I shared my thoughts on “burrito-gate” about a week before the controversy erupted. If the Right cannot offer a suitable alternative to the empty but effective messaging of the socialist Left, we are going to get our clocks cleaned in upcoming elections. A recent Harvard Youth poll found support for capitalism at 39% and for socialism at 21%. Young voters are rejecting the labels and backing whoever they think will take bold action on the real affordability crisis they face—not gaslight them that their financial struggles don’t exist. Obviously, electing socialists makes affordability infinitely worse, but with a public education system that teaches socialism and communism can work, it should come as no surprise that young Americans are not appalled by these ideas. Not to mention the fact that even when the Right has held majorities in Congress, the spending cuts we know are necessary to lower the cost of living do not happen. We’ve lived under quasi-socialism in federal spending for decades—backed by both parties—while calling it capitalism. Now that this system is failing, as socialism always does, and Republican majorities have not delivered meaningful reform, socialists are exploiting the opportunity to present their “alternative.” Bold, audacious agendas to tackle inflation and housing affordability will win the day, regardless of what label the politician wears. The challenge for the Right is that we hold power NOW. Heritage has repeatedly offered a menu of bold policies to Congress throughout the last year and a half, but thanks to a handful of liberals with an R next to their name who wield outsized power in such thin majorities, few have come to fruition. We’re running out of time to make a strong enough case for why Americans should continue to trust conservative majorities in Congress.
