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.
