He had me at “the only republican governor in MY LIFE was Arnold Schwarzenegger”. Poor guy. I tend to forget what a paltry frame of reference our younger generations have. Not just in experience but in history and culture. I wonder if the majority Millenials are lost to us.

Maybe so but there's always hope the Millennials wake up. At least some of them are learning life lessons on the true realities of socialism and why it doesn't work.

The Millennial in the video was on the right track for the most part. Either life lessons has this guy on the conservative track or he had good parents teaching him. Kudos if this is one of our California FReeper's family.

There's hope. The millennials are supposed to be another Hero generation, similar characteristics to the generation that were children and teens during the depression, then came of age in WW-II. Politically, they could go either way, but some characteristics are worth noting.

They are more subject to peer pressure, than to influence from older generations. (i.e. "Ok, Boomer")

They will follow what they perceive as leaders within their own peer group, or what they perceive as leaders among Gen-X (the slightly older generation).

When the SHTF, their perceived "leaders" within their peer group will be clueless how to proceed or lead. (the Antifa pukes, when justice begins). In a crisis, these sorts of thugs will be unable to find their own direction, and will be unable to persuade their peers as they did before.

Among each generation, including the millennials (Gen-Y), there are about 3% to 5% who really have their heads screwed on straight, probably homeschoolers, former Scouts, military connected, rural boys and girls raised with some sanity and some useful character of their own.

In a crisis, (economic, natural disaster, war conditions, etc.), this small percentage of level-headed millennials will likely become the leaders of the other 95% to 97% of this clueless cohort.

That is a fair description of the transition of the ragged, confused kids of the Great Depression into the Heroes of WW-II. The millennials could shape up like that.

On the other hand, they could continue following the Antifa commies, and turn into the monsters from the Bolshevik Revolution.

Fun times ahead. At the moment, most of the millennials are unteachable, and unreachable. They will only reconsider their direction and their leadership when the conditions of a society in CRISIS demand that they reconsider.

Such as some crisis of Biblical proportions.
