I would take this seriously simply because of the emerging millennial vote. These people have been so corrupted by left-wing media that they consider AOC & her ilk heroines in some imaginary battle.
People wonder how the Germans, an intelligent people, could have voted in someone like Hitler. The Nazi party, like the leftist radicals, were a product of the cultural miasma.
We are living in very scary times.
Also, there is no world wide gigantic monetary depression right now! Nor is there horrendous inflation, as was the case in Germany in the 1930s!
And then there was the historic anti-Semetism that was pervasive throughout much of Europe and still is.
