Possibly, but I think it benefits Trump more. For instance, my fiancee's mother is one of those republicans that barely follows politics, so only knows what she hears from friends, coworkers (public school system), headlines, and 3 minutes of MSM a day. She voted Trump in '16 but now buys into the whole "he's a bumbling racist buffoon," narrative. Tons of anti-Trump memes from her lately. But now she just stated she'll hold her breath and vote Trump because the SCOTUS nomination is too important, effects country (and her kids/grandkids) for decades to come. So... if anything I think this benefits Trump.

It will bring the millennials out to vote who don't care for Biden or Harris. They are a large demographic

Doubtful. Most in my generation -- outside of the very politically aware, or actually educated and understanding of civics and how the system works -- have absolutely no understanding of how important something like this is, and the long-term influence and effects it has on the country for decades. Obviously some do, but it's a small number and definitely not enough to bring the kind of apathetic voter that wasn't going to vote to change their mind now and vote.

This is generally true for any generation. I would say that only the very political 10-20% understands the importance and cares about SC nominations.

They will use it to spark energy. It may or may not happen but that is their intent and the timing of her death is my point. It was planned and we all knew it would happen.

Can just as easily spark demoralization, and based on reading plebbit comments, it is lol

When the murder hobos come out and looting turns into shooting, you may get blowback.

I agree. Also -- tell her to stop parroting the MSM and her coworkers. Try to talk some sense into her.

I do, but very gently. It's my too-be mother-in-law, so I have to tread lightly. Thankfully, my fiancee has learned quite a lot from me, and become very politically aware herself, so she drops a lot of red pills to her mom (but it typically ends in her mom going "agree to disagree" or calling her a conspiracy theorist lol)

I think I'm in an almost-identical situation. I've (gently) red-pilled my wife and weaned her off of NBC's nightly "news", which I replace with Tim Pool's commentary in our house.

I brought up Tim Pool to my wife's mom, and she skeptically asked what Tim's certifications and credentials were, seemed uninterested, and kept watching NBC (and I didn't push after that).

On a somewhat related note, my wife likes what Tim Pool has to say, but she wishes he had a calmer and less-panicked delivery. I think she likes how professional and polished the alphabet-soup "news"-networks are.

These are much less over the top and have great classical delivery without being dull.
