Roseanne Barr (of all people) may have said it best, “I’m still the same. You all moved. You went so far out you lost everyone!” That certainly feels true, and new polls are showing that millennials and young people are starting to swing towards the right. It’s far from a won battle, but the mainstream left has wholeheartedly embraced extremist platforms.
Do you remember when the fight for a $15 an hour minimum wage started? It was a joke. No serious business owner or operator gave them any attention. Everyone with even the slightest education knew that such an extreme increase in the minimum wage would devastate the economy. And then, the extremist liberal footholds in the country began their experiments. Low-income workers in Seattle have suffered enormously under the policies. New York and California are now seeing mass exoduses because major businesses can’t stay afloat.
Well, this is more than just a phenomenon. It has a central point, and that point aims right at Bernie Sanders. He promised a lot of young, impressionable voters a lot of free stuff, and they fell for it. The DNC saw his campaign as such a significant threat that they have embraced several of his most dangerous ideas. That may have been the plan all along. One of his main guys explains it in this video.
