I interview to many young people.

Many of them are conservative.

We do not allow them into the our local Union.

Proud boys, Oath Keepers, and the young Nazi types exist

Look at the people who attacked the our Capitol.

The crowd wanted to kidnap the Governor of Michigan.
Check out their ages.
It kind of hard to forget about 2016.

We are still dealing with Trump.

A lot of people voted for President Biden, even some Republicans.

Everyone was done with Trump.

A lot of old folks voted for Biden, a lot young folks voted for Trump.

Why isn't Stacy Governor, why isn't Beto Governor.

Where was the youth vote.

I do not put a halo over any generation.

I need to see more.

Are we going see another temper tantrum in the next presidential election.

Younger doesn't always mean smarter and more progressive.

My nephews are all Republicans.
