Burn It Down What the Polls Say Young Americans Really Want

The data-backed map to America’s next political era.

Most people think they know what time it is in America—a return to Constitutional conservative principles. Wrong. The clock is about to run out—and the people still arguing over yesterday’s headlines are going to get blindsided.

Big Data Poll has exclusive data from decades of trend-tracking and uncomfortable question-asking, and it all points in the same direction: We’ve hit a civilizational shake-up. Young people believe that institutions are hollow and systems are rigged. The old order feeds itself first and calls it governance while citizens get shafted. The youth have noticed, and they can’t take it anymore.

Imminent systemic collapse feels unprecedented only if you’ve never studied history. There’s a pattern for eras like this—a template. Once you recognize it, you can’t unsee what comes next.

Meanwhile, naïve commentators repeat the claim that Generation Z—the “zoomers”—are simply “more conservative” than previous cohorts. All polling disagrees. Most Americans have no clue how radical, reactionary, and revolutionary this next generation already is. A wave of disaffected and disillusioned are rising into prominence and power, and they don’t want to reform the system; they want to burn it down. What are we going to do about it?

Rich Baris, director of Big Data Poll, and New York Times bestselling author Joshua Lisec forewarn us of widespread civil revolt, Constitutional crisis, and—as trendlines predict—either Neo-Bolshevism or the rise of an American Empire. Read this book to understand how America decides.
