A formerly well-connected GOP donor convicted of giving teenage girls gifts, alcohol and money in exchange for sex was sentenced Wednesday to 21 years in prison on sex trafficking charges.
More? The statistics I’ve seen seem to show otherwise. The bigots are extremely loud and have oversized political clout due to things like gerrymandering, but I don’t think they have the numbers on their side with young people.
If I’m wrong, I’d like to know, though. Do you have credible sources showing a larger surge in bigotry vs. support among young people?
No idea if this link will work:

If not, simply google news articles with the keywords “young white males joining right wing”
Horrifying, but not exactly what I was looking for. There are, and always have been, young white men who are susceptible to the lure of fascism, and it’s something we have to be vigilant against. But what I’m hoping you have - well, actually, I’m very much going you don’t have this, but if you do, I’d prefer to know rather than not know - is actual statistics indicating that fascism is increasing in the younger generations, rather than decreasing.
