We discuss this stuff here everyday.
We complain about Obama's "Fundamental Transformation".
We say everything is screwed up, and we look back fondly a earlier times when things were better in so many ways.
We mourn the destruction of the Middle Class in America.
And then someone posts a story about how young people are struggling, wages from a full-time job are not enough to pay rent, DEI and human resource policies make work environments toxic, taxes and regulations strangle business, middle management has largely been eliminated thus making promotions much less likely (fewer slots) so that many entry-level jobs have no potential for ever being more than entry-level.
And the typical Freeper response is to berate struggling young people, say it's their fault, tell them to work harder, and then tell stories about how cheap their apartment was back in 1982.
Maybe someday these young people will want to be Conservatives. But from what I see today, Conservatives have no empathy for struggling people -- "I did it -- so get off your ass and you do it too". This doesn't help. This convinces young people that only Big Government cares about them or is willing to lend a sympathetic ear.
As a conservative, I do have empathy for struggling people.
However, as a conservative, I have ZERO EMPATHY for LAZY struggling young people. TOO MANY young people were raised on the idea of “participation trophies” for all. That kills the desire to work for success
STOP expecting the government to take care of you like your parents did.
Start acting like an adult and most of all, STOP VOTING DEMOCRAT!!
