    And then a short time later, an absolutely massive amount of those exact young people voted for him. He could come out and directly say “This is a message to the youth. I will not make your life better. I will only expand wars and keep the money flowing up.” And then MILLIONS of young voters would vote for him.

      Project 2025 will get a number of them but majority have never heard of it or care. They just know Trump bad and equals Hitler. Biden good and equals Obama and Obama best president ever. Make funny memes and go on tv.
