At some point, they will start believing their own lies.

In the past, I talked to a bunch of millenials of AOC. They cannot envision a country where people drove to a factory (may be on a shift) made things, rose in the ranks, where able to buy a car and a house, have a stay at home wife, and retired in their 50's and all without a college degree in esoteric liberal arts. They cannot envision a country that had near full employment. A country where you could move from Michigan to California and get a job and a house and not have 3 or 4 room mates.
