A far cry from the conservatives of my time, hence the "alt" label. As the article mentions, how much discussion of a balanced budget is there in any of these videos? Do you think someone like former Senator McCain or Romney would be watching these? It's all about race and sex and identity issues.

Well, modern progressives are a far cry from the leftists of my time too. In fact most of them would sound like lunatics back in the 70s and 80s.

Here in Sweden we had the national election last year.

I saw exactly zero news articles which covered the budget. Not a single one. Almost every single topic that bubbled up on national news, in debates, and on social media involved identity politics. Immigration, gender, religion, and then some climate on the side. The only political party in Sweden that still talk a bit about taxes is the one furthest on the left, and that mostly because capital tax has been their consistent talking point for about as long as the party has existed.

Budget and tax policy can easily be changed, but demographic changes from immigration are irreversible, so it is understandable they draw more attention.

That would merely be response to the current leftist narrative.

Doesn’t that sound like just the debate/discussion you just asked for, in the very same post? Make up your mind.
