I have been saying that they are the conservative version of the hippie.
It’s funny watching the liberals complain about the protests when they in fact help pave the way for the modern protester.

I laugh. Ha. Ha.

No.

Traditional in outlook. Clean. Employed. Child-bearing. Non-violent.

Definitely not hippies.

“they in fact help pave the way for the modern protester”

That’s preposterous. Contrary to what movies and tv shows teach us, hippies did not invent rebeliousness. There were protests before. One can say, at most, that the hippie legacy is seen in contemporary leftist protests, especially those on campuses and against the WTO and G20, for instance. You give them far too much credit.
