Okay, amazing.

So Donald Trump's rhetoric has specifically been linked to bullying cases in elementary, middle, and high school.

What we see are also that Donald Trump and Elon Musk are working in tandem to access young people through their phone screens.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk worked to reduce Twitter protections, and we saw the firing of staff that worked to specifically set children's guidelines.

We now see about one quarter of young people that are online are on Twitter, and they're accessing media, because also the algorithm has been changed to make sure that Elon Musk content and far-right content are boosted by about 1,000%, and that's been measured by a variety of studies.

And so our young Americans, while they're on their phones without parental supervision, are absorbing rhetoric that psychologists have measured to be damaging not only to their minds, but to their peers' minds.

This has nothing to do with the political campaign.

Surrounded
1 LGBTQ+ Activist vs 25 Conservatives (ft. Zander Moricz)

It has everything to do with changing the political culture and working to specifically target young people.

That's why they're banning books.

Surrounded
1 LGBTQ+ Activist vs 25 Conservatives (ft. Zander Moricz)

That's why they're trying to restrict information that our children have access to and trying to give them a broken worldview so that when they continue to idolize Donald Trump and Elon Musk, they won't know the line of when they've gone too far.

And that's a huge problem.

Surrounded

We should not have the most powerful person in the world who's setting an example for our young people,

who most of our young people say they recognize as the most powerful person in the world, sharing hate speech that we see manifest in elementary school classrooms.
