The only way the kids votes thing works is if we also prorate votes by age. Let’s be optimistic and say life expectancy is 100. Okay, parents get the vote of their kids, but in exchange, a 20 year old’s vote is worth 2X that of a 60 year old. Still think Vance would be on board? ---

House Republicans are willing to say that they dislike the Vance pick. But obviously not willing to go on record, can only criticize something Trump related anonymously.

I’m childless, care a lot about the environment and it annoys the crap out of me, all the pro-O&G folks with young kids. They’re actively harming their kids future and refuse to contemplate the idea CO2 emissions are harmful. ETA: the ones who annoy me more are the old climate change deniers who are going to be dead before the severe impacts hit and are currently downplaying the current bad impacts. ---

From The Hill’s article: > [@](#): > > “He was the worst choice of all the options. It was so bad I didn’t even think it was possible,” one House Republican said. “Anti-Ukraine, more of a populist. He adds nothing to the Trump ticket. He energizes the same people that love Trump.” So… even today’s Republicans are starting to appreciate how unhinged Trump has become in his narcissism? ---

I don’t think the Republicans are ready for TikTok. Someone put Vance saying “I’m a never Trump guy, I never liked him” to music, and people are posting videos of themselves dancing to it. https://www.tiktok.com/embed/v2/7396137361681452334 [https://www.tiktok.com/@jasminereid03/video/7396514474611543326](https://www.tiktok.com/@jasminereid03/video/7396514474611543326) https://www.tiktok.com/embed/v2/7396024545586564383 https://www.tiktok.com/embed/v2/7396699224718495007 https://www.tiktok.com/embed/v2/7396103588189179182 ---

One key to decent social media is that it has to be organic, not forced. E.g., this (from his Senate campaign) is cringe, partly because it is top down, trying to be cool: ![image](https://community.goactuary.com/uploads/default/original/3X/9/6/96153622259de905115e839648f67e01f077efaa.jpeg) ---

Based means that you are speaking the truth and being yourself, often despite facing pressure to not do so. It’s also often used ironically. ---

Except for skibidi, almost all of the slang that the current generation use has a reasonable origin. Like, even gyatt started as an acronym for “Goddamn yo ass it thicc.” But that doesn’t necessarily make it easier to follow. ---

It would be helpful if they released quarterly pamphlets of the latest slang with relevant examples of usage! ---
