“We keep hearing that millennials are so liberal.”
Millennials voted two for one for Buckwheat. If you have a better moniker than “liberal,” let’s hear it. I’ll start - morons.
It’s mainly the change in ethnic composition that is causing that. White young adults are voting for GOP candidates at rates much higher than they were in the 60’s and 70’s.
To the extant that support for the GOP has declined a little since the 80’s 90’s among that demographic, it due to the neocon foreign policy and support for government surveillance by McCain and Romney.
