks more likely to win the fight" and "this guy is the guy I prefer as a person".
