Renowned for binge drinking, illegal drug use, violence, body piercings and celebrity worship, Generation Next is better than the preceding generation because it is more tolerant and optimistic and more likely to vote Democratic, according to new research.
Before swallowing this pap, consider:
These findings do not arise from rigorous, peer-reviewed scientific inquiry, but a poll of 579 people 18 to 25. Polls are highly suspect because they can be manipulated by sponsors to produce desired outcomes. The sponsors here were the liberal Pew Research Center and MacNeil/Lehrer Productions, renowned for its ultra-left-wing news programs and documentaries.
The conclusions conform to the liberal news media's world view and wishful thinking, and thus got reported widely and sympathetically. Such treatment, however, is not afforded reports by right-wing groups that speak favorably of young Republicans.
Social scientists love canonizing liberals and Democrats and denigrating conservatives and Republicans. In 2003, a meta-analysis by four liberal psychologists of 88 political-orientation studies conducted by liberal researchers concluded liberals are enlightened, optimistic, tolerant, creative, articulate and cultured while conservatives basically are knuckle-dragging rednecks. Those sweeping generalities are manifestly false, yet the most recent Psychology Today magazine vigorously defended them as "quintessentially empirical and difficult to dismiss as false."
Young adults like winners. The Democratic win in the mid-term elections makes it cool for them to support Democrats right now, just as it was cool for young adults coming of age in the 1980s to be Republicans during the Reagan years. Generally, young adults by nature also tend to be more liberal, but move to the right as they age. Observing the phenomenon, Winston Churchill remarked: "Any man who is under 30 and is not a liberal has no heart; and any man who is over 30 and is not a conservative has no brains." So though young adults may be leaning toward the Democrats today, chances are most will come to their senses in due time.
Ping to a Republican-American Editorial.

Wow, a rock-solid, bulletproof argument if ever there was one!
generation next is under 20 right? well then ofcourse they are tilting left, they will usually grow out of it by 25 some never tho.
I thought they were about 15-30 year olds? Am I wrong?
AKA
LOSERS!
They said the same thing about a bunch of hippie flower children, the ones that swept Regan to power twenty years later.
and the ones that don't find some reasons to stay in school for as long as possible, be it multiple degrees, masters, etc. and usually become professors...
My personal (professional) experience is that a typical young adult in Generation Next is dumber than a bag of rocks.
This generation has been exposed to more left-wing indoctronation in school and more liberal entertainment propganda than any America genreation ever. We are losing the war for our children and it is only a matter of time.
About 35%
Little wonder with Americas academic institutions TOTALLY ultra leftist..
They are graduating semester after semester of proto leftists.. for many decades now..
Must be WHY there is ZERO organized right wing in America these days.. ZERO..
Even MOST conservatives are socialists..
(SSA) Social Security is PURE socialism.. not LIKE socialism but PURE socialism..
Very very few conservatives are FOR getting rid of social security..
Obviously, the solution is to abort more Dems and create more homo Dems.
Who is more likely to go to the polling booth: someone who has just come home from fighting for their country, or someone that just finished an all-night session of Halo while under the influence of some herb and messing around with a ring-nosed trollop?
Well, the generation after "gen next" is coming up very conservative. the tweens and early teens of today i guess will have mop up after the nexters! but atleast there is hope:)
Academia is lib from kindergarten thru graduate school, Hollywood is lib and nightly news is lib. It's no wonder these kids will vote left. Wait till they get a little older and make real money only to have gov't steal it from them. Then maybe they'll veer back to the right.
