How TikTok’s Algorithm Poisoned the Minds of Young, Liberal Women
The Daily Signal ^ | February 04, 2026 | Brent Buchanan

Ninety-one percent.

That’s the share of young liberal women who oppose deportations of illegal immigrants. In a country where 61% of voters support deportation efforts, one demographic has positioned itself further from the American mainstream than any other group in modern polling.

This hasn’t shown itself in just one issue. It’s a pattern. And understanding it explains a lot about our current political dysfunction.

The inversion here is striking. White young liberal women oppose deportations at 94%. Their non-white counterparts? Eighty-three percent opposed.

The women who look least like the people being deported hold the strongest opposition. The women who share ethnic backgrounds with many deportees are 11 points less absolute in their position.

We’re not measuring empathy. We’re measuring ideology. The positions don’t correlate with proximity to the issue. They correlate inversely with it.

Women 55 and older support deportations 66-27. Men of all ages support them by similar margins. But women under 55 flip to 42-53 opposition. Drill into that cohort and you find young liberal women driving the entire gender gap single-handedly.

A chasm separates them from the general electorate. It goes beyond disagreement to being in a parallel universe.

The Algorithm Did This

Values didn’t change generationally. Your grandmother and your 28-year-old cousin both believe in fairness, family, and compassion. What changed is information architecture.

Forty percent of young liberal women are highly online, 40% are watching national broadcast news, and a third get news from TikTok. They’re triple-dosing on media that reinforces identical narratives from different platforms.

Compare that to the general electorate: only 8% use TikTok as a news source. When one group’s primary information channel differs from everyone else’s by a factor of four, they’re not seeing the same country.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

The sources of information matter. These women get it from the CCP. I see the issue as people rely on CCP-influenced media for everything.

Drill into the details, one sees future cat ladies, childless and single, bemoaning their situation..... But they will have 'nice' tattoos.

I’m not buying this story at all. This all comes down to stupid people being radicalized by the educational institutions, paid protesters influencing stupid people and then herd mentality by people incapable of rational thought.

I’m thinking there’s a possibility the COVID jab may have affected many brains or at the very least those who bought into the COVID BS lockdowns and that continue to mask etc. That era definitely changed a lot of people.

I believe even more strongly now than I have in the past that the 19th amendment was one of this America’s biggest mistakes.

Modern society is set up to give non-stop ego strokes to women, while providing them so many choices amongst men that they can’t make choices and they end up missing out on their internal desire and joy to have children.

I'm in my 60s. I find most women under 50 toxic (including my own family).

I detest the ingrained victimhood and self-righteousness that seems to overtake any sense of human authenticity. Real people are hard to find. Females, even more-so.

“Now TikTok is not Chinese, it’s Tel Aviv and Ellison spyware.”

In three years if young women start sounding like AIPAC and the Anti-Defamation League we are all going to have a good laugh....
