In theory I'd love that, I give into the trolling but try to keep it to a minimum.
Children are watching and when everyone is slinging shit, they just see shit covered adults and that's almost worse than losing a voter. Losing the next gen
I think the risk is that kids love it too though and what happens is they see one side getting beat up and the other side being funny and having a great time. That's what lost a generation in my mind. In my world, lots of young men just no longer even admit to being left leaning publicly. It's an embarrassment. And here is why it's important. If they do say they are, then there is 10 people around then slinging shit at them because those people saw all the people online giving them ammunition. But because the left are risk adverse, there isn't the same ammunition. There isn't the same resources to let them know to fuck off. Representation is important. Saying we can just ignore things and not engage could end up hurting over the long term.
Left used to mean something, helping out the everyman with stronger safetynets. If kids need jokes we need to do that and not engage with the trolls. High ground sucks when they go low, but its needed to keep proper decorum.
Politics should be boring, we should not need to pay attention to every move they make. Progressives and lefties are bought and paid for like the rest, I'd argue that's more important for the next gen. Both are sellouts, let's go to the fun one.
