        People like Joe Rogan, the tater tots, and been Shapiro have a large number of younger fans following them. Unfortunately, the fans listen to their political views far too often

          I used to listen to Joe maga Rogan when I was young and lost. He used to motivate me to exercise and better myself. In 2016 when the orange guy ran, he started saying things like, “what’s so wrong with saying the n word?” He used to sound like he cared about people.Now he ridicules people who are different than him.

          Shapiro just sounds like he’s glad he’s rich and he doesn’t care.

    What surprises (and worries) me is that, for his popularity to plunge, he had to have it. So he was popular among gen z’s. How can someone that young think trump is a good choice is something I can’t fathom.

      He was extremely popular with GenZ men. They were hitting voting age during his first term, when they reaped all of the benefits of things like the rock bottom COVID interest rates. Many of them were able to buy houses fresh out of school, while the millennials before them were so bogged down by student debt that they weren’t able to get those low interest loans. And then they saw Biden fail to address (or at least fail to broadcast that he had addressed) virtually any of their concerns.

      And all of that started while they were still barely 18, and lacked the knowledge to understand that many of Trump’s biggest wins were inherited from the previous administration, or that Biden had been handed a shit sandwich and was making do with what he had.

      Because young people are gullible and weren’t paying attention when he was president before.

      Source: I was a young gullible millennial who voted for him in 2016

        I find it hard to believe an 18 year old can’t see the evil narcissist in Trump. You’d have to embrace that evil to vote for him.
        Hatred of LGBT, emigrants, any people who need help, even victims of natural disasters. He blatantly made fun of a handicapped reporter for his handicap!!
        It’s good you got wiser, but you can’t put this down to just being gullible.
