Dude was 20.

This was going to be his first time voting.

What everyone should be talking about is...

How disenfranchised the youth is with their future prospects, so much so that they are willing to go this far.

That and what you register for may not have anything to do with which side of the political spectrum you are on. Only which primary they let you vote in.

How much do we bet he knew that? I am not trying to speak I'll of him. But I know at 20 there was not much of an education on how our modern system works. I learned from experience.

The fact that this was his first election makes it more likely he actually agreed with the GOP, because this year's primaries were kinda decided before they started.

His voter registration info actually shows that he voted in the 2022 mid-terms. This would have been his first time voting for a president though.

It's good to see the youth exercising their rights!

Or nothing. Just stick to too soon jokes and wait for details.

It's one kid with a gun fetish, not an entire generation mobilizing into guerrilla paramilitary units.
