A new poll shows that support for socialism among young Americans is at an all-time high. What could be responsible for this fact?

 

Introduction

The future of free markets in the United States is in danger, as support for capitalism among younger generations has fallen to an all-time low. According to a poll conducted by the Cato Institute in 2025, 62% of Americans aged 18 to 29 say they hold a “favorable view” of socialism. Perhaps even more troubling, 34% of young Americans say they hold a “favorable view” of communism.

This is a stark contrast from previous generations. Baby Boomers overwhelmingly hold a positive view of capitalism at 68%. Only 32% of our elder generation holds a positive view of socialism.

Many older Americans are baffled by the fact that so many Gen Zers could favor a system that has failed so horribly in the past. Baby Boomers and Gen X grew up during the Cold War, when socialist and communist ideologies spread across Eastern Europe and Asia. They witnessed, in real time, the authoritarianism, human rights abuses, and economic stagnation stemming from socialist policies that plagued entire countries.

When the Soviet Union fell on December 26, 1991, many thought that would be the end of the support for socialism and that free-market capitalism would dominate the Western Hemisphere for eternity.

However, the rising support for socialism among young Americans, the recent election of democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani in America’s biggest city, and the Democratic Party’s gradual embrace of policies once considered fringe, proved that hopeful sentiment wrong.

So, what happened? Why are the youngest Americans so pessimistic about their economic future and demand an overhaul of our free-market system?

FCC chair threatens ABC and Disney over Jimmy Kimmel’s remarks about Charlie Kirk

FCC chair Brendan Carr threatened to "take ...

The Federal Communications Commission’s Trump-aligned chairman on Wednesday threatened to “take action” against Disney and ABC over Jimmy Kimmel’s recent comments about Charlie Kirk’s suspected killer.

During his Monday evening monologue, Kimmel suggested Kirk’s alleged killer, Tyler Robinson, might have been a pro-Trump Republican. “The MAGA Gang (is) desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel said. “In between the finger-pointing, there was grieving.”

The ABC late-night host’s remarks constituted “the sickest conduct possible,” FCC chair Brendan Carr told right-wing podcaster Benny Johnson on Wednesday. Carr suggested his FCC could move to revoke ABC affiliate licenses as a way to force Disney to punish Kimmel.

“We can do this the easy way or the hard way,” Carr said. “These companies can find ways to change conduct and take actions on Kimmel, or there’s going to be additional work for the FCC ahead.”

Carr added that the broadcasters, including ABC, “have a license granted by us at the FCC, and that comes with it an obligation to operate in the public interest.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Carr attacked Kimmel as “talentless” and suggested the late-night comedian’s comments displayed “some sort of desperate irrelevance.” Disney and ABC did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

This was not the first time Carr has gone after ABC in recent months. In July, the Trump appointee told Fox News that long-running daytime talk show “The View” is “now in the crosshairs of this administration” over co-host Joy Behar’s scathing criticism of President Trump.

Kimmel has also been a frequent target of President Trump’s ire. Shortly after CBS announced the cancellation of Stephen Colbert’s late-night talk show — a move Carr publicly celebrated — Trump suggested that “Next up will be an even less talented Jimmy Kimmel.”

Conclave Viewership Shot Up 283 Percent Following Pope Francis’ Death

Since Monday, viewers have watched nearly 7 million minutes of Conclave, a film about the process of choosing a new pope. The Two Popes saw its numbers go up 417 percent.

In the Roman Catholic Church, it was called the “Francis effect,” a feeling that the arrival of the more inclusive Pope Francis in 2013 would invigorate the faith and get people back in the pews.

On Monday, Francis’ passing at the age of 88 led to an effect of a different kind: a surge in viewership for Conclave, director Edward Berger’s Oscar-winning film about what happens in the Vatican when church leaders are locked in a room—or, well, the Sistine Chapel—to decide who will be the next pope.

Streaming viewership for Conclave increased 283 percent after Pope Francis’ death, jumping from 1.8 million minutes watched on April 20 to 6.9 million minutes watched on Monday, according to data from analytics firm Luminate. Netflix’s The Two Popes, meanwhile, saw a 417 percent increase in viewership over that same period, jumping from 290,000 minutes to 1.5 million minutes.

In some ways, these numbers are to be expected. Conclave’s arrival last year and eight Oscar nominations (it won for Best Adapted Screenplay) had already made it a popular film. The fact that the Vatican is about to start a real-life conclave in just a few days only increases the attention on the film. The Two Popes, meanwhile, is about Pope Francis himself, and the relationship he had with his predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI.

While the numbers are impressive, Luminate has seen similar boosts after other significant news events, according to spokesperson Jimmy Harney. When presidential candidate Donald Trump announced JD Vance as his running mate during the Republican National Convention last year, viewership for Netflix’s Hillbilly Elegy, based on Vance’s memoir, jumped 1,180 percent, according to Luminate. When news came out that Vice President Kamala Harris would likely be the Democrats’ candidate for president, US viewership for HBO’s Veep increased 353 percent.

Theoretically, Conclave’s viewership numbers could climb even higher in the coming days. On Monday, thanks to one of the many cumbersome deals that dictate the modern streaming landscape, viewers needed to rent or buy the movie in order to watch it. It cost between $6 and $20 on Amazon Prime Video. Early Tuesday, the movie became available to stream for Prime members.

Following Pope Francis’ death—an announcement that sent Catholics around the world into mourning—several news outlets (including this one) pointed to Conclave’s timeliness. The film, about a series of high-profile cardinals and their efforts to become the next pontiff, is a highly dramatized, and drama-filled, version of what the secretive conclave process looks like.

Francis’ funeral will be held in front of St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome on Saturday. Cardinals from around the world are headed to Italy to attend. After which, they will take part in the conclave, a name that’s derived from the Latin “with key,” meaning they will be locked in the historic church while they deliberate. No outside contact is permitted during the process; no phones, televisions, newspapers, or messages are allowed. Members of the College of Cardinals, the church’s most senior clergy, under the age of 80 get a vote, so about 135 of the 250-member body will be involved in the choosing.

According to Luminate data, other pope-centric films like Netflix’s Pope Francis biographic series Call Me Francis, haven’t seen the same huge spikes—yet. Maybe viewers just need to get back in the habit of watching Catholic content.

‘Drag Tots!’ and ‘Super Drags’ cartoons wooing kids

Michael Haverluck, OneNewsNow.com


6:40 am June 23, 2018


Adding more controversial programming to its lineup this year, Netflix – along with another network – has announced plans to air a new animated series about cross-dressing drag queens to introduce, desensitize or incite children to the homosexual lifestyle.

The sexual and perverted nature of Netflix’s and the World of Wonder channel’s disturbing cartoons has spurred Christian entertainment and movie critics to send out a warning to parents.

“More than ever, parents need to be on top of what their children may be watching, because the days of innocent Saturday morning cartoons is officially over – honestly, it’s been over for a while,” MovieGuide advised. “Two new shows coming this year are pushing cross-dressing lifestyles on children.”

Shows for the whole family to avoid

The World of Wonder channel is premiering one of the disturbingly perverse cartoon series on June 28, using the world’s most recognized drag queen as a voiceover for one of the characters.

“The first is Drag Tots! – a disturbing cartoon from the production company that makes Rupaul’s drag race about toddler drag queens,” MovieGuide’s Dr. Ted Baehr informed. “The cast voicing the toddlers are famous drag queens, like RuPaul himself.”

Netflix – which has already pushed the controversial envelope with its arguably suicide-glorifying 13 Reasons series and its new series paying the Obamas $50-million – is also getting into promoting alternative lifestyles to kids through its debut of Super Drags this year.

Here is how the streaming network giant is introducing the release of its new kids’ animated TV series:

Is Sunday a Good Day to Send a Marketing Email?

EMAIL MARKETING

November 16, 2016

Ah, Sundays. A day of rest. A perfect day to relax, kick up your feet, watch some football or venture outdoors. Pop on some comfy clothes and let your mind drift away from your hectic week. Sunday is when everyone detaches from their laptops and cell phones. Why would you send a marketing email on Sunday? No one will open it or click on your offer. Or will they?

We analyzed our email metrics from the past year. We came across something interesting. Sunday has actually performed pretty well for open and click rates. It ranks in the top three for open rates and is number one for for click-through rate.

Is this a real phenomenon? Is this something others are experiencing? Was our data biased? Was it consistent with other findings? We decided to do some digging.

It’s Not Just Our Data

We found some interesting data that backs us up. A 2014 study by GetResponse and Dan Zarella found that opens and clicks were highest on Saturdays and Sundays. The data is based on an Experian email study and Dan Zarella’s book The Science of Marketing.

It’s not just a small difference. Saturdays and Sundays outperform other days by a dramatic amount. Something is going on here.

Other Day Says Otherwise, Kinda

A report by MailerMailer shows that we may be off on open rates. The chart below shows that Sunday has a lower than average open rate. But, true to the GetResponse data, Sunday’s click rate outperforms the rest. So, we think we have something here.

So What’s Going On?


Well, it’s safe to say that something’s up with Sunday. Why are people more apt to at click links in an email? There’s no definitive, scientific answer here, but we have some thoughts.


Less Competition

Like all marketers, we like benchmarks. Most of has have been trained to send emails at the optimal day and time of the week. But, this means we’re all sending emails at the same time. This is usually between Monday and Thursday (see the chart below based on a study by Experian). More volume means more competition. More competition means it’s harder to get the attention of your target customer.

9-5 Ain’t What it Used To Be

With technology, working 9-to-5 Monday to Friday is a thing of the past. Traditional work schedules are changing. And so emailing people around a traditional work week structure may be the wrong way to look at things. Sunday, the day when we disconnect from our devices and our work, may be a myth.

It’s Sunday, I Have Time

During the week, people are busy. Yes, they may have time to open your email. But, that’s about it. Who cares about opens. We want action. On a Sunday, your customer may have more time to click and take action.

It’s Sunday, I’m Happier

Your target customer may just be in a better mood on Sunday. It’s probably a good time to send them an email.
The Annoyance Factor

Before launching a Sunday campaign, consider the annoyance factor. Receiving an email on a Sunday may be annoying to part of your audience. Are you bothered by a Sunday email from a colleague? Chances are you’d feel the same way about an email from a brand. Think hard about your audience and message before sending that Sunday email.

Start with a Test

So should you send a Sunday email to your marketing list? Yes, but better to start with a test. For your next campaign, spread your list out over 7 days and see what day works best. But don’t just test opens and clicks. Measure web engagement and conversions. 4 conversions on 10 clicks is much better than 3 conversions on 20.

We wish you good luck with that Sunday email campaign. Remember that sometimes marketing is bobbing when everyone else is weaving. While everyone’s bobbing during the week with their emails, try a weave and send that Sunday email.
