Right now in the United States, there are more 23-year-olds than people of any other age. This seemingly trivial fact of demographics is an anomaly more than 50 years in the making. According to U.S. Census data, since 1947, the most represented age in the United States has always been a member of the group born in the 20 years after WWII, the baby boomers. In 1950, it was age 3. In 1990, it was 29. In 2010, it was 50. [snip]

Even the ones with some Conservative leanings seem embarrassed to talk about them, thanks to their gubbermint education and ceaseless shaming through social media. "I'm not a Liberal. I'm very sorry! At least I'm not one of those EEEEEEVIL right-wingers!"
I was particularly incensed by the young Democrat hack who said he became a Dem because Republicans don't care about the poor.
And particularly struck by the young woman who says she has soured on the Dems because they lied to her about Obamacare (thought it would be free, I'm sure)
Once we pass on this Republic will be unrecognizable.
Maybe the Republic is dead, but don’t be so hard on the young. Most of us were similarly naive at that age. Then real life knocks.
Millenials - “maturing” alongside Generation B(astard)
Once they stop living at their parents home and their parents stop giving them money, they may change their naive tune.
They are brainwashed by liberal educators at all levels, bombarded with liberal views that include mocking & condemnation by Hollywood in their TV shows and movies.
The incestuous relationship between network news executives and Obama 'advisors' insure nothing but liberal propaganda reaches their ears on the evening news.
Plus they are more ignorant than a box of rocks from what we see when asked even the simplest questions on current events or major historical events.
Later.
Take hope in the fact that most generations are liberal when they are still young and stupid, fresh from 4 or more years of liberal academic indoctrination. Many will grow out of it.
The millenials may steer us leftware but the country has already been moving left for many decades with the long and steady rise of big government. So previous generations have also played a role in moving us leftward IMO. The millenials are just continuing the long term trend.
But one thing worth noting in regard to this shift is the ever incrasing crushing national debt load. We are inexorably moving toward an unsustainable fiscal situation. As Margart Thatcher so aptly said “eventually you run out of other people’s money”. So I think liberalism will eventually collapse under its own weight. Government cannot expand indefinitely.
RNC/GOP do not seem to do much,except try to maintain their own positions.
Two things:
1. Hide your cash.
2. They’re 23. A lot of conservatives felt the way they do when they were 23.
BTW, OF COURSE the country is finished. And it will happen before these kids can impact the government all that much.
See tagline...
I firmly agree, but I also think it will be a very rough time. WWII rough.
I see lots of cases of “kids” living at home in our community. This phenomena seems to have become a way of life for many of them who have become accustomed to mommy and daddy paying most of the bills. So they have no intention of leaving the nest as this would result in a drastic scaling back on their free wheeling lifestyles.
The parents don’t seem to be giving any consideration as to the consequences of this prolonged adolescence. They just want Johnnie and Suzie to “be happy”.
Exactly. If by now some people can’t see what the RNC/GOP really is, they never will. Its all about them, not us.
Oh, I dunno. When I was 18, I was very liberal. When I was 23, I was more conservative, but still a complete dumba$$.
Paying taxes tends to sharpen one's political views. Having kids makes them sharper still.
The stock market can’t rise forever without a correction. The longer we go up, the worse the correction is going to be IMO.
And the national debt cannot rise forever. Eventually the interest (debt service) alone will bring the rise to a halt.
Yes, we are heading toward interesting times. Buckle up.
The Millennials reflect the changing demographics of this country fueled by immigration, legal and illegal, and minority birthrates. We are shifting to the Left and will continue to do so. Demography is destiny.
no one knows the future except God. i pray that the millenials are still mostly potential to the good but, it’s pretty clear that the powerful amongst us baby-boomers were main *instruments* that satanic power used, *and continues to use*, to destroy the country.
what corrupted us? well that’s a study in 20th century leftism.
The brain-washed and ill-educated Millenials will never amount to much. They will depend on others to support them. They can’t afford marriage and a family. Their life spans will be shorter, and that’s the bright side of their future.
Do you think the lack of jobs and declining wages have anything to do with it?
The stock market cant rise forever without a correction. The longer we go up, the worse the correction is going to be IMO.
There will be a “correction” either way, but in the latter case it will be of a different form - and possibly far worse.
