In the non -distant 2019 – well -known in Greece – Communications and Democrat Stanley Greenberg predicted the collapse of the Republican Party in his book “RIP GOP” due to the privileged direction of the Democrats in many promising demographics and their immigrants.
Six years later, the dynamics developed by the hyper -conservative activist leads to the overthrow of any previous position on the electoral and ideological influence on.
Data and obligations
Just the listing of statistics is sufficient: the Youth Turning Point (TPUSA), which is a “child” of Kerk, today claims to have 250,000 members and is active in thousands of campuses, from small, private, Christian universities to the Ivy League.
This is coming to support the last election, where the large conservative lineup managed to close the “gap” of voters between 18 and 29, from 24 points to 4 points difference from the Democratic Party.
Thus, the loss of the 31 -year -old activist gives an opportunity for the historic US Right to re -confirm his ties with this particular, critical age mass, in which Kerk managed to make conservative values attractive again, in places that were still considered politicians. New York Times and Wall Street Journal reports make the same conclusion.
Kerk has been a decisive figure in the use of social media and public dialogue, creating a new class influencers and creating careers of many politicians who have been militant with the Maga movement and recognizing the decisive role he played in their emergence.
In this context, it is not only strange that younger MPs, such as Anna Polina Luna of Florida or Nancy North Carolina, are rushing to declare faith in the new symbol of the American Right, saying that they either owe it to it,
It is an ovid transformation, if one considers that Mace is one of the seven Republicans who refused to question the outcome of the 2020 presidential election, as opposed to Kerk.
New Political Opportunities
The juncture also makes it logical the intra-party division of the Kerk’s fan base as this, in addition to the potential in long-term electoral efficiency, proves to be particularly useful in its ability to mobilize on a small scale and “door-to-door”, thus constituting it.
The official Republican leadership did not waste any time anyway. The corpse of Kerk was transferred to Arizona, where he lived with his family, with US Vice President Jay Di Vance aircraft, and accompanied by the latter who even canceled his plans to attend a September 11th event in New York.
It is indicative that some Republicans have even reached the point of comparing Kerk’s case with that of the iconic hero for political rights Martin Luther King, referring to a “true American witness”.
The fact that while he lived he did not have the best view of King and the legislative act of civil rights of 1964 that prohibits discrimination due to race, color, religion, sex and national origin – in the logic that it has inaugurated a bureaucracy structured around the principles of diversity, equality and equality.
