The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

There are three things everyone should know about youth and far-right voting:
1: There is (averaged all European countries) no correlation between being young and voting for the far right.

@ipsosnl.bsky.social published an age breakdown of the results of the election polls regarding tomorrow's Dutch elections.
Young Dutch voters are leaning more towards the centre-left (D66, PvdA-GL, PvdD, Volt), and are less likely to vote for both the far-right and the center-right.

So even someone like Jimmy Kimmel, who brings in millions, isn’t safe from far-right intimidation!
And every high-profile surrender not just feeds the thirst for more among the far-right mob but also facilitates the next surrender.

Building on this theme, despite strenuous efforts by Right-leaning commentators to claim that the AfD is the party of German youth, in North Rhine Westphalia among under-25s it sits well behind the CDU, SPD, Hard Left Linke and the Greens

The federal state of Saxony has just published first *register data* results from the German elections in 2025:
These numbers show that young women overwhelmingly supported the LINKE (37%).
Young men voted more strongly for the AfD (42%), but this is lower than among middle-aged men (50%).
