I’m thinking the only way to decrease this serious power imbalance is to implement political hiring quotas.
Every educational institute from kindergarten through college has to start hiring 30% Republican /conservative teachers, professors, administrators, bureaucrats.
Same with major media, justice system, entertainment industry, social services, big tech, etc etc

I’m being facetious ^^^ but at least w education it might be an idea to consider.

Interesting, as I know young folks that aren’t entitled, don’t expect folks to take care of them, wouldn’t think of voting Dem, and some are my relatives. Proof to kids not wanting anything to do with Republicans and the number should grow by a couple million?

Are you predicting Dems don’t lose the House?
Young voters are democratic voters by a 65% majority. Your friends and family not withstanding.
Now getting them to the polls is another story. Large increase- 11% in 2020, not sure there is the same passion in 2022. Prediction is voting numbers will be down from the 2020 high.

You are partially correct, but there's more to it than just IQ, & financial need.

Many voters also have emotional needs, & are looking for those needs to be fulfilled.

The Democrat party have become highly intelligent experts and manipulating voters though meeting their emotional AND immediate financial needs.

You've heard the term "The Nanny State"...well that is precisely it, but the Right uses in a deragatory way.

It needs to be more fully understood, and dealt with because the Right is losing to The Nanny State...badly.

They are very organized, lock-step and smart about deception.

They are not smart about what policies will work and which will fail.

Yeah, right …
Nothing says SMART like Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, AOC, the Squad, the View women, libs on Tik Tok, Michael Avenatti,, Adam Schiff or Chuck Schumer

The side that wins will win because they did the best jobs at fulfilling voters needs, emotionally, physically, & financially.

If the Right keeps ignoring the emotionally part, they are doomed to continued failure.

There’s no doubt plenty are extremely entitled, support socialism, think they deserve what others have, etc…

In other words, no proof to 83m Dem voters, or prediction of Dems keeping the House.

CongressCritters haven't written Law in years - the write long Outlines, leaving the "Rule Making" on implementation to the Infiltrators they careful place whenever they can.



They ARE smart - they are the Elected Mafia and Republicans can't figure out how to get rid of the Infiltration that has infected our Government, our Judiciary and Law and Order groups.



BINGO - they are well organized on Campus and quick to Identify the people they want to rise up. They start by getting them involved in Campaigns and each Campaign is a rung up the ladder of Leftism.
Then they get low level Government jobs and keep climbing the ladder until they take over Agencies.

Only one way to reverse this -- Government Unions have to be made Illegal, then and only then - can the Infiltration be slowly eliminated. Right now -- NONE of them can be fired.
They aren't smart - they're just unopposed....except by one extraordinarily courageous man named Trump. Yes, he gets some help from a half dozen or so honorable mentions. But there's just one man driven to get in their faces with the fight that we all need to be in, standing shoulder-to-shoulder in a wall of opposition. But most are still far more scared of being called a trans-phobe than living in servitude to Biden's fellow-inmates who are in full control of this asylum, now unrecognizable as the great country it used to be.

Smart? Give me a break. We're stupid. Not you, not I. Collectively as a culture....as a psychologically conquered culture. It has been said for 30 years that PC was going to kill us....and we're gasping for our final free breaths.

I really didn't think it would happen in my lifetime. But little did anyone know that the unchallenged (by the PTB) theft of the 2020 election would present to the deranged left a 20X fast forward button to the end.

Both political parties pay big bucks to hone their message so it hits hard, many experts will and do work for both sides of the aisle. No shortage of PR focus group testing to come up with the best story, the clearest message, the best way to present and gain support for your idea, the best subjects to talk about, the subjects to avoid and who/what to distance yourself from.
Politicians do it, corporations do it, celebrities do it, even your new date has an elevator speech that someone worked with them on until they go it perfect.
Spin is everywhere.
Now some people actually lie- make up facts, tell falsehoods. It is those people need to be condemned.
The big voter fraud lie bothered a lot more voters than the ones who actually bought in to it.
Telling bold lies is not a winning strategy imo.

Any victories the Republican have in Nov 22 and Nov 24 will be short-lived unless they change the way they sell their policies to American voters. The Right must also take back education, the federal agencies, & every other institution the Left has taken over, & I don't think the Pubs will even try.

I see the Republican party taking 1 step forward, then 2 steps back, just like when Trump won in 2016 until today. The Pubs may win a battle here and there, but they are losing the war.
