They feel they've been lied to about the American Dream. They are struggling as they leave college and settle into adult life. They’re looking for politicians who they think make the best case for making their lives better and more affordable. That is why Donald Trump was elected and supported by so many young people in twenty twenty four. Ironically, that is a big reason they fell for Mamdani’s socialist “utopia” with “free” everything and also why they fall for the promises of other leftists like him. The issue of things being unaffordable is real. We all feel it. The solution is not charismatic politicians who promise everything but deliver nothing. The fix, what we really need, now more than ever, is free market, conservative policies. That is the only hope of fixing the issues Gen Z and Americans as a whole care the most about. In the next few minutes I’m going to tell you why we need to embrace conservative policies and why we need to reject leftist socialist policies. The conservative position will create a better life for you and the country as a whole.","content_html":"\u003cp\u003eYoung people feel let down.
