JONAH GOLDBERG: YOUTH POLITICS ARE A LAZY FORM OF IDENTITY POLITICS.

My objection to youth politics is simply one facet of my objection to identity politics — but it’s also a part of my objection to populism. That’s because youth politics is a form of populism. It claims that passion and the group are more important than reason and the individual. It is the passion of the crowd. And when grown-ups bow before the rising generation, it is a form of power-worship. “Children are the future!” is literally true in the sense that they will be alive after the rest of us are dead. But that does not absolve the rest of us from our responsibilities. Nor does it negate arguments that young people don’t want to hear.

WAIT, WHAT? ‘Roseanne’ reboot knocked for inconsistency of working-class champion supporting Trump.

I totally understand that argument. But it’s built on the notion that a person who fights for the underdog, rails against racism, embraces the LGBT community, and supports women’s rights cannot believably support Trump. That may be unbelievable in the entertainment industry, but elsewhere it’s certainly possible to find Trump supporters who defy stereotypes. Indeed, almost 63 million Americans voted for Trump. Real Clear Politics’ polling average currently puts his approval rating at 40 percent, implying that well over 100 million Americans would say they approve of him if you could ask everyone.
