MODERATORS
They know fiscal conservatism is wildly unpopular with younger people, so they're pivoting to Nazbolism in a desperate attempt to attract a powerbase that's not going to die off in the next 20 years.
And depressingly, I think there's a decent chance it works. I know way too many young people who seem to be going down this pipeline IRL. Hoping I'm in a weird bubble, worried I'm not.
I think there's a weird competitiveness among younger people who believe in Pink Capitalism and your proto-National Bolsheviks who are socially incredibly prurient and prescriptive but who loathe capitalism because of the transparent sense of destructive self-interest behind it. I personally dislike both of those systems, so I'm not sure who I'm rooting for in that particular ideological dogfight.
