The Patriot Post® · In Brief: If You Don't Talk to Your Kids About Politics...
“Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it,” says the book of Proverbs. Writer Victoria Marshall agrees, and she points to social media influencers and celebrities as reason enough to teach your own children rather than leave it to others.
A whopping 67 percent of U.S. teens use TikTok. Sixty-two percent are on Instagram. And 95 percent use YouTube, according to a recent study by Pew Research Center. While the effects of constant social media usage are alarming, equally as concerning is the messaging young people internalize on such platforms, priming them to be future voters of the Democratic Party.
While Twitter user Libs Of TikTok has shed light on the pervasive ideologies, such as critical theory, that indoctrinate young people on the Chinese Communist Party-influenced app, not much attention has been paid to Instagram — Mecca of the influencer class — and the celebrities pushing Democratic Party propaganda on adoring, unsuspecting fans.
Case-in-point: Hailey Bieber.
The supermodel and wife to pop musician Justin Bieber last week took advantage of Martin Luther King Jr. Day to peddle dangerous election misinformation on her skincare brand’s Instagram account…
Bieber opined that it’s important to “celebrate and honor” MLK by “continuing to take action” on things like the “erosion of our voting rights.” She hawks the Democrats’ so-called Voting Rights Act, which in reality is a bill to make election fraud and chaos permanent. All the while, she makes false claims about “racial discrimination in voting.” Marshall expounds on voting and elections before explaining:
That Bieber via Rhode skin is collaborating with such obviously partisan organizations shows how skilled the Democratic Party is at recruiting celebrities and trendy brands to peddle their propaganda to young people. During the 2020 presidential election, Taylor Swift, world-renowned pop star and darling of Gen Z and millennial women, openly campaigned for Joe Biden. During the Democratic National Convention that same year, the party brought out stars Billie Eilish, Maggie Rogers, and Common to literally sing Biden’s praises and influence young people.
Using celebrities and their huge influence over youths via social media is just one piece of the Democrat Party’s plan to control the flow of information emanating from Hollywood, pop culture, and the media and to shape the electorate.
This propaganda is paying dividends, as young people vote for Democrats quite heavily. Obviously, Marshall concludes, “Democrats are sure to stick with this strategy of dominating social media with their cultural and political propaganda through their most loyal influencers and celebrities.”
My advice to parents: Make sure you talk to your kids about politics before their favorite celebrities or social media influencers do.
