Unfortunately, I know just as many young people (in this case I’m referring to late 20’s to late 30’s...not really young, though) that were in their teens during the Obama years. They are fairly well off, college educated, two, sometimes one large income, professionals who live in affluent suburbs who are so into the self-affirmation, social media generational “feelings” that they vote against their own self-interest (they vote Democrat) because it “feels good” and Trump is “such a bully”, and who are we to judge that America is better than anyone else, blah blah, blah...I blame some of this on a much easier life than their parents and grandparents before them had, the education system, Hollywood, and, I’ll say it again, social media. This Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, etc., etc., generation is based on digital “friends” (not real), “life hacks” (looking for the easy way out), memes (pointless diatribes) and lack of depth of understanding/logical argument...they don’t want to be judged, and expect everything to be absolutely perfect...for everyone, regardless of personal decisions and consequences.... (Rant off).
Excellent rant and exactly on point.
