The biggest story this election season is not Donald Trump or the fortunes of the two winners in Iowa, the unattractive tag team of Ted Cruz and Hillary Clinton. For all their attempts to seem current and contemporary, these candidates - and Trump as well - represent older, more established elements in American life, such as evangelicals, nativists and, in Hillary's case, the ranks of middle-age women, seniors and public-sector unions.
The biggest and most important development has been the massive support among the new generation of voters for Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and his open embrace of socialism.
The new generation's lurch toward socialism would have been unimaginable at any previous moment in the past half century.
Unless capitalism or its crony offshoots can create a credible future for the young, there's little reason to expect that this generation will abandon their determination to change the system that, for all its faults, has created more prosperity over time for more people than any other.

Millennials are so stupid that they think there is a free lunch, so they fall for the Democrat promise of Free Stuff for their votes. There will be $20 Trillion of national debt on their taxpayer credit card when Obama leaves office. The only way that can be paid is to inflate our dollar to the point where bread will be $10 a loaf. Their families, should they be able to afford families, will suffer greatly for the votes they are foolishly casting now.
Yepper - history, both past and current, is full of examples of where the Left is trying to take us and how sometimes we do it to ourselves while seeking an “easier softer way” where someone else takes some of our personal burdens - the trap is salted with some really sweet bait of one opts to turn of the brain and go with the base desires.
“Why would this be any surprise? After all, our educational and entertainment entities have been pure propaganda for over 40 years in support of what we see today...SOCIALISM.
We have demasculinized men, masculinized women, embraced homosexuals, transvestites and gender changers, placed the blame for all of the world’s ills on the white race, freed women from raising children, destroyed morals and virtues, and too many others to mention.
It’s the culmination of the “perfect storm†that has brought us the millennial generation...the generation that will take down the America we once knew.”
Excellent post.
Excellent observations.
Well, they did have Festival and the Red Hour to let loose, rape and loot.
“Millennials heed the siren call of socialism”
Looks like the lessons of history have to be re-learned every 2-3 generations.
Although young people have always been more socialist minded the fact that a huge percentage of today’s young people are non white doesn’t help at all.
Facts:
1) Except in the very odd/exceptional election year of 1964, the Dems haven’t cracked 50% of the whites in a Presidential election since 1932.
2) Once the ‘64 election was over, the Dems understood that they would never win another Presidential election again unless the Republicans REALLY screwed up...or unless they changed the electorate in a dramatic way.
3) The Dems, courtesy of Bobby Kennedy who wrote the law, and Teddy Kennedy who pushed it in the Senate, passed the 1965 Immigration Act. That law dramatically reduced immigration from our then-traditional large sources of immigrants - England, Ireland, Holland, Germany, etc. - and replaced them with vast numbers of Turd Worlders...whom everyone knows vote around 80% for Dems, and will continue to do so for the rest of their lives, as new immigrants have traditionally done.
4) As a result of the ‘65 Act, and due to the Dem’s outright lying in ‘86 regarding an effective (or any) fence, there are now probably 30 - 40 million illegals in this nation. Note that the (probably low-ball) figure in 2005 was 11 million...we have 2-3 million come in every year, so simple math says that the number is actually somewhere between 31 and 41 million). If any substantial portion of these people ever become citizens, then the Dems will have accomplished a complete shift of the electorate, and will be virtually invincible on the national level. Every state will become like California, both politically and economically - which is to say, overwhelming Dem and broke. But at least if you don’t like California now, you can leave for a better place without much trouble - where are you going to go if EVERY state is like that?
5) Every Republican, and every Conservative voter MUST UNDERSTAND that if such a state of affairs comes to be, NO OTHER ISSUE WILL MATTER AT ALL, because we will ALWAYS AND FOREVER lose on those issues. Immigration is THE issue of this election, and this election is as critical as the 1860 election was - and for the same reason, because it will determine whether this nation continues on as it has existed in the past, or becomes a new and unrecognizable entity that simply occupies the same geographic territory.
Please wake up, and help others to do so by sending them this post (or recommending “Adios America” to them). It really is THAT important.
i’ve heard it said this is the result of giving every kid a trophy
Promise almost any ramen-eating college kid free stuff and free college tuition, they’re there.
He knows his target audience.
When you’re 18-years-old and mommy and daddy are paying your way through college, it’s fun to play revolutionary. The little brains full of mush supported Eugene McCarthy, a goofy socialist, in 1968 and supported McGovern in 1972.
Then in 1980 and 1984, they voted for Ronald Reagan.
For white millenials, I’d think they’d lean towards the TEA Party as they’ll be paying a lot of bills for other peoples’ children (while bearing few of their own). That is certainly preventing many young whites from buying homes in NJ, where school taxes make up 75% of our sky-high property taxes. Why pay $6K+ for schools you don’t use?
On top of that, the welfare/Section 8/ObamaCare subsidies should focus these young people on keeping as much of their suppressed wages as possible.
Thank you; see # 31.
Nonsense, that's been the norm for every moment in the past fifty years at least. Young voters flirt with insane socialist ideas, then move rightward as they gain a bit more experience (thought often not far enough). There's no reason to assume that millennials will break the trend.
I’m not surprised.
There is scant sympathy for Wall Street and crony capitalism in America.
Neither of the major parties seems interested in defending the American Dream and in securing a future for young people.
With the way things are headed, radical socialists could displace the liberal and conservative mainstream parties in the foreseeable future.
Its already happened in Greece. It could come to America in our generation.
Can’t help but wonder whether Soros is ready to get onboard with Sanders, then topple the economy and, in a Depression, get the rest of Millenials and LIV’s fully behind Socialism.
This is what happens when you stop educating “young skulls full of mush” (Rush) and start programming them. You no longer teach them HOW to think, you program them on WHAT to think. America is starting to pay the price for this ignorant screw up.
Something for nothing will always look good to many.
My daughter is at Penn State main and she said they all have Bernie and Hillary stickers. She said Hillary will win. She has the only Trump sticker at University Park. She hates Penn State very liberal. She has one more year to go.
Millennials, like dogs licking antifreeze, like the taste of socialism.
They have not lived long enough to know the truth.
