The kind Vladimir Ilyich would have shot everybody in that room
This article should be the coffin nail for people thinking the kids are gonna save us. I screenshotted this as I read yesterday. Also I swear to god the casting call for this focus group had a question about how much you love Josh Shapiro that NYT filtered everyone out on.
Here are my favorites:
Some of the few good points:
The liberal ad campaign is grating:
“Amazing” zoomer media criticism:
Young undecided voters are just a reddit comment section:
The dumbest white woman you know:
Megyn Kelly style women are the most oppressed people in America:
I’ll add more later when the rate limit on uploads resets. There’s some more amazing garbage in there.
Country of brainwashed morons or did NYT pick people that would make it look like this is the average opinion?
Future 90 day fiance contestant:
My non-abortion is the most moral abortion:
Veep should be required reading in schools:
Settlers the Mythology of the White Proletariat by J Sakai:
Iran is “neocolonialism” (I SWEAR HE KNOWS WHAT THAT MEANS) and Zenz-posting:
I wish they released the audio of that pronunciation of Xinjiang because you know it slaps.
Lillian 27, Va., white, digital advertising, voted Trump in 2020
Abortions are legal in Virginia
i have worked for almost a decade in market research and i suddenly feel morally compelled to use my professional knowledge to infiltrate a focus group like this and get “death to the yankee menace” printed in the NYT
Death to America
they wouldn’t print it, there’s no way that they don’t edit out politically inconvenient opinions. These articles are like slightly gussied up street interview videos from some random youtuber.
Jesus fucking Christ, the mass deportation screenshot is bleak
When that screen came up, as I was reading, I literally said the name of the book out loud.
All white, all mostly middle class to PMC jobs, and 2 of them wrote in Mike Bloomberg and Larry Hogan because they couldn’t hold their nose for Trump.
the teenager who wrote in Josh Shapiro holy fuck
McLane should be dropped into Gaza. the fucking nerve
Where did they find these demons lmao
White people pepeSpit
i want it to be normal for … [conservatives] … to be treated as people
maybe try acting like a person instead of a wild dog then
Death to America
How Trump Won: 13 Young, Undecided Voters
Damn. The election was that close?
Can’t remember where I read/heard it said recently, something along the lines of, “Undecided voters just want to feel like they are the most important person in the room. They know nothing about the situation but still want to speak at length about it so long as people around them are watching and nodding politely.”
I voted for Donald Trump. I decided after Kamala went on “Call Her Daddy.”
Death to America
No issue animated the group more than immigration
Uh huh.
there’s lots of people who don’t prefer either party. but it takes a particularly diseased breed of individual to have no preference, but feel compelled to vote anyway. luckily, journalism is here to provide us an insight into their minds.
what issue did your vote come down to in the end?
strength
most politically coherent kkkrakkker
Death to America
I still want to see Donald and Joe have that pushup contest.
D.C., white, legal field, wrote in Romney in 2020
I shocked myself and voted for Trump.
Shocked exactly no one but herself
What no Socratic self-examination does to a motherfucker.
I genuinely want to know if this is a “representative sample”, or if these are all just the nieces and nephews of people in the office. If it’s the former, then this is doomer material.
at 13 it can’t possibly be representative even if randomly chosen. you would need closer to 2500 people to have a representative sample for 150m voters
OP maybe consider throwing a copy of the archive link into the body text
Paywall :(
This really seems like one of those ”we asked the voters” Onion articles.
”wrote in Romney in 2020”, lmao.
These are all terrible people, really hope it’s just that NYT sought out terrible people and this is not the norm
don’t worry, anybody who’d be willing to participate in a NYT focus group in good faith is a terrible person. definitely not representative of the norm
Death to America
Here’s a “gift article” as the NYT calls it:
Admittedly shitty PDF on mega from it lol looks like a slideshow and the archive link doesn’t work
