Since 2020, the amount of Conservative extremism in the United States has spiked—showcasing a disturbing trend. Through events like the ReAwaken America tour and Insurrection Day, the negative side effects of radically partisan views appear in damaging ways. “I think there’s definitely an issue with conservative extremism lately based off a lot of factors, but mostly with the concerning amount of white supremacist groups that have actually gotten the backing of conservative politicians, like Jan 6th and the Proud Boys,” magnet sophomore Rory Pulley said.

Since the 1990’s, elected officials in numerous states have made unsuccessful attempts to lower the voting age to 16, sometimes even younger. A constitutional amendment to lower the US voting age to 16 would require approval from two-thirds of both houses of Congress and three-fourths of the state legislatures. Yet, the majority of Americans oppose this idea due to adolescents’ lack of maturity and knowledge of politics.

Allowing 16-year-olds the right to vote changes the world for the better. Voter turnout increases and older teens obtain real-world experience of voting for who they think benefits them the most.

What Trump’s impeachment means for him and the country

After President Donald Trump made the executive decision to drop airstrikes in Baghdad that killed Iran’s top general, Qasem Soleimani, Americans started to speculate that Trump intended to start a conflict with Iran in order to distract Americans from his impeachment trials. “I used the game Jenga as inspiration for this political cartoon. The tower is supposed to represent the country’s stability and that’s why the American character carefully makes a move to bring impeachment into the picture. When Trump sees this he gets angry and decides to ruin the game by taking ‘revenge’ and taking out a block that would make the tower come crashing down,” NC Chant cartoonist Luis Ponce said.
