    Being from the north the generational change in just 20 years was huge. I have no idea how it impacts the regressive south but with all the social media out there i’m guessing they get exposed. Being anti-hate is very appealing to idealistic people which are definitely the young.

    I wonder if we’re seeing the dying remnants of regressives before the next generation grows up. I understand why the older generations are worried because the big changes we’ve seen are not what they are used to. If anything trying to bring back hate as a platform is like holding onto a safety blanket real tight.

      Unfortunately regressives are not dying out. A study I read showed that young men are actually trending a lot more conservative (in numbers) than previous generations. I’m a little disappointed in young men tbh, but I know there’s a lot of complex social reasons for this. Whereas women are trending a lot more liberal. Not sure how it will impact the polls
