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.

      Well conisdering Republcians openly base their platform on restricting people from voting I think it would be kosher. IIRC American Legislative Exchange Council was for a while openly saying that "when fewer people vote, we win more." But as always in Amerikkka, rules for thee and not for me.

        "Now many of our Christians have what I call the goo-goo syndrome — good government. They want everybody to vote. I don't want everybody to vote. Elections are not won by a majority of people, they never have been from the beginning of our country and they are not now. As a matter of fact, our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down."

        -Paul Weyrich, 1980
