The Rise of Ultra-Conservative Youth

The podcast discusses the emergence of a significant ultra-conservative youth movement in the United States, countering the common perception that conservatism is predominantly an older demographic's ideology. Kyle Spencer, the featured guest, highlights her research showing that many young people are increasingly drawn to right-wing ideologies, specifically groups like Turning Point USA. This trend challenges the assumption that all young people lean left, particularly in areas more aligned with conservative values. She argues that this movement is well-funded and organized, providing young recruits with engaging platforms that appeal to their desire for community and fun.
