It’s a monumental moment that has given some survivors hope for change, nearly 12 years after 26 first graders and educators were killed in the shooting.

    I wonder which way many of these new voters lean. Willing to bet on the general direction of the group as a whole. There’s always outliers, but I’m pretty confident on this one.

      I remember a story from one of schools that got shot up. There was always one that got highlighted in right wing news. They were going to be the Kyle Rittenhouse spokes like person but I think they couldn’t stand being ridiculed by everyone

      I know a guy who was a student there when it happened. Newtown is white-bread upper-middle Connecticut. Fairly conservative, in the actual sense, not the Republican sense. They’ve been fairly evenly split in the past few presidential elections. While some of the people directly affected might lean more left, I’m not sure if it’s a significant number.
