I'll hand it to the Democrats for playing a master hand in this election by funding far right candidates. By doing so they avoided scrutiny of their own policies by highlighting the extremes of the opposition. It was political Judo at its finest. Let's also not discount the power of social media and the tendencies of young people to conform with current trends. They are far more influenced by SM than actual discussion and debate, which in many places is not even allowed.

I believe this also begins the exorcism of Donald Trump. The results of this election and the rise of DeSantis has started a groundswell of disenchantment with the orange man. His specter has single-handedly muted the anticipated Republican gains.

As to what will drive gains for young voters to conservatism will simply be the results of living with the consequences of how they are voting now. As has been demonstrated time and time again throughout history around the world, leftism always undermines itself and only remains in power through corruption and duress. The same corruption and duress which prohibits open debate on campuses and platforms in the United States today. Let's not forget that many of the millions of illegal immigrants the Democrats are allowing to stream across our borders unchecked are fleeing entrenched leftism.
