“So where are X’ers and others hanging out and talking politics?”
The 2% doesn’t bother me so much. The youth are more likely to be in the social media/reddit type crowd. I’m a late baby boomer but was politically indifferent until my mid-20’s. I really liked what I heard from Reagan at the time and I began to get more interested. Then in 1990 I found this guy on the radio named Rush who really was saying the things I had been feeling for a long time.
This is why it’s important that we don’t let the left shut down conservative speakers. These are the crowds that need to hear from all sides and not just the indoctrination message of the left.
“but was politically indifferent until my mid-20’s.”
I think that’s pretty typical.
As a young teen I was very interested in politics, maybe because I grew up in Washington DC. Then I was just too occupied with other things to pay attention, until my mid 20s.
