How can this be? Didn’t I just read that Millennials favor the Democrats by a huge margin? Those white working class ones are spoiling everything.

I’m surrounded by white, working class millenials, and none of them vote Dem. At least not that I’m aware of.

My millennial kids keep me abreast of the local trends, and they tell me that among their peers, it’s considered ‘dumbass’ to vote Dem.

Now, I’m in North Texas, so trends might be different in your neck of the woods.

all Millennials should wake up - especially as the liberals’ gloBULL “warming” mob plan to rob their parents’ and grandparents’ retirement funds to finance their $100 trillion-dollar-plus scam, which would mean no inheritance money for the millennials

it’s not like they’ve been hiding it!

2015: Guardian: Nearly half of top pension funds gambling on climate change
by Karl Mathiesen
UN climate chief Christiana Figueres said the index was an invaluable tool for encouraging pension fund to finance the shift toward a low carbon economy.
“Pensions funds and the multi-trillion dollar assets they manage have a pivotal role to play in this transformation.”...

AODP and other experts believe that funds that do nothing to assess their climate risk may be breaching their responsibilities to their members. AODP and environmental law campaigners Client Earth launched a project last week that will assess whether UK pension funds are breaking the law...

Dec 2017: World Economic Forum: Why your pension fund may be causing climate change
by Sébastien Godinot, Economist, WWF European Policy Office
What this means is that your pension money could be invested in, say, a coal plant - a highly polluting energy source and a slowing industry - and you would never know it.
At WWF, we believe that asset owners have a crucial contribution to make towards the Paris Agreement’s climate targets - keeping global temperature rise to well under 2°C and aiming for 1.5°C.

After all, while climate change is primarily a terrible threat to our existence, it is also a major financial risk; $7.2 trillion could be lost in value from financial portfolios globally by 2100 if no further action is undertaken on climate change.
At WWF, we want asset owners to invest in renewable energy and the green economy rather than in sectors which cause climate change, like fossil fuels...

Bringing asset owners in line with the Paris Agreement starts with more transparency. The EU and Member States should require investors to assess and publish their climate alignment, as recommended by the G20 Financial Stability Board’s Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD)...

The oldest Millennials are now over 30. Of this group, many finally have jobs (remember the economy crashed just as they were graduating college), many have families. The rebooted economy has been good for them.

They actually have things worth guarding and that they don’t want to lose them—the time for the childish nonsense of the far left is over, because leftist ideals put those things at risk. They also now see that *any* leftist, once elected, will happily hand the keys over to the radical leftists.
