It’s not hard for me as a millennial to see why Gen Z has such a hard time
The world turned to shit after I graduated high school. For these guys though, the world has been turning to shit since they were little kids.
I’m not sure if I’d really expect the far right to improve their lives at all, but I don’t think it’s difficult to see where the turn to radicalization comes from.
I don’t know if some of them even got a chance to see what else was going on before their social media would have been filtering their world and placing them into their new bubble.

“Dumbasses realize they are stupid, but change targets because the other guy isn’t fat”
That’s the reality here. They are mad because Vance looks fat compared to Newsom. Just another bullet on the list of stupid things right-wingers say and do.

Is that supposed to make me want to support the neoliberal wet dream Gavin Newsome?
All Gavin Newsome is to me is a hard swing back to the GOP in 2032 or 2036.

Vance has a negative charisma modifier.

*What?* They don’t support JD fancy pants? Color me shocked.

I’m sure their position is based on a comprehensive and rational thought process. Wait… it’s because Vance is a chubber? Never mind.

I don’t give a crap what the “Hitler is cool” guy said.
He should be shunned. Why are they even giving him attention?

Nah, don’t soil this side now, stay on your fascist racist lanes.

They need to get new hats then.

Can’t wait for the libs to try and grab the Nazi vote while shunning Leftists. I’m sure that will be a successful strategy *this* time around.

If you genuinely believe that these rightwingers would actually vote for Newsom over any Republican in the general, I’ve got a bridge to sell you.

The fact that right-wingers are moving their support to Gavin Newsom should tell you everything you need to know about Newsom. A lot of us have been pointing out he is more right-leaning/centrist…….and how running someone like that is NOT the way to win elections, as history has been proving. Seriously, the guy welcomed on fascists to his podcast more than once and agree with them multiple times and has the same views as the right on the unhoused and trans people (despite what he claims). He is more right than left, if you actually deep dive.
Please, let us not let this man get past the primaries. Don’t let the DNC astroturfing fool you, and there is A LOT of that happening, most people don’t actually like the guy and it’s the media/Dem elite pushing him. If Newsom is the nominee then the Dems will fail again, they just don’t seem to learn.
EDIT: Also, nobody better give me shit and say “Well you gotta vote for him or we get MAGA”. Bitch, we literally aren’t picking the nominee for ***AT LEAST*** another year. I am beyond tired of people acting like he is the nominee when I don’t think they even know when the primaries are held for president in their state. Now is the time to criticize the shit candidates and hope the DNC actually fucking listens to voters for once instead of shoving another candidate down our throats we don’t actually like…..but them declining to release their 2024 autopsy makes me think they won’t learn, so strap in for more MAGA!

Sure thing, Newsweek.
The bullshit, ad riddled article mentions 3 streamers. The headline makes it seem like it’s *EVERY* right wing streamer. Why this sub continues to use Newsweek and gaslight themselves daily is beyond me.

> He said he views Vance as “subhuman.” When Knowles asked for clarification, the streamer, whose real name is Braden Peters, continued to make attacks at the vice president’s appearance while describing Newsom as a “chad.”
Really impressive analysis. It’s great that we’re giving these guys news coverage

They’ll be even happier when AOC is his running mate. Fuentes loves AOC.

JD Vance is the Hillary Clinton of the Republican Party.

Multiple people (Klepper, Maddow, etc) have argued that most young men are on team MAGA because of the vibes and image, not the policy. If this is the case, we’ve got a lot of work to do as a country.

Plot twist: they end up backing a suite of gay and drag people for looking fabulous, not realizing the irony of their loathing for those same people they are advancing politically.

Lemme guess, same right wingers who were pro-BLM and BernieBros when that was the winning team.
I’m not above free votes but these people are vibes based not policy based.

As if I needed any more reason not to like Newsom. bro pals around with Right Wing podcasters and will give away every aspect of our democracy in order to look bipartisan instead of actually fighting for Democratic ideals

Having racism as a party platform whether or not you want to acknowledge this is going to be very hard for JD when he has the personality of toast and is married to and has kids with an immigrant. Good luck convincing cleetus to vote for him.
