attitudes are not really shifting if you talk to any high school students or even rank and file college students.

The media has partnered with the social democrats to forbid conversation under penalty of “personal destruction”.

Hollyweird and the NYC based media have no clue how real high school students laugh at the absurd social issues social democrats hold vital.

In the end, the social democrats and their pets will be the first eaten by the canabals/zombies/komisars.
