1. There is that 30 something % approval rating from his diehard supporters,

apparently regardless of age.

4. I think some of them are people afraid they will wind up in a re-education camp or worse if they say

anything bad about Spanky Denisson. I am paranoid enough not to rule that out, but old enough not to give a flying fuck.

2. Let's get them registered and voting

3. This...

None of that means shit unless they get to the polls.

6. 67% is worth working to get them to the polls.

5. Trump's largest percentage of supporters....

are older than 45 years of age. And it's a LARGE percentage, about 85%. Around 35% are over 65 (MY age group). The Republican's base is dying out, I'm NOT sorry to say. The youth vote is THE most important age group Democrats need to attract.

7. Damn, wonder what the demographics of those 33% are

8. Duggar kids?

9. There are a lot of young people who never read a newspaper or watch national news

... and they're not just teenagers either. I'm not at all surprised by that number, because so many are clueless and indifferent. Some will wake up when they get to college but others won't.

Some kids grow up in families where Faux News is on all day and they never hear anything else.

That's America, I'm sorry to say.

10. Yes, but that cuts both ways.

I have students on both sides of the political divide that can't name a single accurate thing.

Some still think he's actively deporting all Latinos, for example. Others think he already pulled all the troops back to the US.

The level of ignorance is amazing, whether right or left. The level of self-satisfaction and smugness on both sides is disgraceful.
