They will learn nothing from this. It took them ten years to realize Donald Trump is a fraud.
I disagree.
There are likely 2 factors at play here. The marketing machine for the Republicans is off right now. They don't need to win an election, so they have no reason to curb their opinions with the high school and college crowd.
The other is that people usually do a lot of growing up in their 20s. You get some real freedom all at once and it takes time to adjust to what "normal" is.
The GenZ crowd that voted for Trump in 2024 looked at how Biden ran the country for the last 4 years and decided they wanted something different, which is exactly what Trump was promising.
They were likely too young to be politically involved through the first term and definitely were not old enough to know how much of a shift 2016 was from the Bush admin.
