See 68 one of your own saying same thing I do

I am father to two millennials...women....28 and 30

I’m dad also to three boys ages 12 15 and 19

I’m not sure.....generation Z maybe

My girls are right wing especially the 28 year old.....the 30 year old is too she’s just weak on fag agenda sadly

28 year old is married to a like minded half Yankee from Schenectady who spent summer here near Knoxville

30 year old is engaged and cohabitats with a local Murfreesboro boy from an old line family who’s ancestors are buried in the antebellum cemetery like my parents are....Evergreen

My two older boys are as well....the younger boy is too young but it’s be a surprise if he turns out different

They are southern which helps but it’s more due to my influence

Kids in my era 13 in 1970

We took drugs and were wild but we remained faithful to God guns country history and tradition and even if we dallied with libertarian liberalism we never entertained faggotry or abortion or no God or gun confiscation or environmentalism beyond no littering and wet scrubbers on smokestacks and sewerage treatment as laudable

My oldest boy is on POL on 4chan which is green frog alt right territory

He thinks I’m too pragmatic

He despises most of his peers and our culture...and seeks out women who share his embrace of old America

And we live near one of America’s largest hipster concentrations in what is now too cool Mecca Nashville

It’s just how it is.....maybe the pendulum will swing back.

I did not look up your sign date but you are eerily like texaggie79

As a follow up to our separate but parallel discussions, an interesting study on political attitudes by "tribe" (a word I know that is often misapplied and, when so, annoys the daylights out of wardaddy) was recently published. I am not terribly happy with the methodology, and the fact that conservatives are undersampled (probably because we have better things to do than tell pollsters our personal views) biases the outcomes.

However, the results largely mirror a similar but older study by Pew. In addition, in this new study there were lots of "Progressive Activists" and other liberal "tribe" members who responded. Their demography may surprise some people:

-they are younger than the overall sample (+7%)
-Progressive Activists are OVERWHELMINGLY WHITE (+11%) and have the lowest % of blacks vs all other "tribes"
-they are more likely to be city-dwellers than the general population
-are way more likely to have multiple degrees vs other citizens
-2/3 of Progs are atheist, agnostic, or nothing vs 1/3 for all people

This would seemingly support my assertion that the dumb young people on late nite are drawn from the city-dwelling pool which skews lib. This is why I argue that the young pod-eaters are more likely stupid because of their statist beliefs and environment vs their youth.

The good news is a large chunk of the 18-29 year olds are Passive Liberals, disengaged or on our side. Thus, they haven't all been totally brainwashed and I suspect (hope?) they will eventually migrate to normalcy as they age. In the interim, I will continue my personal efforts to ensure this new group of citizens don't migrate to the Dark Side. Thank you tolerating me.
