“uncritical, non-thinking students”
These dumbed down young adults firmly believe they are enlightened and that anyone who deviates from the consensus is staggeringly ignorant. I work with some 18 - 28 year olds and when an older coworker tried to explain his views the young ones asked how anyone could be so ignorant.
Facts are dismissed out of hand as “wrong opinion” and their feelings and leftist talking points are elevated as obvious truths. None of them have a college degree while mine is, I’m ashamed to admit, Environmental Science (I’ve changed since college) and I worked in that field prior to staying home to raise my children. Yet when they found out I don’t buy into global warming nothing in my background mattered, despite my credentials in that area. I was politely dismissed as an ignorant fool who doesn’t get it.
They get angry when anyone suggests we might face violence from the many recent Muslim immigrants and they firmly believe police officers target black men for death without cause.
There is no thirst for truth or desire to know all the facts before reaching a conclusion.
Pretty scary, isn’t it?
On a brighter note - they’ll be voting before too long about whether to euthanize us old, tax-consuming, useless eaters...
All your words describe all older Leftists, too. A relative was visiting two weeks ago and, unfortunately for her, I had FoxNews on when she walked into the kitchen. When the BLM march, where they were shouting ‘what do we want, dead cops, when do we want ‘em, now’, came on the TV, she emphatically claimed those weren’t real BLM marchers. Ok, then WHO ARE THEY? She also wouldn’t hear that blacks commit a higher percentage of the crimes and that’s why more blacks are in jail. Dems don’t want to think that statement isn’t political, it is a statistic. They simply cannot accept any truth that conflicts with their preconceived notions. There are a whole lot of Dem sheeple in this country, young and old.
Hillary comes across that way -- the reason I dislike her.
