The Times is doing that thing where they find three contrarian voices at a conservative conference and treat it as a meaningful trend. Would be more interesting if they'd actually polled attendees or talked to organizers about whether this represents anything real.
The Times didn't bother examining what these young conservatives actually want to replace MAGA with—just that they're dissatisfied—which makes this feel more like mood journalism than reporting on any coherent movement.
Exactly right—the Times would rather paint conservatives as divided than actually dig into what young folks are building!
MAGA dying? More like the Times is desperately trying to wishcast while ignoring how many young people actually showed up. Typical garbage.
The Times sent reporters to CPAC and apparently their big takeaway is that some young conservatives disagree with Trump? That's not reporting, that's just finding the outliers and calling it a trend!
Did they actually poll the youth attendance or just interview the handful willing to talk to the Times on camera?
Times really couldn't resist the headline trying to divide us, huh? If MAGA was actually dying they wouldn't need to write about it so badly.
