I appreciated some of the points made in this conversation, but for the most part it seemed pretty dated and out of touch. I think these authors are profoundly underestimating the radical shift to the left of Gen Z and younger in particular. There are consequences to the ideological capture of our public schools and universities. And I’m pretty concerned that things are only going to get worse, not better. The demographics will win out.
Also, as a 42 year old woman who has been a lifelong Republican (not a member, just always voted that way) I am used to but still resent the tired story that Democrats were the party of the working class, the party of the people, the party who cares about the downtrodden and so forth. Having a difference of opinion about the policies that best bring about the welfare of the people doesn’t mean right-leaning people are heartless, money-loving bigots. We conservatives are looking around at the decay and the insanity and shaking our heads because we saw this all coming clear as day 30 years ago.
Gen Z (high-school age early college) are not what they seem!! Remember they have to pretend to be woke not to be chastised in class. But when my kids and their friends are over they are terrifyingly anti-woke!!! Trump is their favorite by far. All day long they have to pretend to hate themselves, at home they kick off the bridle.
