City Journal Focus Group of Gen Z Trump Backers Features Hitler Praise and Antisemitic Rhetoric

Critics say City Journal’s publication of the session points to the Manhattan Institute’s rightward turn toward Trump.

Overview

  • City Journal, a Manhattan Institute publication, released findings from a focus group of Gen Z conservatives supportive of President Trump.
  • Participants praised Adolf Hitler’s leadership and advocated a stronger, more nationalist executive, with one urging the country be taken “back for our native population.”
  • Antisemitic remarks were recorded, including a participant declaring Jewish people to be “a force for evil.”
  • The Bulwark amplified the excerpts and argued the Manhattan Institute has moved from anti-anti-Trump to pro-Trump in its posture.
  • Not all voices aligned with the praise, as one participant condemned Hitler’s atrocities and expressed revulsion.
