New paper in The Journal of Democracy suggests a growing opposition among young, and particularly wealthy Americans to liberal institution and key tenets. Particularly when compared to their parents. This is the first time where opposition to liberalism has disproportionately been expressed by the wealthy when compared to the poor. The collapse of the elite is a phenomenon well-documented elsewhere.
Growing support for more authoritarian decision-making processes, and slackening support for civil rights are among the key highlights.
Interesting correlation to the fact that this is the least Christian generation in Western history, and perhaps, adding some questions as to whether or not liberal humanism can stand on its own merits. Everyone here knows that I obviously do not believe it can.
Regardless, these are incredibly disturbing findings, and certainly explain a lot of the trends emerging over the last decade or so. Take it for what it is worth as this is just one data set.
