Gen Z = voters under 30. Robert Spencer at PJ Media explains the mid-term election
results:
If Della Volpe’s numbers are
correct, and 64% of voters between the ages of 18 and 29 really voted for
Democrats, then one thing is clear: the corruption and politicization of our
educational system has worked.
. . .
What he is crowing about is the
apparent fact that the voting group with the least life experience and the most
recent subjection to the Leftist indoctrination that dominates America’s
educational system ended up voting as it was brainwashed to do. Gee, that’s
terrific, if you like evidence of the success of the relentless propagandizing
of a vulnerable and impressionable captive audience, but neither John Della
Volpe nor anyone else should be proud of it. What it shows is not that the
Leftist case is compelling or persuasive; it shows that patriotic Americans
have been far too complacent in allowing public schools to become centers of
Leftist indoctrination and hatred of our own nation and heritage.
. . .
. . . In China, Communist leader
Mao Zedong began the Long March in 1934 to evade nationalist forces; the term,
however, came to be associated with his slow, steady, patient rise to power,
culminating in the Communist takeover of mainland China in 1949. The Long March
Through the Institutions was the same kind of slow, steady takeover, as
Communists, leftists, and their allies gradually gained control of America’s
colleges and universities, its primary and secondary educational systems, its
popular culture, and above all its ever-growing federal bureaucracy.
Mr Spencer concludes:
Many, if not most, of the Gen Z-ers
who voted overwhelmingly for the Left will, as they get older, come to realize
how foolish and wrongheaded they were to support socialist internationalism and
the managed decline of the United States. But others will never wake up, and
will applaud that decline as retribution for centuries of alleged racism and
colonialism. Even as their own cities and towns become ever more squalid, poor,
dirty, and dangerous, they will continue to think of themselves as righteous
for having chosen all that. That pride will be all they have left.
