Story number one. There's a new Fox News survey that finds that 38% of voters say it would be a good thing for the U.S. to move away from capitalism and towards socialism. That's an all-time high. 61% view socialism negatively. Did you hear me?
What narratives are left-leaning politicians using to influence voters?
38% of voters said it would be a good thing for the US to move away from capitalism and towards socialism. How do we overcome that? How do you think we got that? I mean, excuse me, not 37, 38% of voters say it would be a good thing for the US to move away from capitalism and towards socialism. 61% view socialism negative, but you still have a large number And by the way, the shift, they say, may be tied, may be divided views on capitalism itself as voters are split over whether capitalism in the United States is working well. 51% say it's working very or somewhat well, but nearly as many, this would be your left, your Dems, 49% say it's working not very or not at all well. That can explain to you the rise of Mondani, for example, right?
And AOCs, like they have gone under the core belief that, And the core point and the attack and the obsession that America is somehow evil in its existence and that capitalism is the drug that is evil in America. And that if we were all just somehow the same, because part of this is the left knows that a lot of their voters are poor and they want to convince them that the system's working against them, right? Not for them. And so they're like, hey, help us take from the rich. This is the Robin Man syndrome, as I call it, where you get a lot of people that do great because they work their AWS's off. And you have a lot of people that don't. And then they're like, well, I want what they have, but they're not going to do the work or study hard or go to school or whatever it may be.
And so there's a jealousy. And then you have politicians come around. They're like, hey, there's enough of you guys are angry and jealous that I can convince you. That you're not failing, but the system is against you and rigged against you.
How does personal responsibility factor into political beliefs?
