Opinion by Jennifer Rubin: How Democrats can keep young voters in their corner
First, as the MAGA Republicans move toward authoritarianism and Christian nationalism, Democrats can paint a powerful contrast. Freedom, diversity and self-determination are key concerns for younger generations, who are used to customizing every aspect of their lives. Democrats should seize on the fact that Republican efforts to use the power of the state at the expense of individual autonomy make the GOP radioactive with young people.
If Republicans are insufferably angry, mean and gloomy, Democrats would be smart to adopt an ethos of hope, fearlessness and confidence. That, more than any single issue or political leader might be key to the Democrats’ continued popularity with young voters.
