Indeed. They've secured Gen Z as their next voter base.

Well... not according to the '25 election returns.
But they've accrued a whole lot of very sick-in-the-head GenX / Millennials with the same toxic nostalgia that poisoned the Boomers. What they didn't anticipate was the voter burnout that's plagued Democrats since the 90s coming for their new flaky, disgruntled, hyper-individualist base.

Something tells me the TikTok generation may not have as much of a problem with swiping some other direction.

If they're even slightly believing that the rapist is somewhere even close to 'governing from the middle', I'm afraid they're still unreachable.

I still think it’s funny that people trusted Trump over Biden for economic issues even after his handling of COVID.
Makes me wonder if democracy is fundamentally flawed.

Democracy falls apart when the electorate is uneducated. That's why Trump loves them, they uncritically believe anything he says. Democracy thrives when voters understand the issues and how government works, and are therefore able to make intelligent decisions.

Ding ding ding!
Basically every single philospher or political theorist or whoever, throughout all of history, makes a point of saying that Democracy requires a reasonably well informed and a reasonably educated population ... as a necessary prerequisite.
Take that out at the knees, as the Republicans have been doing for 40 years, and its no wonder that Democracy seems like a dubious concept, when the average reading ability of the average US adult is that of a 6th grader.
Turns out 6th graders aren't really that knowledgeable and can be easily lied to or tricked.

They don't make decisions based on anything, it's just vibes. You can wreck something like a pandemic response and still be "the business guy" to most crackheads

Difficult to say... considering that "liberal democracy" was never democratic.

spinning news paper hits front step of home in Utah
"Local family bankrupted by patron's addiction to wanking and eating shit. 'I hate Communism and love owning woke Liberals. Do you want to buy my red hat or limited edition Trump Truck Nuts? Seriously, I need the money. This is all Biden's fault, I wish that my wife couldn't vote', said farmer W. Ankerman while surveying his family's 5th generation farm at creditor liquidation auction."
