The Youth Voter Was Important Last Week

For John, BLUF:  All of us with an interest in politics need to exmine all the possible reasons for the outcome we had on 8 November.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

There WOULD Have Been a Red Wave, but One Group Saved the Left From Being Completely Obliterated

From PJ Media, by Columniat Robert Spencer, 9 November 2022, 10:58 AM.

Here is the lede plus one:

John Della Volpe, a hard-Left pollster and author of a deathless tome entitled FIGHT:  How Gen Z is Channeling Their Fear & Passion to Save America, is claiming that his favorite age group saved the midterm elections for those who love skyrocketing inflation, open borders, rising crime, international ridicule and brinksmanship, and accelerating authoritarianism.  Della Volpe tweeted, “One thing I know already. If not for voters under 30 … tonight WOULD have been a Red Wave.  CNN National House Exit Poll R+ 13 65+ R+ 11 45-64 D +2 30-44 D +28 18-29 #GenZ did their job.”  He added, “& young #millennials :)”  If Della Volpe’s numbers are correct, and 64% of voters between the ages of 18 and 29 really voted for Democrats, then one thing is clear:  the corruption and politicization of our educational system has worked.

What he is crowing about is the apparent fact that the voting group with the least life experience and the most recent subjection to the Leftist indoctrination that dominates America’s educational system ended up voting as it was brainwashed to do.  Gee, that’s terrific, if you like evidence of the success of the relentless propagandizing of a vulnerable and impressionable captive audience, but neither John Della Volpe nor anyone else should be proud of it.  What it shows is not that the Leftist case is compelling or persuasive; it shows that patriotic Americans have been far too complacent in allowing public schools to become centers of Leftist indoctrination and hatred of our own nation and heritage.

Given that we have 12 years of indoctrinated youth in the youth voting brackets, and more coming, it is incumbent on Republicans to develop and mount a campaign to show these cohorts the proper political path.

Is the Republican Party in Massachusetts capable of doing that?  If not, it will be more years in the wilderness.
