Modern Wisdom · “This Will Be The Most Violent Election Of Our Lifetime” - Robert Pape #1154 · 24 Sep 2026 podcast

Now, you're at the tipping point generation. matched

But there's a second social change, Chris, and this gets to your point on economics. matched

Side by side with this demographic shift has been a mass wealth shift to the top 1%. matched

This starts in the late 1980s. matched

In the late 1980s, the top 1% controlled about 17% of America's wealth. matched

That's a lot, but still 17%. matched

Today, at least as of two years ago, that's the most recent data, it's 26%. matched

What does that mean? matched

That means the bottom has lost all that money. matched

So when you are going to buy a house, when you're going to pay rent for an apartment, you suddenly have a negative pie over the last 30 years. matched

You're losing ground from where your parents are. matched

I call this wealth shift to the top 1%, putting the rest of us in a negative sum society where we're suddenly worse off economically with each passing year. matched

Now, what does that mean? matched

That means the people who have are worried they're going to have less and less and less. matched

And that also means that that combines with the demographic shift. matched

So you have a situation where with the demographic shift, you're worried the other party is going to get in power. matched

And what are they going to do? matched

They're going to help their own and they're going to take even more from you. matched

And both sides think that. matched
