I was listening to a podcast the other day featuring two hard-left Americans in their late 30s. I won’t name names

The author claims that leftist podcasters are apathetic to social issues. After reading, I'm pretty sure that the only millennial podcaster this dipshit watched was Tim Pool.

Just as some boomers felt their progressive views on civil rights and feminism justified indifference — or hostility — to the gay rights movement that came later, aging millennials who feel they’ve proved themselves supportive of gay rights may find prissy and frivolous the younger generation’s insistence on things such as pronoun introductions and perfectly race- and gender-balanced workplaces.

Wut?

However, a shared loathing of the liberal establishment is probably the right’s most convincing case for leftist conversion.

If you hate libs, it means you are dumb and susceptible to right wing brain washing.

Fueled in part by anti-liberal animus, Sanders-to-Trump voters were a well-documented phenomenon that helped Republicans retake the White House in 2016.

There it is. Preemptively laying the blame for November's mid term losses on millennial leftists because they are *checks notes* apathetic.

    The place where I work is lib as heck and everyone's fine with putting their pronouns on their nametags etc. It's not a big deal; people just do it. I don't know how the pronoun gestapo narrative has taken off but I guess I shouldn't be surprised given the increasingly ridiculousness of the right-wing propaganda factories.

    Yes, the three of them did technically "help" the Republicans.

        Oh shoot, yeah, I forgot about that time everyone thought Canada passed a bill allowing trans people to legally exsanguinate you if you misgendered them.

      Yeah, it's become pretty normal to have your pronouns in your email sign-off. At first I thought it was just a university thing, but I'm seeing it at the company I'm at and other companies we work for. These guys can cry, shout, and shit themselves all they want, "the pronoun stuff" isn't going away.

      The writer's a gay conservative if it isn't obvious, by the way. They have to draw the line at gayness out of self-interest.
