I think it’s pretty common for new/younger voters to start somewhere left of center and as the grow and evolve over time drift right of center. I don’t think this is anything new.
Your post reminds me of something Winston Churchill once said. I am paraphrasing here; but, I think it goes something like this: “If you are not a liberal at 20 then you have no heart and if you are still a liberal at 40 then you have no mind.”
“I think it’s pretty common for new/younger voters to start somewhere left of center and as the grow and evolve over time drift right of center”
Not the same. Kids we knew who turned liberal in college then later conservative grew up in a conservative culture with most likely conservative parents. Today they are indoctrinated from Pre k. and their parents are liberal.
Yes being for gay marriages new. Wanting 7 year olds to be able to decide their sexuality is new. ripping down Confederate statues is new. Ripping down Columbus statues is new. Taking over multiple precincts is new
Maybe last generation you would have been right. Not this time
Except this group isn’t doing that. Even as they get jobs, buy houses, and have children they are sticking to their liberal views, especially the college educated, suburban, white women. They are thoroughly indoctrinated. The demographics do not favor the continuation of the American experiment. If not this year, by 2024, the Left will control everything and at that point it’s over.
Mant old Republicans were young democrats. Few old Democrats were young Republicans
