Brandon Gill: If Dems Spend All Their Time Bashing Capitalism, They Should Expect Younger Dems to Become Socialists

TRANSCRIPT:

GILL: "I think that’s right, and I think that they realize the direction that their party is going. I think your average rank-and-file Democrat in the House right now recognizes that the Democratic Socialists are no longer the fringe in their party. That’s the mainstream. That’s where their base is. And they are not going to speak out against that because they don’t want the backlash from their base. But, you know, it’s really rich whenever you have these relative moderates — many of these are still far-left Democrats, but relative moderates complaining about the direction that their matter is going. This is the direction they put their party on. This is the trajectory they put their party on. If you’re going to spend all of your time bashing capitalism, you should expect the younger Democrats who listen to that to become socialists. If you’re going to spend all of your time bashing the police, like the Democrats have done, expect younger Democrats to support defunding the police. If you’re going to spend all your time bashing America as a white supremacist country, you should expect younger Democrats to hate that country and want to abolish its institutions like the Senate. So what we’re seeing is the Democrats reaping what they have been sowing for so long."
