the commenter didn’t come up with that, it’s what a lot of these kids call themselves. The younger right isn’t Billy Graham’s religious alliance, they’re a bunch of atheistic, alt-right, intentionally edgy weaponized 4chans who happen to be politically conservative (not all of them, of course, but a large and noticeable chunk). Took the most offensive play on Gen-Z they could come up with and ran with, just to get a rise out of people.

An old saying attributed to Churchill among others.....

Anyone who is not a liberal to are 20 has no heart.
Any who is not a conservative at 30 has no brains

(This is paraphrased of course)

Don’t worry; King Kuomo is getting 16 and 17 year olds to PRE register to vote; meanwhile in NY, “child” support goes to age 21 and beyond. Hmmmm.

Why don’t you petition for custody?

My first election participation (1980) was were I was a “rebel” and wouldn’t vote for Reagan. I voted for the independent John Anderson instead.

How different I am today after growing up.

I call it the fruit of urbanization more than anything else.

I know I'll sound like a cranky old man when I say this, but I don't think I've ever come across a generation of people less prepared to deal with even a minimal bit of adversity than the young people I meet today.

A few months ago I came across the scene of a car crash on a highway near my office. I stopped to lend assistance. At first I thought it was a hit-and-run incident because there was only one car, but then I realized there was only one car involved in the crash. The driver -- a young man who looked like he was in his early -- was OK, and was outside the car. It was a dry road, a clear day, and no heavy traffic on the road. The kid couldn't even explain what happened. I thought he was just confused because of the circumstances, but then I realized he was just too embarrassed to admit that he had simply lost control of the car under normal driving conditions.

I offered whatever help I could, but he said he'd be fine and that he'd call his father to come help him.

Good lord. I'll bet he was driving a car Daddy bought for him, too.

I didn’t become a conservative until I was 32. I’m at the tail end of Generation X.

That’s not my term for that group. It apparently grew out of Reddit, and was the Lefty term for the mass of conservative (i.e. Nazi hater rreeeeee!) kids in the generation.

HA! This is NYS Where mommykins rules supreme. See http://www.realworlddivorce.com/NewYork

She already has ruined the two older kids. We were told by the school board that dad’s opinion doesn’t count when mom went to get all the kids labeled as “learning disabled-other” to cover for her shoddy non-parenting. She befriends them and they will never launch.
Stepdaughter, 20 is not going to school nor is she employed. Yet “child” support still keeps on a-rollin’

Also they have been brainwashed beyond repair; even if by some miracle and $20,000 in legal fees just to establish basic father’s rights, the kids would run back to the house with no rules—happens time and time again. They all are chronically truant with an IEP, ADHD, “depression” and were able to “pass” their classes ten points below failing.

It will be ten years since dad has seen the 16 year old; 11 years since he’s seen the 22 and 20 year old who have been parentally alienated and have announced they want nothing to do with dad or rules. the 22 year old works part time on a relative’s smoothie truck and is a pot fiend.

P.S. The revision of the Title IV of the Social Security Act (Thanks Clintoons) gives State “Child” Support Collection agencies federal kickbacks for most amount of “child” support collected.

The system has NO incentive to give dad custody. Rubber stamp custody to mommy, then take his wallet via “child” support and redistribute the money to her; win/win for the liberal gov’t and the divorce/family court industry.

Then they wonder why there are so many young male school shooters.

Hell we had an insane muslim mother get custody after many trips to the mental health hospitals and she ended up beheading her 7 yr old son. It’s almost impossible for dad to get custody due to the Title IV rule.

It’s different times man:

In 2009, 53% of millennials said that “Government should do more to solve problems” (http://www.pewresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2010/10/millennials-confident-connected-open-to-change.pdf)

In 2018, 64% of millennials, who are in their late 20s and 30s, said that “Government should do more to solve problems.” 70% of Gen Zs think that “Government should do more to solve problems”

It’s only intensifying. This is not your typical 1980s where people got conservative as they became older. People who are in their 30s nowadays are more lefty than they were 10 years ago.
