Blue Is the Winning Color with Jesse Arm

So a lot in what you just said.

I mean, I think one of the items that I did want to pick up on is, you know, of course, a big part of the 2024 narrative was sort of like the rise of the young right, right? Like the extent to which, you know, all these base sensitive young men, you know, were driving the results.

And, you know, of course, one of the big stats that's been circulating around is the extent to which sort of like young people, you know, swung left in a major way on this election.

Do you take much from that? Or I mean, I guess, Jesse, kind of in the comment that you just said, you know, I guess there's one way of viewing this, which is the coalition has been shifting a lot.

And, you know, young voters are mercurial.

So we kind of shouldn't care about this.

Like if you if you care about the right as a movement, you actually don't really worry that much about the shift that you saw there.

Yeah, I

think there's going to be a real temptation to over-index on this and obsess over this that I really worry about for the American right.

There were massive

shits across every demographic,

okay? So the crowd that wants 100 million deportations or whatever, you know, more deportations than there are illegal immigrants in the country wants to tell a story about how demographics are destiny.

And I guess it's totally impossible for Republicans to ever win the Hispanics in the Rio Grande Valley that they won two years ago.

And I don't buy it.

And look, the demographic situation is not shifting rapidly in Kansas.

OK, there's a lot of white people in Kansas.

There were a lot of white people in Kansas a few years ago, and there remain a lot of white people in Kansas.

So and it's young people, old people, lower income people, upper income women in suburbs.

The GOP lost ground everywhere.

So, you know, for those who are tempted to say the answer here is to just listen more to, you know, Nick Fuentes, who recommended voting Democrat up and down the ballot, or Tucker Carlson, who said he couldn't vote for Mike Rogers over Abdul El-Sayed if you held a gun to his head.

I think that's a little bit misguided.

I think it might make a little bit more sense to look to the few Republicans who were able to win this cycle, right? Phil Scott is going to be a Republican governor in Vermont.

Kelly Ayotte is going to be a Republican governor in New Hampshire.

These were people who were able to swim upstream against tremendous headwinds against the party this cycle.

And I know it won't get you as many likes from the based youth that populate Twitter, but there's something to take from these folks.
