Depends on the campus and even then it is not homogeneous. Extrapolating from one person’s college experience to the whole US is like extrapolating from yard signs. Not too accurate.
Agreed. I wonder if (with all due respect to others here) if it would have honestly been too much to expect a big en masse vote for Trump among youth. My feeling (correct me if I am wrong) is many of them staying home or voting Green probably harms the Democrats more than it does Republicans.
Never said it was for the whole US. It’s an opinion and with other experiences and folks I’ve talked to. My belief is that the Dems and Hillary cannot count on many of the young voters this time around. Sure there are bastions of liberal infested colleges like the Ivy League and Cal Berkley that will majority vote for Clinton. But in other mainstream colleges I don’t think they have the monopoly they once had.
“...not homogeneous...”
Sadly, the life experiences of the current rising generation produce far more homogeneous/uniform thought patterns than would have been the case even ten years ago.
Social media has formed them into groupthinkers to a huge degree among age peers regardless of physical location.
Just look at their instagrams - all the same themes and poses - same netflix, same youtube links shared. Social media makes it MUCH harder to think differently than the pack and real time location is not a huge game changer anymore unless the student attends one of the handful of truly Christian or conservative college.
Well pt, in my corner of the nation, Chicagoland, ALL the kids in my kids age group, are NOT voting. So, there’s that.
I’m sure other can/will weigh in.
Go take a survey and get to us, I’d be curious what you uncover.
