In the 2020 presidential election, Millennials, those born between 1981-1996, and Gen Z, those born between 1997-2012, made up a larger share of the electorate than Baby Boomers by a sizable margin: 38 percent compared to 28 percent. By the 2024 election, Millennials and Gen Z will likely outnumber Boomers among voters. By 2036, those two groups, in addition to an unnamed generation of voters, will make up roughly 60 percent of the electorate.
It is not difficult to see which party is trending with younger cohorts. Hint: it’s not the GOP. In fact, 65 percent of those ages 18-24 voted for Joe Biden over Donald Trump. In June, a national poll conducted by the Institute of Politics at the Harvard Kennedy School found that 40 percent of those ages 18-29 expect their lives to be better because of the Biden administration. The same poll also found that 64 percent of 18- to 29-year-olds believe that health insurance should be a guaranteed right, and 55 percent of those surveyed think the government should do more to stop “climate change.”

There needs to be some articles about explaining to adults why they should stop electing Assistant Democrats.
It’s not rocket surgery. Give the left control of schools, and young people become leftists.
People are shoving their kids into public schools, letting them watch filth in media and making no attempt to interact with them in a way that teaches them moral values and then wonder why they turn out the way they do.
Check the mirror buttercup.
Good for them. The society they’ve been clamoring for they will have. Deprivation, sorrow, confusion, disease, war, fear, fear and more fear. Good for them.
Its not just parents.
Public funded schools need to end. No longer are they doing any favors to children. Or parents. They are the antithesis of ideal learning environments.
Tell Johnny you’re giving the kid down street half of Johnny’s allowance. If asks why tell him you’re a socialist.
It’s not rocket surgery.
Is that like brain science?
;-)
That's it in a nutshell.
Americans over the last 40 years have been so concerned with getting ahead that we've abdicated the responsibility to supervise how our children were being educated. We've allowed leftists to take over education under our noses, along with social media. A parent can't counteract eight hours of structured leftist brainwashing in school followed by another six hours of facebook/instagram indoctrination. You can try and explain to them all the reasons socialism is bad, but after they've spent the last 15 hours in an echo chamber they're just going to roll their eyes at you because their teachers and friends have already told them how Dad's going to try and change their minds.
It's like trying to tell a Jonestown cult member that they shouldn't drink that Koolaid because it has cyanide in it, you might as well be talking to a wall because they know you're lying to them because Jim Jones already told them you would lie to them.
You just tell them that if they want to grow up to be communistic traitors who will be utterly destroyed by either patriotic Americans or Almighty God, then go ahead and become a Democrat.

Started my daughter and grandson early. Just said we don’t do democrats/liberals in this house. So far, so good!
I agree when it comes to public schools but we made the choice to be parents. And that is our job.
We are just barely clinging to the lowest rung of middle class but we managed to keep the thundering hoard out of public schools.
One word: Venezuela.
I raised my millennial and Gen z’er to KNOW better. Hard working... One is serving in the Navy...The other is an ICU nurse. Both vote conservative. I can’t speak for others, but you CAN raise a child to KNOW better.
Well, you could start by saying to your grandson, “you vote Dem, you’re out of the will!”
Do these people not drive cars? Do they not eat food?
I taught Old Testament to the 6th graders at my parish for 20 years. I gave them a short lesson on socialism that they all understood.
Johnny and Jane are two students. Jane works her tail off to get an A in the class, while Johnny does the bare minimum to get a C.
The teacher gives part of Jane's score to Johnny, so they both get B's. Almost in unison, my students cry out, "that's not fair!!!" lol
