Tim Pool did a video about this yesterday, highlighted a handful of articles all pointing the same way. A number of different possible explanations exist for younger people latching onto a traditionally older-person's political party::
- one group (CIS straight white males) are told by the left they have an original sin (privilege) while offering no absolution
- some people switched sides after Bernie got shafted in 2016, perhaps more than expected
- when pop culture and teachers are all skewing left (not even comic books are safe), kids gotta push right to rebel
- online independent journos (often critical of PC culture) are seen as more trustworthy than the ad-hungry establishment media
I personally think it's just a case of the political pendulum swinging back. It's not great - we need a resurgence in moderates and centrists, not a push back to 'cut the taxes' conservatism - but I'd be lying if I said it isn't fun watching the modern day puritans squirm, attempting to appeal to the youth while simultaneously telling them to watch their language.
