You’ll notice that most of these people are in their 20s and 30s. That is no coincidence; it is clear that among the young staffer and operative class of the Republican Party are people with neo-Nazi sympathies and white supremacist views. Last year, for example, leaked messages from a group chat of Young Republicans from chapters across the country — who ranged in age from 18 to 40 — included racial slurs, support for Nazi ideas and a declaration of admiration for the leader of the Third Reich, all framed as jokes.

Holy shit, kudos to this guy for not doing the brain-dead and completely lazy nonsense of blaming all this horribleness on old people (or “boomers”).

People need to wake the fuck up and stop engaging in ageism and thinking “young people will save us”. First clue is that is the exact same shit boomers would tell each other when they were adolescents - they invented the “don’t trust anyone over 30” horseshit.

Because it’s not like the young are somehow magically inoculated against horribly stupid ideas. I’d say on things like vaccines, they may be arguably worse (measurably so) than boomers. And when it comes to understanding just where fascist ideas lead, they may be in the very worst position to resist this sort of thinking…
