  • We’ll know after the election.

    It might be that these endorsements help bring in some more moderate Republicans to her side but there’s also a very real possibility that she disincentive the more left leaning voters from voting for her as well. Remember, Hillary lost because she didn’t do enough to incentivize people to vote for her. She just relied on people hating Trump and didn’t rely on people actually liking her. Regardless, this is all conjecture. It’s too early to tell and no one will have a definitive answer until the results are in and a winner is announced.








  • I’m sure people will see this and think things like “Oh well, of course they would have you seen the quality of movies lately?” or “Well Gen Z tend to be more social than previous generations so that probably is a factor”.

    While true, I wonder how much of it is due to engagement? Gen Z is the first generation who grew up primarily on technology. We’ve all seen parents who just give their kids their phones or tablets and let them sit there quietly for hours. It tends to lead to hyperactive minds and movies wouldn’t satisfy that kind of person (usually). Games definitely would though.

    It’s not at all an uncommon story. Go to any women’s support group or site, and it’ll be a very consistent trend. A lot of people still have the old gender roles stuck in their heads, but they fail to acknowledge that some things have changed.

    The big one is that women can now be financially independent. We’re only 2 generations away from women being able to open a bank in their name in the US. Before that, women didn’t have the financial freedom to live alone or divorce abusive/neglectful spouses.

    The other one kind of ties into the first one, freedom of choice. It’s not as big an expectation for women to marry, and people are finding that a lot of women would prefer to be alone and single than married. Where do you think all these memes of childless cat ladies come from? It didn’t start with JD Vance. He just amplified it.
