The American Dream is slipping away and socialism is filling the gap

By Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker Not long ago, the American Dream followed a familiar script. Graduate from school, find a job, buy a modest home, start a family, and gradually build a better life than the generation before you. For many young Americans today, that script increasingly feels like historical fiction. A recent survey from Rasmussen Reports reveals a striking generational divide: younger Americans are far more likely than older voters to view socialism favorably. According to the survey, 44 percent of voters under 40 believe socialism is a better system, compared with only 12 percent of older Americans.

Situational Outrage: How Democrats Normalize Political Violence

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice In an hour-long, self-described "rip the band-aid off" moment on Instagram, U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez reports that even if certain top Democrats get President Joe Biden to withdraw his election bid, they won't be satisfied. They want Vice President Kamala Harris out too, she said, indicating Democrats are saying one thing in public and another in private. "I feel like there have been a lot of smokescreens and people have not been given the whole story," Ocasio-Cortez said. "I don't have a crystal ball and don't know what all is going on." She added: "That debate sucked. It sucked for everybody. It was just like not great." Ocasio-Cortez indicates influential Democrats are seeking more than just Biden's removal. “A lot of the...
