Indeed, 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.

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 they can open 500 Socialist chapters. It won't matter...some men, you can't reach but the kids are getting smarter. 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.

You’re right - this is nothing new. For decades, colleges have been filled with people who delay adulthood - it is four more years of high school (at least), and four more years of excuses as to why they aren’t working.

I could only attend a commuter school; ageing hippies trying to rally students to save whales were met with polite indifference. The only people dorming there were foreigners, and they probably thought whales were delicious.

Yes, I go back to my favorite millennial bartender/barista (who does fairly well by the way): “only about 5% of the people who like socialism know what it really is.”

I believed a lot of socialist/communist type nonsense when I was in college in the late 70's. I outgrew it. When I was in college, I didn't know sh*t (but I thought I did).
