Tonight Pete Hegsmeth, filling in for Jesse, hit on a theme I've been preaching for awhile now.
Ever since the cultural revolution of the 60's, those leaning left have been gravitating toward careers in media, education, scientific institutions, big business, entertainment, government, religion, and those in turn mentored like minded protogys and interns so that the leftism became more and more entrenched and pushed further left and became further extreme until it now seems to millions to be the cultural norm.
As a result no one born after Gen X has ever experienced what the WWII and Boomers would consider 'normal.' To the younger people now coming of age and beginning to vote, they have never heard that the Founders ever did anything good or significant, but they were all greedy slave owners. They've never been taught that the South had real grievances that had nothing to do with slavery but think they were all evil anti-Americans who fought to keep people slaves. They have never been taught anything other than Keynesian and socialist economics. Because we no longer have a 4th Estate, they know nothing of what was accomplished via tax reform, reduced regulation, a secure border, free trade infused with fairness etc.
They've never been taught that climate has been changing and changing dramatically long before the Industrial Revolution and they have always been taught that AGW is the worst threat humankind has ever faced. They are conditioned to believe migrants over running the border is normal, that it is normal and righteous to change pronouns that don't fit the 'woke' theology, that if you don't like your gender, change it, and if it wasn't for evil narrow minded bigoted racist Republicans and MAGAs there would be no war, no poverty, no suffering.
Our culture, our institutions, our language, and our vote is beginning to reflect all of that.
And I honestly don't know if there are enough people left who know our real history, who have studied real economics, etc. to turn it around.
