Why young, left-wing radicals could help re-elect President Trump

MORE ON: MILLENNIALS More millennials subscribe to video games than traditional paid TV Millennials are actually having better sex than you Affluent millennials ditching New York clearly don't like them Big Apples Nearly 1 in 3 side hustlers need the money just to pay bills “It was traumatizing,” said Juniper, age 19. “It was sort of a personal attack, or at least it felt that way.”

“It really is their 9/11,” said Laila, 26. “Not that I’m attempting in any way to equate the loss of so many precious lives to an individual that was elected to office.”

Angry and anguished over Donald Trump’s 2016 victory, the Zillennials — leftist millennial and Generation Z activists — continue to fuel the anti-Trump resistance.

And they just might get him re-elected in 2020.

That’s because their ideology of intersectionality, and its full-frontal attack on moderation and compromise in American politics, “is a gift to Trump and those who continue to support him,” writes Robby Soave in “Panic Attack: Young Radicals in the Age of Trump” (All Points Books), out Tuesday.

Soave spoke to dozens of young activists to paint a sprawling portrait of the political unrest that Trump’s presidential campaign set ablaze. Intersectionality, he found, is at the heart of leftist movements from antifa to #MeToo to Black Lives Matter.

Yet every bit of political unrest is astroturfed by the left.

What are their real issues with Donald Trump? Can they name a single policy that they object to? Or do they just mouth off a list of leftist political tripe that does not say anything? “I hate Trump because he is racist, sexist, bigoted, insert leftist dog-whistle terms here, old white guy” is not actually a substantive objection to him. All that stringing terms like that together does is demonstrate an inability to engage in critical thought.

I’m not worried about the millenials. I’m worried about ballot harvesting and illegal aliens voting.

“Intersectionality, he found, is at the heart of leftist movements from antifa to #MeToo to Black Lives Matter...”

That word alone is executable.

Fake news.

It’s not an ideology their generation created.

It is instead an ideology their parents and teachers have long pursued, but which they do not have the patience or guile to pursue hiddenly.

Their indoctrination was flawed, and they believe their agenda enjoys an overwhelming popularity. They see no reason to hide it.

Millennials are actually having better sex than you

I doubt that.

To me the Kenyanesian Usurpation was like a gut punch.

I did not think every one of our appointed and elected would fail to uphold the Constitution.

I was thrilled that Trump won.
I watched election night Youtube videos for months.
The angst on the left is entertaining, even sometimes among those wearing R jerseys.
We weren’t supposed to be able to elect a President like Trump that sides with the citizens and the rule of law.

Say that a few times quickly, while thinking about their political preferences, and it takes on a whole new meaning...

Many, many years ago I got really plastered and I was over at my friend’s apartment and when I woke up I too, was in the living between two sectionals that were put together so, and had to Slither up between them and crawl to the bathroom at o dark thirty...I can safely say that yes I understand intersectionality in that regard

Right now, the Dem party is like a dog trying to chew its own leg off. I fully support this effort.

Not that the GOP is any better but anything that helps Trump win in 2020 is alright in my book.

“I’m not worried about the millenials. I’m worried about ballot harvesting and illegal aliens voting.”

You nailed it. That scares me about 2020 worse than anything. That & the lack of willingness of Pubbies to be all over those voting places like white on rice.

The red diaper babies in Brooklyn are to blame....they created it, they can’t control it.

Regardless of what happens in 2020, this is America’s future.

Demographics may be destiny in Amerika.

What?

Did you notice that, "MORE ON: MILLENNIALS More millennials subscribe to video games than traditional paid TV Millennials are actually having better sex than you Affluent millennials ditching New York clearly don't like them Big Apples Nearly 1 in 3 side hustlers need the money just to pay bills" is not part of the article? Or that it isn't even a sentence?

Otherwise, interesting article.
