Humble apologies to the esteemed and estimable Robert Spencer, whose typically excellent “election” post-mort I found nearly impossible to hew to proper fair-use strictures with.
John Della Volpe, a hard-Left pollster and author of a deathless tome entitled FIGHT: How Gen Z is Channeling Their Fear & Passion to Save America, is claiming that his favorite age group saved the midterm elections for those who love skyrocketing inflation, open borders, rising crime, international ridicule and brinksmanship, and accelerating authoritarianism. Della Volpe tweeted,
“One thing I know already. If not for voters under 30 … tonight WOULD have been a Red Wave. CNN National House Exit Poll R+ 13 65+ R+ 11 45-64 D +2 30-44 D +28 18-29 #GenZ did their job.” He added, “& young #millennials :)”
If Della Volpe’s numbers are correct, and 64% of voters between the ages of 18 and 29 really voted for Democrats, then one thing is clear: the corruption and politicization of our educational system has worked.
What he is crowing about is the apparent fact that the voting group with the least life experience and the most recent subjection to the Leftist indoctrination that dominates America’s educational system ended up voting as it was brainwashed to do. Gee, that’s terrific, if you like evidence of the success of the relentless propagandizing of a vulnerable and impressionable captive audience, but neither John Della Volpe nor anyone else should be proud of it. What it shows is not that the Leftist case is compelling or persuasive; it shows that patriotic Americans have been far too complacent in allowing public schools to become centers of Leftist indoctrination and hatred of our own nation and heritage.
People have awakened to this in large numbers in recent years as the Left has, as always, overplayed its hand. Angry parents began showing up at school board meetings in large numbers to protest the imposition of race-hate propaganda, aka Critical Race Theory, in public schools, as well as the presence of outright and unmistakable pornography in the guise of “gender-affirming” literature. This got so embarrassing for the Left that Gestapo chief Merrick Garland, that indefatigable foe of “white supremacists” (as soon as he can find any), actually sicced the FBI on those parents as if they were a terrorist threat.
But this endeavor has been going on since long before Garland first put on his jackboots and resolved to destroy the republic. In the 1960s, Leftists began what Communist activist Rudi Dutschke indelibly dubbed “the Long March Through the Institutions.” In China, Communist leader Mao Zedong began the Long March in 1934 to evade nationalist forces; the term, however, came to be associated with his slow, steady, patient rise to power, culminating in the Communist takeover of mainland China in 1949. The Long March Through the Institutions was the same kind of slow, steady takeover, as Communists, leftists, and their allies gradually gained control of America’s colleges and universities, its primary and secondary educational systems, its popular culture, and above all its ever-growing federal bureaucracy.
This has created a situation in which those who oppose this multifarious and all-encompassing establishment are universally derided virtually everywhere one turns: in what are supposed to be objective and impartial news broadcasts; in lessons at every level of the educational system about the nation’s history, present condition, and future prospects; in movies, popular music, and more. All of the late-night comedians who host talk shows are part of this camp, and they hobnob with the political elites, and yet they still posture as if they were plucky outsiders going up against a stultified and stultifying entrenched orthodoxy.
I myself, along with many of you folks as well, know all too well that the origins of fascist Amerika v2.0 are to be found in our warped and corrupted “education” establishment, from K-12 right up through the universities and colleges, all of which was long since coopted successfully in accordance with Gramsci’s brilliantly sinister thesis. Unless and until this has been addressed and rectified, there can be no real hope for America That Was, nor for those of us who cherish her still.
I did somehow contrive to leave the closing ‘graphs out of my excessive excerpting, so as to provide y’all at least SOME “rest” you could click on over and read. But hey, it wasn’t easy.

I haven’t gotten around to studying this just yet. My suspicion is that it is incorrect. 100% of 10 voters is still just 10 votes, so I want to see the numbers of “Z” voters before we decide that’s a real problem.
The real big problem is corruption and stolen elections, IMO. I think all this other analysis is just an attempt to cover up the truth – this election, just like the 2020 elections, was stolen.
I look up age distribution and I find that roughly 20% of the population is age 20-34. That age group registers to vote at around 60% as contrasted with 70-80% of the older age groups.
So, while the problem will continue to get worse, how bad was it in the recent election? They don’t all vote marxist. If 70% of the registered 60% do vote marxist, and if the same percentage of registered 18-34 old voters vote as do older voters, i’d guess they are still not as big a factor as RIGGING the VOTE. I’m open to having a better look at the data if anyone can find it.
.6 x .2 = 12%. They usually vote less often even when registered.
Let’s say 70% vote.
= 8.4%.D+28 means 64% voted D and 36% R.
= 5.4% of the electorate. Not a small contingent. BUT here is the crux.
R got 3% of the votes of the electorate from that group.
So the Margin was just 2.4% of total votes.
Once more, not something that can be dismissed. But also not something that could swing a Red Wave to a Narrow Victory (IF we get the House).
BTW it was +27 on Thu midday for R in the House with 60 open seats.
It’s now R+10 with 23 seats open.
So the Dems have won 27-10 in Open Season On Fraud. They have to win 17-6 to retain the House.
At that pace of 2.7:1 they eke out the House as well. Hmmmmm…
I no longer think R’s will control the house once all the “ballots” are counted. Why should they not cheat on all of those?
They “won” 2 more yesterday. To 0 for us.
11 remain in CA. They need to go 14-5 now.
Yes when they give only a % the raw numbers may tell a different story. If they give the raw numbers and not a % that is usually the case too.
Also, notice how quickly they start waking up when they hit the 30s.
AS far back as Churchill it was known that the young tend to lean liberal and then wake the fuck up.
Young and not liberal, you have no heart.
old and still liberal, you have no mind.
