Society has radically changed since Reagan. The biggest issue is public education. It has been hogged tied by the left. These kids are indoctrinated very thoroughly and the parents are very checked out. Of course, I am generalizing, but this is generally true.
You’ll hear “free housing”, and “free education”, and “free medical care” a lot from the Bernie supporters, but you’ll rarely hear “freedom” from them.
They were interested in “free speech” when it helped them attack the Establishment. They attacked our culture with no holds barred, and used their Constitutional rights as a shield.
Now they are the Establishment, and conservatives are the outsiders and insurgents. All of a sudden, “free speech” is a problem for them, and so they want to get rid of it, and the Constitution.
Just phony, pseudo-intellectual BS artists, same now as in 1964.
Article is total confirmation of what I’m always preaching here.
This country will go Socialist once enough of us head off to that great Tea Party in the Sky. May be too late to change that.
Having been spoiled from birth, many young people expect someone else to make them happy. Having been encouraged by Leftist professors in this false premise, they will not succeed in life, but they will always find someone else to blame for their failures.
Young people know that mommy loves them.
They run into some troubles, but they go home and mommy loves them.
Once they get out on their own, they realize that 99% of the rest of the world doesn’t really care about them, and 1% just wants their money.
It’s called “growing up”.
At least Christians and Jews find some fellowship.

When one of my older friends, family or acquaintances dies I say, “ All the good ones are leaving.” I think you are correct in your assessment of where things are headed.
These young people don’t want to take responsibility for their own life.
Maybe the better way to look at it is that mommy takes care of them.
When they get older, they realize that no one is going to take care of them.
The strong ones grow up and start to take care of themselves.
The weak ones want mommy and are content to let government be their new mommy.
They’re not interested in freedom. They’re interested in total control.
What the Leftists do not accept even if they have thought of it (unlikely) is that personal/political freedom and property freedom are inextricably intertwined, and you cannot have one without the other.
If you cannot own your own property or work for a wage that you are worth or you wish to work for, you do not have personal freedom.
If you do not have personal freedom, you will not be able to acquire and own property and wealth.
What then happens is that the really awful people get into government to take advantage of the weak people who never grew up.
“From bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage.”- Alexander Tytler
The rate at which we are going through the last four stages is disturbing. Our children and grandchildren are no longer guaranteed a future of liberty and freedom.
The Demonrats began nominating Socialists in 1896. Bernie is an outright Stalinist. The Dems haven’t nominated a non-leftist candidate for President since John W. Davis in 1924.
The fact is, every generation starts out young and stupid in general, and graduates to Normal and conservative. The current crop of pod-eating snowflakes are no different from the drugged out 60s kids, or the flannel-wearing grungers of the 90s.
The Big difference, is the elders in the 1960s and 1990s didnt have the internet to lament the collapse of civilization from their bedroom while real, honest, hard-working Millenials ARE in the US, making a difference, and are aghast at their woke bretheren.
Those Pew studies, if read, point to these generational differences and how the current elders were dumb kids once, too. These youths will grow up, throw off their idiocy, and vote Deplorable. In fact, maybe that process can be hastened if the older people actually talk to young people - they are ripe for conversion .
The commies want your stuff. They really are the personification of a thief and a leach.
There is a hope and that is called "Life" and "Reality." The ideals of youth are detached from the reality of life. . .thus the youth are always prone to the false hopes promised by Socialism. Socialism is the rabbit, the tortoise is the inexorable march of the reality of Life.
My son voted for Obama twice. . .but when he entered his 30's. ..the"reality of life" started to bite him in the ass. Today, he is a conservative and a strong Trump supporter. The hope is just that: The youth don't remain young!
