This nation is going to have to feel some real pain for people to appreciate what we have.
Millennials Don’t Think America Was Ever That Great
The premise is all wrong.
The millenials queried don’t think at all.
If many of them do feel that way, it’s mainly because this is what they are taught in schools, even pre-schools.
The indoctrination is reinforced with passing grades and ‘happy’ or approving teachers. Not all of them, thank God, but most of the teachers are this way.
These ‘kids’ are products of the liberal education complex... snowflakes who can’t read... or think.
Poor education has done its intent, brainwashing not only on kids but adults as well. Thank our government and media for this disaster.
“America has been great…for straight white men.”

Stupid is strong with this one...
People have been taught to be ashamed of being American, or white, or even “culturally Christian” (not actually being Christian, but having a society heavily influenced by Christianity) the poison pill Left.
If you are older than millennials, it’s likely/probable/possible that you think you are out of it, obsolete, passe, over the hill.
The only answer to this is to bludgeon these folks with your business and prosperity. Yeah, it’s hard. The market is waaaaay up and it seems like it should pull back.
I was not there. But I absolutely know that during the massive runup during the Reagan years, the market was loaded with doubters all the way up. That’s been the case for at least 5 years now. Yeah, the market is high and the media is full of stories that we MUST pull back at some point. There is every possibility that we are in the early innings of a dramatic multiyear runup in the economy. And one has to decide whether you wish to be in it or out of it. You do not have to leverage yourself tits-deep. But you’re massively better off being in it rather than out of it.
No one is forcing them to live here. Venezuela has a few openings.
Yes, that is the experience I have had. 80% of them agree with that Cuomo numbskull.
This was drilled into them by their teachers and professors, who are all devotees of Howard Zinn. Today their smart phone sends them daily reinforcement.
“A great country would pay off my student loans”. Heard it all before.
Key phrase:
“...the majority of the people I spoke with...”
Get off the New York leftist college campuses, Moran, and you’ll find other opinions. New York City does not represent America.
First of all, since when do I trust interviews of New York Millenials as the basis to make such a wide-sweeping statement about young people? I thought New York was a liberal cesspool (it's not...many good Deplorables live there but they are a vast minority) but as long as it fits the narrative that young people are dumb, why not?
Second, the general trend is for people to become more conservative as they age (recall Churchill's comment). Millenials don't stay young forever....youngsters voting for Obama in 2008 now have jobs, families, and bills. And youngsters entering college during the MAGA era, just like us Reagan kids, are likely to NOT be as easily hoodwinked had Hillary won. Try getting out of New York.
If people actually speak to Millenials, they'll find there are MANY that aren't pod-eating Antifa-loving dolts. Many of them, among other things, don't WANT want other people's stuff. To be sure, they are probably more libertarian than your average Deplorable and, for example, may bring a few gay friends who won't hit on you, or sober pot legalization fans, out to the range with them.
If people can get around those elements then you can see real hope in the youth of America. True, some men, you can't reach but the kids are getting smarter. So let some lazy reporter print this twaddle... The Dems will misread the news and keep putting up loser candidates that repel Americans. Trump is thus guaranteed to destroy whoever they put up in 2020 AND we'll have a Red Wave this November.
I respect Campus Reform and I like to rag on Millennials as much as the next Gen-Xer, but I don’t think a “man on the street” survey at a college campus gives you a fair sample on which to base such a generalization. We have nearly 2 million Millennial veterans and thousands have died for our country, and I’m not convinced this crap is any more widespread among young Millennials than it was among Xers and Boomers when they were the same age.
From kindergarten through college, millennials have had it drummed into their heads that America is the result of stolen bodies working stolen land, so no wonder they don’t believe this country was ever great.
The Europeans of the 50s and 60s sure did.
Not my grandchildren, whose parents have exposed them to the ideas of liberty understood by America’s men and women of the 17th, 18th and 19th Century—ideas which have made possible the freedoms those children’s professors and university leaders are abusing and misinterpreting today!
Well, of course. They’ve been brainwashed with an extremely distorted, one-sided version of American history put out by the Cultural Marxists since they were pre-schoolers. It’s takes a very independent thinker to resist the programming.
