Is This What Caused Young People to Move Toward the Right?
Matt Vespa


Are things beginning to change? Often, it was the Democrats who knew how to maximize institutional power and play the long game. They still have it on the former, but they might have screwed themselves on the latter. The Obama coalition was on life support heading into the 2024 election. Now, that movement has been obliterated as healthy numbers of union voters and young people have flocked to the Republican Party, specifically Donald Trump. You saw it on college campuses, fraternities especially—everyone was donning MAGA gear and doing the president’s iconic dance.

It's not a one-off thing: trends show that young people are veering toward the right on politics. What happened? Here’s where we get to Democrats maybe blowing up their future over Donald Trump: the COVID hysterics peddled by the Left, which turned out to be fake, eviscerated the credibility of the medical and political elites. The people labeled loons and conspiracy theorists turned out to be right. The Fauci bros turned out to be science fiction merchants. And if the media wants to whine about how we’re not ready for the next pandemic, they only need to look at who they gave airtime to during the era of COVID insanity. Derek Thompson of The Atlantic, who wrote about this shift, delved into how COVID turned the young toward the conservative end of the political spectrum. But remember, this is The Atlantic—so keep the prose in mind and how we're viewed here.

The libs thought they had something with COVID to grab power, with all the trillions we are now finding to fund their apparatus, so they basically thought they were invincible, jumped the shark, and it all blew up in their faces.

Neither the first or last time it has and will happen.
