My 21 year old son cast his first presidential vote for Trump. He is not a totally conservative guy as most people that age are still figuring out their bearings. This momma tried her best and I think I did well. I always encouraged him to think for himself, with my, ahem, influence.
He’s a huge Kanye West music fan. I think this is a win/win all the way around. Encouraging non-plantation thought is a good thing.
That old saw about “If you’re not a liberal at 18, you don’t have a heart, if you’re not a conservative at 40, you don’t have a brain” is largely true. I try to give young people a bit of a break.
However, when they enter the world of activism (the preferred source by the Left for new activists because young people are easily swayed) they lose that forbearance from me.
But I agree, it is a win-win.
