A lot of my peers are just now waking up and understanding how badly we have been screwed over in favor of what is basically a double handful of billionaires.
Oh yeah. Gladly most of us are younger and we will see them dead anyways.
And we will build our own fair world without such atrocities, because they all are obviously artificially created by the parasite rich class.
To be conservative, you have to have something to conserve.
It sounds delusional that people think the corrupt billionaires will give us universal basic income instead of say... bombing us to smithereens like they have done to Gaza and now Iran and afterwards bulldozing our remains and build another data center.
Americans are becoming MORE Liberal? Oh NO! We NEED to try and get as MANY MAGA as Possible before we Lose EVERYONE!
-The American Liberal Political Party AKA Democrats!
Its funny how liberal is used as a buzzword insult by the alt-left and the right.
Horseshoe theory.
What concerns me is that I always thought younger people were usually liberal by a pretty large majority, but now it seems like a bigger portion are conservative than in the past. So they might become more liberal as they age but they're starting further right than they used to. Kids who grew up through trups first term probably think this shit is normal. American principles have been eroded or completely re-defined, and they have no clue what we used to be and used to strive for.
Not really. It's just that there's no such thing as a moderate conservative anymore, everyone who would have been is just a Nazi now
I'm GenX. We've never had any political, population, or economic power: we were constantly outnumbered by the Boomers, who were always like, "Wait your turn!" - while simultaneously refusing to give anyone else their turn.
It looked like power was going to go straight from Boomers to Millennials, which was fine, as they're more in tune with the world, and more overall.
It scares me to think that power may instead transfer to the young hyper conservative/MAGA/Andrew Tate people instead. I'm hoping that either that won't happen, or that I'll be dead before they get control.
That's been the case for me, although I was never particularly conservative to begin with. I've seen it with some of my friends, too, to varying degrees. If this is as widespread as this guy claims, we need to speak up more, the Democrats don't seem to have noticed.
I'm as left as it gets and have been since I was a teen but I'm arguably becoming more radical as I age, given how society is unfolding as I age.
I vote in the primaries, and I vote the most leftist candidate on the ballot. If there isn't one that I really like, I'll write one in. It's an easy message to send, that you want more liberal people in office.
I might be biased, but I think they are getting gayer too.
