Career politicians often exemplify hypocrisy because their primary allegiance is to political survival, not principles. This behavior is particularly glaring in the Democratic Party, where leaders frequently espouse lofty ideals but abandon them when political expediency demands it. A stark example is Senator Chuck Schumer, who lambasted former President Trump for supposedly considering preemptive pardons—a move that never even materialized. Yet when President Biden actually issued preemptive pardons, Schumer remained conspicuously silent, revealing a double standard that undermines credibility. Such actions expose a fundamental issue: career politicians often prioritize partisan loyalty and power over consistency or accountability. This hypocrisy is not lost on younger voters, who see it as emblematic of why the political establishment cannot be trusted to deliver meaningful change.

This isn't meant to be a sweeping condemnation of either political party. But a lot of young people think they're being laughed at behind closed doors. This perception is their reality. In this race to the bottom, it's all about who's lying the least.

It's so hilarious to hear how young voters are not interested in virtue signaling, when they report me and my colleagues to the DEI office for our various "microaggressions" which are usually because we said the wrong word or don't have an "Ally" sticker on our ID badge.

But, hey, I'm all for winning the future.

The exodus of Democratic Elites needs to begin with Chuck Schumer. He has failed us for years. We need to demand his retirement. LOUDLY. VOCALLY.

My 44 year old daughter was totally frustrated before the election saying to me "I don't want old people in Washington DC". Heads up, Dems. This is the future. It is here NOW.
