Get Woke...Go Broke.
And, sadly, they are Godless.

Reason: Hollywood saturation, social media, and the publik skulz propaganda has left many of them completely useless, amoral fools.
A lot of them fall prey to “social media influencers”, mostly celebrities (or pseudo-celebrities) who are paid by companies to promote their overpriced junk through Instagram and Twitter posts.
The dark reason so many millennials are miserable and broke.
BASEMENTS
FOMO - fear of missing out
They can’t think for themselves. Public school indoctrination has made them unintelligent zombies.
Well, there you go. I spend zero time on it and I'm as happy as a bug in a rug. And I'm not broke either. Get a clue, millennials (not Freeper millennials, who are definitely several cuts above your regular millennial).
I thought they were broke because they spend all their money on smartphones, Starbucks and pot.
Does time spent on Free Republic count? I don’t think it should.
The keystone is schools demanded control over teaching curriculum, parents gave it to them and suddenly 10 years later, they have no skills anyone would want.
My nieces wasted 4 years of their lives chasing a Psy degree.
Now 4 years later, professionally they are already in dead end jobs.
I told them this would happen but what do I know.
I’m not an overpaid professor with a superiority complex.
They are overgrown and immature children-trying (and not succeeding) to make it in a grown up world
Ping.
In addition, most still have the attention span of a toddler.
College debt is crippling, even for those of us who have a useful degree and get a good job.
What I find the most annoying is how my peers have spent so much on video games and pot that when I’m in genuine financial difficulty from, say, surprise medical emergencies, the people in town just assume I blew all my cash on video games, when I barely spend anything at all on that stuff.
If you don’t believe that there is a God
and that he has a plan for you
the world can be a dark and miserable place.
That latest cell phone they buy costs $1,500-2,000 now
Semi-serious question:
Does FR qualify as social media? I’d say, yes, mostly.
Sure, they have their fair share of pod-eating Antifa-loving snowflakes who were all-in on Bernie and Hillary. But the Baby Boomers were pretty stupid in their youth - have we forgotten about the 1960s and then Disco? Every generation is dumped on by the elders, but in general they get more conservative as they age and turn out to be fine, upstanding citizens.
Most of the Millenials I know are either Deplorable or Centrist. Lately, they've become more horrified by their snowflake-bretheren, and are generally responding by doubling down on conservatism. Some 'kids' who may have chafed at Trump in 2016 are now thinking that jumping on the MAGA train isn't such a bad idea.
Given that Trump won by 76k votes, we need all the help we can get. I would encourage all people who reflexively bash Millenials to consider maybe inviting one or two of them that you know out to the range or something to loop them in to Camp Deplorable. If we don't, we run the risk of President Kamala Harris outlawing ammo while some of us middle age people wonder why the young ones didn't respond 'appropriately' to being ridiculed.
