    I must live in a bubble. Both of my (university age) kids and their friends are vocally offended by Trump and Musk, and they think Polierve is a bad joke.

    My oldest games online with a few Americans and they are also very anyi-trump. (“They wouldn’t be my friends if they supported him”)

      You are most likely living in a bubble. Cherish it, but don’t forget, that there are a lot of people that feel different from you.

      I do have the same experience. My social circle is very much open, tolerant and absolutely hates what the GOP in America and right leaning/right wing parties in Europe are doing and proposing. I know almost no young people that support strong conservative or right leaning policy and talking points. I am however also in contact with a different group of people (through my countrys military/military reserve), that very much leans into those right talking points and favours more conservative policy.

      If you can, engage with them and try to understand them and help them understand your point.
