Color me skeptic. I think they’re stupid.
Further, the St Louis FRB's FRED database shows the current unemployment rate for 20-24 year olds is the lowest it has been since before the 2001 recession and right around 1970. Yes, the current 20-24 yr old UMP is higher than that in the later 1960s and most of the 1950s. But if they are stupid, at least the current crop of 20-24 year olds sure seem to be relatively better employed than at most recent time periods.
I've said this before and I'll keep saying it. I fail to see why everyone loves to bash Millenials. Sure, they have their fair share of pod-eating Antifa-loving snowflakes who were all-in on Bernie and Hillary. However, every generation is dumped on by the elders, but in general they get more conservative as they age and turn out to be fine, upstanding citizens.
Most of the Millenials I know are either Deplorable or Centrist. Lately, they've become more horrified by their snowflake-bretheren, and are generally responding by doubling down on conservatism. Some 'kids' who may have chafed at Trump in 2016 are now thinking that jumping on the MAGA train isn't such a bad idea, as the article suggests.
Given that Trump won by 76k votes, we need all the help we can get. I would encourage all people who reflexively bash Millenials to consider maybe inviting one or two of them that you know out to the range or something to loop them in to Camp Deplorable.
If we don't, we run the risk of President Kamala Harris outlawing ammo while some of us middle age people wonder why the young ones didn't respond 'appropriately' to being ridiculed.
Speaking as a millennial, I share your skepticism.
A lot of them are. Then again some are so far-right they’d be banned on FR.
Political centrism is dying out.
You are not a skeptic - They are stupid. At least fatally ignorant
