The chickens are coming home to roost for establishment conservatives who spent decades ignoring the systematic discrimination against white Americans while every other demographic group successfully organized for political power.

BlazeTV host Auron MacIntyre is sounding the alarm that shouldn't surprise anyone paying attention: young white Americans are finally embracing identity politics after watching themselves get pushed to the back of the line in college admissions, job hiring, and government programs.

"For decades, whites have watched every other group in America successfully demand political action as a block from both the left and the right," MacIntyre explained. "Democrats build their entire coalition around racial identity politics, while Republicans pander to every minority group except the one that built this country."

The Inevitable Backlash

This development was as predictable as sunrise. When you tell an entire generation of young Americans they're responsible for slavery they never participated in, exclude them from scholarships because of their skin color, and celebrate their demographic decline as "progress," what did these so-called conservative leaders think would happen?

"You can't implement systemic anti-white policies for decades and then act shocked when white people start thinking collectively about their interests," one young conservative activist told us.

The Trump-Vance administration's focus on ending woke DEI programs is a step in the right direction, but the damage from years of institutional discrimination runs deep. An entire generation of young white Americans grew up being told they were privileged while watching affirmative action programs exclude them from opportunities their grandparents helped build.

Conservative Chickens Coming Home

The real tragedy? Conservative Inc. could have prevented this by actually fighting for ALL Americans instead of playing the left's rigged identity politics game. Instead, they spent years virtue signaling about "colorblind conservatism" while their own voters got systematically discriminated against.

Now these same establishment conservatives are clutching their pearls about "white identity politics" — as if they didn't create this mess by refusing to defend their own base for decades.

The question isn't whether young white Americans should think about their collective interests — it's whether conservatives will finally wake up and represent the people who actually vote for them, or continue surrendering to leftist narratives that divide Americans by race.

About time they woke up! The left played identity politics for decades and now they're shocked when everyone else decides to play by the same rules.

Exactly - they made the rules, now they don't like when it applies to everyone.

I've been watching this shift happen in real time as an educator. These kids grew up being told they have 'privilege' while watching their families struggle economically and seeing opportunities go to others based on race. What did we expect would happen?

Finally! My college-aged son has been telling me about this for months - how he and his friends feel like they're constantly being blamed for everything just because of their skin color. It's about time young white Americans started standing up for themselves instead of just accepting the guilt trip.

Same thing happening with my nephew at his university. The double standards are insane.
