In 2010 sociologists Putnam and Campbell in “American Grace” discussed the phenomenon of the “nones” starting in the 90s. Ten years later Robert P Jones in “The End of White Christianity” attributed young people leaving to White Christian Nationalism. Jones appeared in the movie “God and Country”.

This was Greeley on the Eastern Plains. 12,000 showed up there.

For those who showed up 5 hours in advance.

We can test this in the context of Trump-voting evangelicals. Locally there is a charter school that teaches agriculture and discusses your climate change research. Many of the parents/board are in that cohort. I’ll let you know how they react to this and pray you are right and I am wrong.

At the same time RC Sproul and Del Tackett created the Truth Project for Focus on the Family which spread like wildfire through the evangelical church. It said both secular and even Christian scientists who were part of the ASA were of the devil. 3/

Tammany Hall lives but they would have the decency to be corrupt behind closed doors in a smoke-filled room. New York Dems you be you.

On the positive side there were 5 such orders today and Judge Jackson takes no shit.

Haaretz, the Israeli news outlet, spoke to the grandfather of the two-year-old Palestinian girl who was fatally shot on Saturday night by IDF soldiers near Jenin in the occupied West Bank.

He reports that Israeli troops opened fire on the family home without justification or warning.

In June 2024 Paul berated campus protestors because they only learned their history on TikTok. Now she does the same for professional historians who came to the same conclusions. Perhaps the problem isn’t TikTok but rather the gatekeepers at the New York Times.

Earnest answer to a bad faith question.

Uh we were blocked because we were warning that Biden failing to change his policy in Israel would lose the election since November 2023. This is my post from last April note it was blocked even back then. Funny how opposing 70% of your base suppresses turnout.

The left believed everything the Dems said about Trump and then some. It’s too bad the Dems don’t seem to believe their own rhetoric.

Another thing which matched my anecdotal experience was the activist class showed up and voted for Harris and harm reduction but they didn’t drag their friends to the polls because they didn’t want to hector them to vote against their conscience for either Hitler 1 or Hitler 2. In 2020 they did.

This is from the Harvard October 2024 Youth survey. Gaza was the only issue that had Trump preferred for registered voters but Harris for likely voters. Normally that’s a good thing but in this case it was signal that turnout of *Harris voters* was suppressed by the issue.

@tify330.bsky.social This matches what I saw anecdotally. The activist class of young people voted for Biden in 2020 and got their friends to follow them. In 2024 Gaza so demoralized them that this year the activist class *only* voted for Harris themselves and didn’t do the organizing.
December 5, 2024 at 4:21 PM
@tify330.bsky.social In the October Harvard Youth Poll every issue showed an advantage for Harris for *both* registered and likely voters except Gaza showing it was *the* reason why young people didn’t show up while those who did show up voted Harris.

GenZ and Millenials are called the nones because they are unaffiliated. Here is voting as broken up by affiliation.

It’s best for white people to talk with white people and talk in first person & not betray white innocence. Towards that end we are organizing precisely these face to face conversations and organizing. Please attend one of these or better yet DM me or e-mail Kokayi to organize for your own community

Here’s Open Secrets. Note the largest donor. The most expensive primary in American history was due to AIPAC’s dark money United Democracy Project to primary New York Rep. Jamaal Bowman.
