Apparently @jamestalarico won with a huge turnout from young adults. Want to know why? Here is my guess: On social media, the algorithms give you more of what you consume. Talarico’s messages are positive. To the point of being “syrupy”. Voters that committed to watching his social posts, got more of not only his posts, but also other positive messages. Contrast that with historically negative messaging across past elections, and I think the contrast was striking and motivational for many. Enough to draw record numbers to a primary. It may be crazy to some, but the idea of “my feed and FYP got better the more I watched his videos” is enough to get voters excited to support and vote for him. Call it “PositivityMaxxing” 😂. But I truly believe that candidates that can give positive messages, authentically and confidently , can be part of a new successful trend. Regardless of party or office. Thoughts ?

Recessions don’t hit all parts of the country equally. IMO, small cities, towns and states will get hit the worst. And it won’t be pretty. They are more dependent on federal spending, so they will feel the brunt of federal spending cuts and job reductions disproportionately. They can be catastrophic to a town. Because they are smaller, and more expensive to reach, they are more susceptible to the impact of tariffs and will be the first to see their product shipments cut when there are shortages, and their prices will go up more as a result. They will see fabrics of their communities cut. The local museum. The local health clinic. And so much more cut. The stories of the economy won’t be told here. They won’t be told in GDP numbers. They will play out in the small town newspapers (that are left ) across the country. wvhumanities.org/grants/abou… marshfieldnewsherald.com/sto… oudaily.com/news/norman-weat…

Anyone consider that maybe Elon’s mission, is for Elon to get what he wants, rather than the country to get what you voted for ? It’s not a shock for Elon , or anyone, to put their personal goals first Elon seems to be on a mission to protect brand Elon at all costs. No ? Free Speech is everything. Until it’s anything related to Elon. Who has complete control over speech here on X The censorship of the platform you adore is in the hands of a single person, who is on a mission to make himself the most powerful person in the world. above and beyond the President of the United States.
