Younger women are drifting to the left, according to Gallup. Two decades ago, three in ten self-identified as liberal. Now it's four in ten. But those numbers are a bit deceiving, as the definition of liberal has careened off a cliff in the last two decades.
In the 2000's liberal women thought abortion should be safe, legal and rare. Now they're shouting their abortion. Twenty years ago, even liberal women didn't think they could actually become men if they chopped off some body parts.
Young women are already a constituency that has leaned Democratic, but they’ve been inconsistent in voter turnout, The Associated Press reports.
That could change. In Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Kamala Harris last week the pop star praised Harris and running mate Tim Walz for promoting reproductive rights, The AP reported.
Alex McFarland of Truth for a New Generation says it's criminal what feminism has done.
“The sad thing, and it's tragic on an immeasurable scale, are the lies that the secular feminist movement have told American women.”
He says many younger women are being led to the left by liberal role models.
“It’s sad enough that people would look to Taylor Swift for their musical tastes. Sadder still that they would look to her for political direction.”
It could get better
But McFarland says there is good news. The even younger women, today’s teens and early 20s, could swing the pendulum in the other direction.
“I believe younger women are much more conservative than their, perhaps, 25- to 50-year-old counterparts,” he said.
McFarland says they've seen the carnage that a liberal world view has done to their older sisters and want none of it.
“There's only so much materialism can do for people. We were made for God and family and all the ideology in the world is not going to change that.”
