A new national survey conducted by conservative think tank Manhattan Institute found that Millennial Republicans are more likely to call themselves racist than Baby Boomer Republicans.

A total of 34% of Republican survey respondents between the ages of 30 and 49 answered “I am such person” when asked for their views on individuals who openly express racist views. Only 3% of Republican survey respondents over the age of 65 answered “I am such person.”

A total of 23% of Republican survey respondents between the ages of 18 and 29 and 6% between the ages of 50 to 64 also answered “I am such person.”

    What the fuck is this entire sentence?

    David Hirsch, former Republican candidate for New York State Assembly, on X: “While there are a lot of positives in this poll, there are some disturbing trends being influenced by the Woke Right like rising Holocaust Denialism, and that 12% are antisemitic and 19% accept them. We can fix this and other issues.”

      Yeah this is just because woke means nothing coherent to right wingers. To the left, it means to be aware of systemic problems such as racism and the class war. To the right, it just means “person I disagree with”
