If anything is going to kill the conservative movement, it’s gotta be this “get off my lawn” attitude towards the next generation. Like it or not, that generation is the future. We have to help them to live a better life, not sneer and push them away. Some of my friends work for start ups as engineers and benefit immensely from older experienced mentor figures.
If older people treat the younger generation as enemies, why on earth would so called Millenials want to follow their advice and way of living?
Oh please, these big tech companies aren’t replacing us older IT workers with American young people, they are replacing us with H1B foreign employees and their wives as well, next comes a green card and babies born here to become citizens.
I am guilty of a bad attitude toward the young. Probably people with children and grandchildren (I don’t, sadly) would have a built in Positivity Bias (new book title) and be able to see examples of good young ones.
I am the cynical crabby older guy now and I should improve on that.
All young people are not like AOC. She really should get off my lawn.
