The left succeeded in the long march through the institutions, a term coined by Communist student activist Rudi Dutschke (inspired by Italian communist Antonio Gramsci) to describe the strategy for establishing the conditions for revolution: subverting society by infiltrating institutions such as the academia, media, entertainment et al.

Nearly Half Of Young Americans Say It’s Okay To Fire People Who Support Trump
By Glenn T. Stanton, The Federalist, July 31, 2020
The Cato Institute just released a new report showing that 62 percent of Americans are inclined to self-censor what they say politically “because others might find them offensive.” Even moderate leftists report they feel increased fear of offending the offendable, while only the most “staunch liberals,” as Cato described them, feel free to speak their minds. The “very conservative” have been pushed deepest in the closet: they are most likely to refrain from saying what they think politically, at nearly twice the rate of the “very liberal.”
Buried deeper in the report, however, is a stunning data point that might be one of the most troubling current cultural indicators. Forty-four percent of Americans younger than age 30 believe a company is correct in firing an executive because he or she personally donated to President Trump’s reelection campaign.
The companion finding was also disturbing. Twenty-seven percent of people under 30 said they were fine with an executive being fired because he or she donated to the Joe Biden campaign. The means that of Americans under 30 years old, 73 percent think it would be wrong to fire an executive from a company for donating to the Biden campaign, while only 56 percent believe it would be wrong to do so for a Trump donation.
While this problem is most pronounced among those under 30, it isn’t exclusive to young people. Across all age ranges, 78 percent said it would be wrong to fire an executive for making a personal donation to Biden, while only 69 percent believe it’s wrong to fire one simply for being a Trump donor.
This means a remarkably high number of fellow citizens believe it’s virtuous to punish you for your personal political beliefs, even if you express them merely through one private political donation, with the loss of your family’s livelihood.
People throw the word “fascist” around today much too carelessly for it to be useful. If that word can be applied to an everyday person, however, someone who believes you should lose your job based on who you vote for is a pretty sturdy working definition. Of course, this has less to do with the names of the 2020 candidates and more to do with how an alarming number of Americans today seem to know precious little about what it means to live in a representative democracy.
This brings us to the second most disturbing revelation of this report: the declining cognitive and logical rigor of today’s youth. Would these findings have been any different if the question had been, “Would you support firing a business executive solely for holding political beliefs you disagree with?”
There is only one right answer among decent people. “Yes” and “It depends” are unacceptable. But a disturbingly high number of Americans think such a firing would be perfectly fine when triggered by specific politicians’ names.
To consider just how troubling this turn is, let’s improve the polling question to see if it sounds any better: “Would you support an employer, without any threat of job loss, trying to reason with and persuade by way of facts and data why executives should vote for one candidate over another?” It’s scary to think what the polling numbers for this might be.
It was not all that long ago that the liberal clarion value was the misattributed Voltairean principle, “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” Today that seems to have been replaced with the brutally authoritarian, “I disagree with what you believe, and I will make sure you lose your livelihood because I went digging and found out you made a private campaign contribution to someone I think is evil.”
If, God forbid, the autopsy of the American experiment is ever written, this growing expectation that political submission be a condition of one’s employment will certainly be noted as a significant stage in its demise. It demonstrates that the world’s most hopeful self-government is moving in a very bad direction, and that should profoundly bother us all.

Their Marxist educational upbringing is paying off. The liberal media reinforces their twisted world view. You can call it them the Red Guard, Hitler youth, useful idiots or refer to this as the long march…it doesn’t matter. Youth is exploited because they are ignorant and known to have not developed the reasoning portion of their brain yet. They are emotionally driven and this was the ideology that was transplanted in their brain. Later in life, it is so ingrained that they can’t be reasoned with or pride keeps them captive to these teachings.
It’s not just happening in higher higher education. It is in PRE K through 12th grade!

And that, my friends, is why the 26th Amendment should be repealed in the same way the 18th Amendment (Prohibition) had been. If they’re that hardened, they are a permanently lost cause.

If your County contained a College or University, the political scene shifted to the Left after 18 year olds got the vote and the campus student association members registered locally instead of their home residence. In the case of Yolo County, CA, UC Davis students shifted a largely agricultural County from Republican to Democrat.

Very well and truly stated. I am constantly baffled and shocked that so very few of us to the right of center understand this. I have had way too many of my peers say that,”Oh well, they are spoiled little brats just going through a phase, they will get over it”. What absurd, self destructive, suicidal thinking. I have this absolute dread for the innocent, defenseless people when the POTUS is re-elected this fall. I am utterly convinced that Mr. Trump will have to invoke the Insurrection Act, because these insane masses will literally be out to kill. Unless the “mail ins” allow for the LibTurds to steal the election.

Horkheimer remained active until his death in 1973. He was a founder of the infamous ‘Frankfort School’, and was obviously a Marxist.
Do you know what, if any, precautions were taken or thwarted to guard against the very subject of that quote. It almost seems, given the long execution of such plans, that nothing was put in place.

One has to wonder what these young adults were taught in the schools, colleges and universities as they were growing up. All this strong leftist, socialist, communist beliefs among young adult must have had a source in what these young people were taught as they grew up. So now we have here in the United States a generation of young adults who hate the United States, they think this is a terrible racist government that must be over thrown.

IT IS THE PARENTS FAULT BECAUSE THEY IGNORED THEIR CHILDREN AND DID NOT GIVE A DAMN HOW MALEDUCATED THEY BECAME! The children are ignorant druggies and it is the failed parenting, the couldnot care less parenting that is at fault. The Question is have they, the parents, learned anything? Do they have any/enough regrets to save this nation and their children now? We will see in November.

This is proof positive that the 26th Amendment SHOULD and MUST be voided, nullified, repealed and rescinded, and the voting age INCREASED to at least 26 and possibly even 30. If they are that indoctrinated, radicalized, and fascistically intolerant, then they shouldn’t even be allowed within 1,000 feet of a voting booth or polling precinct.
Young people have been the WORST in terms of political activity, and have been involved in among the most insidious, dangerous and violent cultural, political and social revolutions in history.

All of this was promulgated in the hippie manifesto of the early sixties entitled “The Port Huron Statement”, primarily authored by one Tom Hayden, ex-husband of marginal actress “Hanoi Jane” Fonda.
In it, they call for taking over control of the universities and the Democratic Party which they deemed “the loci of power”.
Take a look around. The media is simply their “icing on the cake”.

I do not know what is meant by young but it is well known that the reasoning parts of the brain are not fully developed until the early twenties. That is why the voting age should not be lowered but raised. The argument that if you can join the army you should be able to vote is false. Reasoning is not needed to obey orders and fight, quite the opposite

As stated in a well known hand book for taking over Governments and Countries. Start in the education system. So many so called Americans have paid very large sums to send their children to the so called institutions of higher learning to b e brain washed. Many even knew that this was being done. Instead of being parents they wanted to be their child’s friend. Now America will reap the benefits of their stupid actions.
