Trump 2.0: MAGAA

NYT writer says Dems are 'getting destroyed' as data show Gen Z 'most conservative' generation in decades
Ezra Klein suggested that Democratic assumptions about youth support have proven 'completely false' amid President Donald Trump's return to power

New York Times columnist Ezra Klein spoke with a Democratic pollster Tuesday about how the dream of an ascendant Democratic majority is imploding as younger voters, especially White men, flee the party.

Klein interviewed David Shor, the head of data science at Blue Rose Research, a Democratic polling firm, for his podcast in an episode titled "Democrats Need to Face Why Trump Won."

When Klein and Shor reviewed numerous charts, including one headlined, "2024 Democratic Support by Age – Split by Race and Gender," the pollster explained that in this chart in particular, "One thing you can notice is that among 18-year-olds, women of color are the only of the four [race and gender demographic groups] that Harris won. Trump narrowly won nonwhite men."…

…. "I find this part of this chart shocking. I sometimes talk about narrative violations, and if we knew anything about Donald Trump eight years ago, it was that young people didn’t like him. And Republicans had been maybe throwing away young people for generations in order to run up their margins among seniors," Klein said. "But if you look at this chart, 75-year-old White men supported Kamala Harris at a significantly higher rate than 20-year-old White men."

"It is a real shift," Shor agreed. "This is the thing I am the most shocked by in the last four years — that young people have gone from being the most progressive generation since the Baby Boomers, and maybe even in some ways more so, to becoming potentially the most conservative generation that we’ve experienced maybe in 50 to 60 years."

The data expert went on to discuss what he called "the scariest chart in this entire presentation," which shows the massive and historically unusual polarization between young men and women.

"What’s crazy is that if you look at people under the age of 30, the gender gap has exploded. Eighteen-year-old men were 23 percentage points more likely to support Donald Trump than 18-year-old women, which is just completely unprecedented in American politics," Shor said.

Klein noted numerous factors at play in recent years, ranging from the #MeToo movement and the rise of the Manosphere, to how "there’s a sense the Democratic Party is becoming much more a pro-women party and in some ways, sort of anti-young men. And that, in turn, had a huge effect on young men’s political opinions."….

…… "Democrats are getting destroyed now among young voters. I do think that, even as the idea of the rising demographic Democratic majority became a little discredited in 2016 and 2020, Democrats believed that these young voters were eventually going to save them," he said.

"They thought that this was a last gasp of something and that if Donald Trump couldn’t run up his numbers among seniors and you had Millennials and Gen Z really coming into voting power, that would be the end of this Republican Party. That is just completely false, and it might be the beginning of this Republican Party," Klein added.

"I have to admit, I was one of those liberals four years ago, and it seems I was wrong," Shor replied. "The future has a way of surprising us."

“You most certainly know you shouldn’t be talking about it or passing it on in an email, particularly to a private server like the one she had. What they did is reckless – it’s complete recklessness and incompetence.”

hegseth ...

In a November 2016 Fox News appearance, Hegseth called Clinton’s use of the email server, “criminal.”

“People have gone to jail for 1/100th of what – even 1/1,000th of what Hillary Clinton did.”

In September 2017, Hegseth criticized Clinton’s use of the server on Fox News, calling her “such a corrupt politician,” and her actions “reckless.”

waltz ...

“Biden’s sitting National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan sent Top Secret messages to Hillary Clinton’s private account. And what did DOJ do about it? Not a damn thing,”

miller ...

“One point that doesn’t get made enough about Hillary’s unsecured server illegally used to conduct state business (obviously created to hide the Clintons’ corrupt pay-for-play): foreign adversaries could easily hack classified ops & intel in real time from other side of the globe.”

gabbard ...

“Any unauthorized release of classified information is a violation of the law and will be treated as such.” The tweet came one day after the group chat began and one day before the US military strikes in Yemen occurred.

‘Nobody is above the law’: Trump officials who criticized Clinton’s emails now under scrutiny for leaked war plans

I guess they should all be charged or they're hypocrites one and all.

I'd love to read what these clowns put in their 5 Things I Did This Week email to Wile E(lon) Coyote.

I demand we spend a couple of years and a few million dollars investigating this travesty.

LOCK HIM UP!!!

Just like Hildamort's email server.

It's amazing how similar trump and his MAQA yahoos are to Hildamort and her cadre.

With the Dept. of Education on the chopping block, these are the states that rely most on federal school funding



Whole lot of red states who depend on federal funds for their education spending.

Just like Hildamort's email server.

It's amazing how similar trump and his MAQA yahoos are to Hildamort and her cadre.

Link me to Trump administration bleach bitting servers and using hammer to destroy evidence. I will wait This was nothing more than a spelling error or auto correct problem.

I know because this information was so sensitive to national security a liberal Trump hating reporter posted it online for the world to see.

Already answered why they are similar ...

2 issues with use of Signal app:
1) It isn't approved by the DoD to access, transmit, or process non-public DoD information.
2) Use of disappearing messaging is likely a violation of public records law.

Pretty similar stuff to what Hildamort was justifiably accused of.

Attempting to focus on the differences doesn't make the similarities (and likely violations of laws and security protocols) go away. These clowns should be held accountable just like Hildamort should have been held accountable.

Here Are the Attack Plans That Trump’s Advisers Shared on Signal

At 11:44 a.m. eastern time, Hegseth posted in the chat, in all caps, “TEAM UPDATE:”

The text beneath this began, “TIME NOW (1144et): Weather is FAVORABLE. Just CONFIRMED w/CENTCOM we are a GO for mission launch.” Centcom, or Central Command, is the military’s combatant command for the Middle East. The Hegseth text continues:

“1215et: F-18s LAUNCH (1st strike package)”

“1345: ‘Trigger Based’ F-18 1st Strike Window Starts (Target Terrorist is @ his Known Location so SHOULD BE ON TIME – also, Strike Drones Launch (MQ-9s)”

Let us pause here for a moment to underscore a point. This Signal message shows that the U.S. secretary of defense texted a group that included a phone number unknown to him—Goldberg’s cellphone—at 11:44 a.m. This was 31 minutes before the first U.S. warplanes launched, and two hours and one minute before the beginning of a period in which a primary target, the Houthi “Target Terrorist,” was expected to be killed by these American aircraft. If this text had been received by someone hostile to American interests—or someone merely indiscreet, and with access to social media—the Houthis would have had time to prepare for what was meant to be a surprise attack on their strongholds. The consequences for American pilots could have been catastrophic.

The Hegseth text then continued:

“1410: More F-18s LAUNCH (2nd strike package)”

“1415: Strike Drones on Target (THIS IS WHEN THE FIRST BOMBS WILL DEFINITELY DROP, pending earlier ‘Trigger Based’ targets)”

“1536 F-18 2nd Strike Starts – also, first sea-based Tomahawks launched.”

“MORE TO FOLLOW (per timeline)”

“We are currently clean on OPSEC”—that is, operational security.

But you be you and keep blindly accepting and pushing the partisan bullshit excuses to protect the Keystone Kops that trump put in charge of this operation.

[Bobcat]

Thats not a battle plan.

Proof you or the Trump hating reporter have never served.
