Republicans Are at War With College Towns. And They’re Losing. - Lemmy.world

Republicans are at war with young people in general. It honestly looks like they are actively TRYING to lose as much of the youth vote as possible:

  • Young people deeply feel the existential dread of climate change. Republicans still deny the basic facts about it, and fight all attempts to mitigate it.

  • Young people understand that their lives have been destroyed by student loans at rates and amounts unheard of in the past. Republicans not only have ZERO empathy, here, they are actually delighting in cruelty about it. They actively tried to add RETROACTIVE interest charges to student loans as we reach the end of the pandemic loan freeze, on top of their efforts to make it virtually impossible to have loans forgiven for public service.

  • Young people are less religious than ever, while the right wing is using the court to turn us into a theocracy.

  • Young people have progressive attitudes about LGBTQ rights, and the Republicans are centering their 2024 campaign on a contest of the bigoted they can be in this area.

  • Climate change/action is a hoax.
  • Life has never been harder for younger generations but a loan is a loan.
  • When does the whataboutism end…
  • So what. Let the LGBTQ people vote for whomever they wish to.
  • Climate change/action is a hoax.

    This right here. This is why the mods allow misinformation.

    Good thing we are not on Reddit.

    reddit also welcomes misinformation.

    I’ll point out that you didn’t object when I correctly identified your misinformation as such.

    No they don’t.

    And, it’s not misinformation if it’s true that climate change/action esp the action part is a big lie and a hoax.

    No they don’t.

    Yes, it’s practically all reddit is for anymore.

    And, it’s not misinformation if it’s true that climate change/action esp the action part is a big lie and a hoax.

    And since it’s false, you’re spreading misinformation.

    Nope. I just haven’t bought the lie. You can call that whatever you want to call it. But that’s it.

    I just haven’t bought the lie.

    Whether you buy the lies you’re spreading doesn’t matter. You’re still spreading them.

    Thank God for the power of free speech and the internet.
    You’re certainly free to continue lying.
    There is no “free speech and the internet” as free speech is a right granted by select governments. What you are saying isn’t free speech, it’s actually showing a lack of education and possibly a mental health issue or brain damage.
