So many American kids today have been brought up in hateful households whose parents are full on brainwashed against even the most moderate liberal. Since Rush Limbaugh started it on daytime radio.
I'm always reminded of the Borat scene on the RV of young men who he hitched a ride with. None of them knew it was a spoof. They spewed the most vile things about slavery being a good thing to demeaning women. And that was back in 2006, almost twenty years ago. Now those men probably are raising their own children to carry on the cycle of hate.
A lot of selfish, entitled brats out there who live for materialism and putting others down. A lot of them fall for the warning that "wokeism" is going to threaten their futures.
I think Democrats cannot underestimate the power of far right messaging, full of lies of course. But it works on grown ass adults, it will work on young people too.
