This article makes it sound like young voters are being fooled by Socialism. As if they’d revert to Capitalism if we just explained it to them and they saw the light. I wish it was that easy to fix. The country has been on the path to Socialism for about 100 years since the Welfare State was implemented. Once transfer payments were implemented on a large scale, the idea that one group would get free government money from another group was normalized. Especially when politicians told everyone that they could get all kinds of benefits and that the “rich” would pay for them all. Free money paid for by the “rich.” And the benefits kept expanding and expanding. We were able to borrow for a long time to ease the pain. But now we are at the point where a lot of voters are willing to start confiscating wealth to keep the Ponzi scheme going. That’s not younger voters buying a lie. Its younger voters taking the next step in a system that older voters have been living for decades.
All true. And the article, with its big fat picture of Bernie Sanders, does point out that the roots of socialism are old (and broken).
That said, the article citing a Rasmussen Reports poll does point out a young voter problem.
According to a Heartland Institute/Rasmussen Reports poll at the end of 2025, nearly 60% of likely voters aged 18 to 24 want a democratic socialist in the White House in 2028.
Younger voters tend to be naive of history and of the past. And they are a product of our corrupt anti American public school system.
Now a number of those younger votes will eventually evolve away from voting socialist, but that 60% starting point seems historically high.
Now that we’re given 1000 bucks per child born, we just added another government giveaway. How much you wanna make that Muslims and other others will be having as many children as they can to continue milking the cow
