What’s the saying? If you’re 20 and not a libtard you have no heart, if you’re 40 and not a Conservative you have no brain.
It is a saying that doesn’t cover this situation, we have never seen anything like this, they only voted 32% republican in 2008 and will always vote democrat.
I’d say that used to be valid.
Based on my own experience from a decade ago and the conversations with my nephew currently there is a mild awakening going on.
It is funny to speak with my nephew, as he discusses his younger counterparts in college, and notes their complete ignorance of history. As he explained to me the young college student is well steeped in Marxist and socialist ideas. Or they are decidedly libertarian (Ron Paulish).
Even my nephew, who is not liberal by any notion, claims the Constitution doesn’t work. No matter how much I point out to him, the things in our culture/government he complains about are enumerated in the document. I think this generation doesn’t understand our nation has had the proverbial soft coup’. They don’t realize it because they were raised and taught in Marx.
Just last Sunday we had a conversation about the role of God in our country. My nephew said he thought he was starting to lean atheist, this partly due to the socialism of the church/religions.
I don’t know if we can get the America as we knew it back. Even as we embraced reacquainting ourselves, with our own nation’s founding principles with 9-12 groups and the Tea Party, we continue to fail to pass on those ideas to the millennials. We’ve got to come to terms with the idea that those values are indeed novel to many of the next generation.
