My guess is that the millenials are not basically conservative. They still want all the government “freebies” and handouts, they just don’t want the government looking over their shoulders while they watch porn on their iPads.
They want to have their cake and eat it, too. They want to live in a land of make-believe with rainbows and skittle crapping unicorns.
That’s why they all voted for 0bama. And would vote for him again.
“My guess is that the millenials are not basically conservative.”
Yes, but you could have gone back and said that about each and every generation of young people in recent memory. They never start out basically conservative, we have to win them over. Here’s an opportunity to get a foot in the door, on an issue that is important to them, but we can’t take it, because we’ve allowed our party to take too contradictory a position on the issue to be seen as standing for the right principles.
