Poll Finds 42% of Young Liberals Say Kirk’s Views ‘Brought Violence Upon Himself’
“Compared to YAF’s previous survey conducted in January, young conservatives are now less likely to feel comfortable expressing their views”
Liberals would never say this about a victim on the left, and everyone knows it.
The College Fix reports:
42% of young liberals say Kirk’s views ‘brought violence upon himself to an extent’: poll
Conservative Charlie Kirk’s viewpoints mean he brought violence upon himself to an extent, according to 42 percent of young liberal voters polled in a newly released survey.
Young America’s Foundation released the results of its fall survey on Tuesday, which questioned 1,021 registered voters aged 18 to 29 nationwide.
“Surveyed shortly after the assassination of Charlie Kirk this fall, 70 percent of young voters say that there is absolutely no justification for murdering someone over their viewpoints,” YAF reported. “When broken out along ideological lines, an alarming 42 percent of young liberal voters, however, say that Kirk’s viewpoints mean he brought violence upon himself to an extent.”
Kirk’s murder may have had a small chilling effect on conservative speech on campus as well.
“Compared to YAF’s previous survey conducted in January, young conservatives are now less likely to feel comfortable expressing their views, sliding from 65 percent who were comfortable at the start of the year to just 51 percent this fall,” YAF reported.
The poll also asked about economics and the worth of a college degree.
About half, 51 percent, said they believe “there is not much opportunity in America today and the average person doesn’t have much chance to really get ahead.”
But dig into those numbers, and a somewhat surprising picture emerges: “Among young white voters, just 21 percent think they have more opportunities than their parents, compared with 41 percent of young black voters and 47 percent of young Hispanic voters.”

Gee, I wonder what those young liberal bigots are bringing upon themselves because of their views?
“Liberals would never say this about a victim on the left, and everyone knows it.”
But now, under new Democrat Rules, we can.
“young liberals” are those who blindly follow because they have no concept of critical thinking. With 51% of them believing that there is not much opportunity in America make me ask how many of those 51% have a liberal Arts major or are in a field that there is almost zero chance of landing a job in their major with a Bachelor’s? My guess is almost everybody in that 51%.
Back up 17 years ago. My daughter and her roommate both were Biology majors that graduated with honors. Neither could find a job in their field. The daughter went on to graduate school get a MS in Biology with an emphasis in Genetics (she was a PA to pay for it). A quick try as a college professor got her to apply at a bio tech lab. Fourteen years and 3 pharma jobs latter she is now Sr. QA Manager in production. Her roommate bounced from one minimum wage job after another until she hit Best Buy. After 12 years at BB she has made it into lower management, She lives at home with her parents, as she does not make enough to keep her 10 year old Kia running and afford an apartment. I am friends with her father and he has lost all faith in her.
