Now that we are a week at the time when the presidency of Donald J. Trump (has it been that long?), Let’s see how the country’s younger generations react to Trump’s return to power.

While the participation of the electorate among young people aged 18 and 29 decreased by 2024 compared to 2020 (42%, in opposition to 50%), Trump gained floor in each young demography. Young women went from 33% in 2020 to 41% in 2024, and young men went from 41% to 55% of the matrix the young people, therefore, discharged the president who asked them. Half of young people anyway. The other part is not happy, and they notice their dissatisfaction even with prayers, a new attitude and activism online.

It’s all politician this week, thank God. There is also an internet invasion through the exclusive character of Family Guy, Mr. Washee Washee and a viral video of Poppy Playtime, a video game that young people love and that all are confused.

Soon after Trump’s election in 2016, the youth-led #resistance movement sprung up, first as a hashtag and later in the form of defiant women’s marches and protests that millions attended nationwide. Things look a little different in 2024.

On Tiktok, opposition to Trump comes from signs that remind you to wear “cute winter boots” to “fight the ice. “So if you see this prayer on video, watch a secret message. The concept that the other people who oppose Donald Trump’s immigration policy oppose ice (i. e. , U. S. immigration and customs enforcement), so warning other people that they “wear pretty winter boots” is a coded way of saying, “I don’t like the president expelling a lot of other people.

Tiktok posters didn’t adopt a slogan like “Oh my God, fuck Donald Trump,” because they feel “cute winter boots” in all the censorship rules they think Tiktok uses (or something), so they post videos like this One, which adds some other “hidden” message with the phrase of “kill the cistem. “

Although I appreciate the adolescent opposition to the rooted strength structures, if you ask me, everything shrinks teeth (as young people say). Also: this “movement” is artificially swollen through other people who share it because it is very crunchy.

I don’t think the thing of the “winter boots” takes charge, but “Dark Woke” turns out to be, even if many of its practitioners do not call it that. Dark Woke is fundamentally waiting for misfortune to arrive for other people who voted for Donald Trump to worry about that. When his uncle Dave has to pay $ 38 for a salad because many migrants are expelled, a dark user wakes up can answer: “Ja, Hungry, ass. I don’t like the chaos of the government? I should have voted for Harris” . “

You have the idea. You can see as many examples as in Reddits such as R / Leopardatemyface and R / Trumpgrets.

Once again, if you ask me, it is a cynical, egocentric and finally dead movement, I do not think that many other people who voted for Trump suddenly admitted to having made a mistake, whatever happens. But really, what else does it do?

Many other people who pass the time in the Nerd -centered Reddit are reacting to the adaptation of Trump’s friend, Elon Musk, launching a gesture of suspicious hands at the president’s inauguration, in addition to Trump’s adjacence in Trump in general , through the prohibition of links with the social media site of Musk X.

The subnets to the block links X are R / NBA, which has 15 million members, R / Twoxosomes, which has 14 million members, and R / NFL, which has 12 million members.

Moving on from politics: the meme of the moment among other people would like a serious shovel. It features Mr. Washee Washee, an exclusive and retro-racist character from the Guy circle of relatives. Here is Washee’s appearance in the exhibition in 2011:

However, this clip is what turns viral. The viral component is local for this publication X of @Bollymen:

Given more than a million times, the Watch Post Washee Washee agreed on the music production show FL Studios with the query, “How can I get it out?”So there’s a bit of “I’m a user without any concept and something strange has happened; Help!”The fact that anyone who has helped elderly parents with technological upheavals relates, and that there is also the suggestion that Washee Washee has invaded the assignment of her own volition. Pretty funny. But this has become meme-worthy because you can answer the query with advice like “Have you tried whispering algebra in your ear?”And because you can put Mr. Washee Washee anywhere, ask “How can I get him out?”For example: your browser, or your X profile, or your Windows XP home screen.

The new trailer for the fourth game of the Poppy Playtime series noticed almost seven million times in 3 days, online. These games are a feeling among pre -adolescents, but they can be absolutely confused for anyone greater enough to vote, so here is an overview: strongly influenced in five nights in Freddy, the games games are in the first person, Loaded to survive, heavy with games games for young players. The existing story revolves around the player who discovers the misdeeds of Playtime Co. , a toy corporate who creates delicate games that act as bad in the game.

It seems that children respond to the scary but not too practical atmosphere of games and this vintage horror trope to make anything familiar and friendship (clowns, toys, etc. ) into something sinister. Kids like (and like to be scared) Huggy Wuggy, a giant blue/abomination toy with curved eyes, red lips, long limbs that other people quite unfortunate to meet him in a deserted toy factory like to eat.
