You olds better hope Trump locks in as many judges as possible, because the yoots are coming and they want their free shit. We can all agree that there was some premature issues with the supposed "Emerging Democratic Majority" but the young voter issue will start to become more and more problematic in the coming years for the GOP. Hardcore Husky probably has like 81% of all the young conservatives on the West Coast.

    And they are not the monolithic block the NY Times is looking for

    Agree with this. Age and life tends to moderate one's political (and other) viewpoints.

    Sure. It shouldn't be taken as a given that they will all stay AOC fans. But there should be cause for concern among conservatives.

    When people start paying taxes they become more conservative. Weird how it works when the government is finally spending your money.

    It sounds like an urban legend but its true. That first withholding is always special. Kind of like an anal exam dry.


    The GOP or conservatives would be smart to sell a working healthcare access plan that speaks to young and old

    They would be wise to circumvent the schools and teach the real cost of free shit and the wonder of achieving success and paying your own way

    Pop culture and the media skew left same as it always was. Most people are joiners and don't want to stand out. If being left is cool they will be left at least publicly

    We have the Reagan kids who grew up when it was cool to be conservative in the 80's

    Ideas win in the end. That's why the left lies so much about what their ideas really are.

    Today's youth face the prospect of being taxed to death so that a increasingly large bunch of old fuckers who've lived a low tax, high benefit lifestyle--I'm looking at you DJ--can keep collecting free shit. These kids also aren't having any kids. The math doesn't work. The "conservative" position would be to jettison the dead weight represented by the old fuckers--which would be a bunch of the posters here. Ice floes? Assisted suicide? Or just starvation? Whatever works.

    You concern over tax rates is legendary

    Raise them to save the overtaxed youth. Great plan

    This is why conservatives sleep well at night. The opposition is brain dead
