Wait until they’re in their 30s and realize all the money they owe to government retirees. That should be fun.
I’m betting the millenials win that one.
The government money is going to run out while the millennialist (M.s) are in the middle of paying back the $20 trillion debt the GOP lets Obama run up.
The M.s are going to be In the middle of paying this back and their college loans their parents let them get into wont be halfway paid up.
They’ll continue to have a double digit unemployment rate
They’ll be still paying 25% of every paycheck to the SS for people who put them in this mess- that they’ll never see the end of
The peers ‘of color’ will have had a break with tuition, college entry, scholarships and job placement so some of them will have had enough of being told how racist they are, but some won’t be so sick of the arrangement
They’ve already shown signs in polls of having had enough of BO, whom they saw in their honest years (ms through HS) as being a complete bossy buffoon
They don’t like abortion a whole lottery that the baby boomers who didnt like it
And their literature and films are now dystopian tales of virtue, in particular, courage
They’re starting to reject college and the self respecting ones are horrified by the idea of living at home they see their older peers getting vortexes into
According to the poll read yesterday they don’t care about the environment
And they will have had their medical care taken away, forced, so far, to be the ones to pay for the older generation, who killed off their peers, burdening the M.s with their care and their bills, never having thought they’d ever get old, dumping these kids into daycare, not investing in relationships with them, not equipping them with self reliance, only a lot of hate white america that’s just not doing a whole lot for them
I guess some takers will be left but really that money’s got to run out and the printing farce has to stop before it becomes a security liability
Maybe there’ll be some liberals but they thrive on other people’s money and it’ll be gone
It's a mistaken belief, of course. Conservatives know that government at all levels has been increasing its power. The people (millennials included) have seen their individual power decrease over time. People born into such a situation don't know anything else.
they are a bunch of lost souls. pray for every last one of them. they have been preached a soulless religion of me me me and global warming crap and their parents were not there or didn’t care to correct the brainwashing. They are not a generation of readers, ponderers, figure it out, solve it. they want to be told what to do by someone on tv.
The women sure seem to be.
I think the term is shallow, no faith, no history, no nation, no great ideals of romance and the mystery of the fairer sex, no great art, no great music, no concept of “civilization” and the thousands years struggle to build it, no nothing.
I don’t think they will notice the loss much, they don’t know what they are losing now, and they won’t be much more thoughtful 30 years from now.
What’s the saying? If you’re 20 and not a libtard you have no heart, if you’re 40 and not a Conservative you have no brain.
Reliably brainwashed
The construction of a white, male underclass is well underway.
I just read on Twitter from someone that the 18-year-olds went for Romney. If you just take the 18s as a separate group. Encouraging, no?
My children are Millennials and they are great young adults. None of them voted for Obama and none of them have any college debt. Two of them have graduated from college and are full time employed. One of them is still in college, in ROTC, and will become an officer in the military. So, there are plenty of good Millennials out there. It just depends on how they were raised. There were many loser Baby Boomers and Gen Xers too. Our country has a lot of problems, no doubt. Many elements of popular culture are toxic to good social order and the concept of liberty. This toxic culture does not make the job of being a parent any easier. None-the-less, parent still have a job to do and many aren’t doing it. If there is any deficiency in this generation, then the fault resides with the parents who failed to do their jobs. Much of this failure can blamed on divorce and the plain selfishness of people who produce a child and then don’t stay together to raise that child. Sure, we can blame government, the terrible public schools, Hollywood, or just the general decay of a declining, decadent society, but in the end, the parents will make the difference.
Race.
Young people tend to vote slightly to the Left of their parents.
White Millennial voters gave a solid majority to Mitt Romney in 2012.
Even white females, 18-30 years old, voted 49%-48% for Romney.
The political damage is being done by non-white Millennial voters.
They make up about 45% of the voters in that age group, and they vote 80% for the Democrat Party.
Until we figure out how to convert them to Conservatives, our country will continue to move to the Left.
Because the Baby Boomer and older conservatives are cowards and allow the left to hold the moral high ground. Who is going to warm up to cowards?
The stage is being set for a future “Idiocracy”.
They will their majority to the democrats, and spread the remaining 49% across the libertarian and republican brands. The REPUBLICAN Party is over, me thinks, due to their betrayal and wishy washy record when the real voting counted on major issues. The power sharing between the politicians from both major party’s does not reflect what the voters sent them to Washington to accomplish. Obama ran on an outsider platform. The libertarian platform is essentially an outsider platform and may well resonate into a solid bloc of the conservative platform that will include a small Republican party.
Millennians are more pro-life BECAUSE they're the first full generation to be survivors of the abortion culture. THEY LIVED.
That all said, I'm noticing a difference with those who are 18-24 now compared to those who were 18-24 in 2008. Those 18 then saw Bush as the f'up. Those today wonder what the big deal was with Obama and see him as an f'up.
There's a ways to go, but it's not all bad news.
If you're 18 you're probably not "reliably" much of anything. They were young. They got caught up in the Obama thing. They knew gay people and tried not to get on their bad side. That's a long way from being Leninists or Maoists.
