‘This Is a Really Big Deal’: How College Towns Are Decimating the GOP - eviltoast
Growing population in America’s highly educated enclaves has led to huge gains for the Democratic Party. And Republicans are scrambling for answers.

In the aftermath of the Wisconsin election, former Republican Gov. Scott Walker acknowledged the important role students played in determining the outcome but viewed the problem facing the party in a cultural context. “Young voters are the issue,” he wrote on Twitter. “It comes from years of radical indoctrination — on campus, in school, with social media, & throughout culture. We have to counter it or conservatives will never win battleground states again.”

Heh.

    It really doesn’t take much education or life experience to start questioning it all.

    It takes enough courage and willpower to meet resistance and stay resilient, aka the kind of backbone that conservative spaces teach you to never have.

    Bow down to your superiors.
