100% of that 20% are liberal nutbags who believe there are more than two genders and Joe Biden got 81 million votes

This seems to have been the case for a while now.

I went to college back in the 90s and a poll came out that said 22% of young Americans believed the Holocaust was a myth. I remember it specifically because it made headlines and we discussed it in class.

Why do you think that is? Just young people being ignorant?

Not surprising at all. Leftist policies have dumbed down the population for over half a century now. This is the fruit of the seeds that have been planted by Democrats.

The same reason your people have been protesting Israel on every US college campus for the last two months.

I honestly don’t know.

I do know there is tremendous ignorance of history among young Americans, so that plays a role. And maybe the Holocaust was so bad that some people have a hard time believing it could be real.

The left has been doing all they can to revise history to fit their Marxist agenda.

Teachers / Professors are grooming leftist goose-steppers.

Quite frankly, based on what we are seeing on college campuses, Im surprised it’s only 1 in 5.

Why?
Were you not surprised like me at the amount of anti Israeli protest on campus across the country?

It is pretty unbelievable (in the hyperbolic sense) that one person could spark such a powerful and destructive mass movement.

Just over embellished.. like the "mUh 40 BeHeaDed BabIeS" on steroids..

It would also help if there weren't such outrageous claims from "survivors" like the claim that Germans made sausage and bologna out of the dead bodies.

Or the brain bashing machines

Or the book by Bernard Holstein that claimed of nazi masturbation machines. He was later proven a phony, and even got a fake concentration camp tattoo!! (Fun fact: the IDF has openly acknowledged Sperm retrieval from dead soldiers... kinda makes you wonder...)

Even the gas chambers claim has significant concerning points.

I don't deny it completely but I'm also sure that the extent of it is wayyyy overblown with decades of ridiculous intel agency propaganda. It's like a game of telephone, the longer time goes on, the crazier the claims get...

I'd wager that more than one in five young Americans can't even tell you what the Holocaust is.

One and 5 young Americans don’t even know why they hate Jews. They are just told hate them and they listen and obey

That has nothing to do with this discussion

This push to try to lump the state of Israel into Jewishness generally has the rhetorical weight of "my body, my choice" (aka, none).
