It’s a childish ideology of “give me what I want and shield me from the consequences “. Why wouldn’t children like it? Add in the total abdication of responsibility by parents who should have taught their kids to know better and you have our current mess.

It’s all they’ve known; the modern Republican party is nothing more than a Progressive ideology that leans a little to the right. It’s kind of difficult not to be a progressive when your choices are this brand of Progressivism or that one.

The unwillingness to work towards your goals and the instant gratification culture. They love the highways but don’t understand the work it took to make them. They live the end result and think it was free to get. They see home prices inflated to the point that they know they will likely not be able to afford one. They will embrace the handout because they won’t do it on their own even if the path was paved for them. Also… some are just fucking lazy ass shit heads. You have those in every generation.

I’m center left, but I know some quite hardcore lefties.
They grew up with Bush 2 and the ME wars. They saw 2008 and the free check written too big banks while average Americans were left out to hang. Most of them are deep in student loan debt, cannot even dream of buying a place of their own, and even with big paychecks can’t seem to get ahead. Universal to everyone I know my age, even the more libertarian types, they all despise Trump and see him emblematic of all the above. |

Because the left has a thin veneer of being fair or sticking up for the oppressed through the excitement of idealism activism(when in actuality they are just pawns in oppressing people with centralized power). Couple that with kids today are usually filled with no purpose and the left gives them some purpose for the worst. The right has a higher path: you have the freedom to find your own purpose in life, freedom must be protected, it revolves around the Golden rule as a guide post, and most of the time they are brought up in a Christian home with a sense of self/morals to impact individualism and the world in a healthier way devoid of leftist authoritarianism.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Oh poor child, you are trying to figure out liberalism. you cant born 1985 Liberalism is easy to figure out once you understand that the politicians pushing it don’t believe a word of what they say on TV. It’s all about duping stupid people into giving them more power while simultaneously producing a higher proportion of stupid people in each succeeding generation. It’s the same as communists promising a workers paradise when totalitarian dictatorship is the real goal. Where government is involved, never mistake for stupidity that which can be explained by malice. |

Im 35.
The biggest thing I've noticed with most of the people i know my age is entitlement. I came out of college and went to a job site jack hammering floors for years and years before I made it to where I am. They came out of college and tried to find something in an office, because that's where they thought they were supposed to go. Then they stagnate there and they get pissed off they don't have the corner office and everything that comes with it. I mainly blame their parents for putting those visions into their head to begin with. After they languish in a soulless office setting for 10 years, suddenly everything is unfair. |

because at an incredibly early age we send our children to a school system that has become nothing more than a communist indoctrination system. Even when we discover this fact and have that communist system threaten us with a federal police force if we interfere, we send our kids in to be indoctrinated.

Because it's a compelling lie as long as there's nobody around to talk about the historical reality. Live well without having to try hard, everything is fair and your resentment of people that worked harder and have more is resolved by "equity". Someone else pays, workers are the bosses, and so on. Nobody seems to realize that the bosses are the ones in central planning. I've met a couple of people who have protested with Antifa and they didn't even realize what the flags meant, the red and black, and that the organization is anarcho-communist. Even that's absurd - anarcho-communism. No rules totalitarianism...wat?
It only takes a generation for the lessons of recent history to be forgotten. I grew up during the cold war and saw the ravages of communism, but people in their twenties and thirties have actually suggested to me that what I tell them about those days is a made up bullshit. "Nobody really thought there would be a nuclear war", "no, there were never duck and cover drills in schools", "People in the Soviet Union weren't going hungry like they do in the US", etc. Teachers run this country, and what they lie about and what they exclude is what the next generation will believe. The real ultimate cause of the problem is that people are lazy. |

What I can't understand is the youth of this country blindly supporting progressive ideas? So you want to go back to the stone age as long as it makes you feel good?

There are plenty of folks here with much more traveled roads than me...What am I missing? I was once their age but life red pilled me fast. There's a certain element of "default" leftism. To an emotionally and intellectually undeveloped people leftist ideas seem like the things a good person would believe, and who doesn't want to be a good person. But people who maintain their leftist beliefs into adulthood are either brainwashed to some degree, extremely lazy, or there's something developmentally wrong with them. Usually all of them above. Today we're ensconced behind generations of programing social conditioning, and we've become dysfunctional. Most parents are blind to how toxic public schools and pop culture are, or are conditioned to do nothing about it. Even with the recent surge in homeschooling only tiny percentage of the public is defending their children from the system that will indisputably mold them into terrible adult. Young people are not blindly following wicket and unintelligent people, we turn them over to those people to be programed. Even on this site the majority of parents will send their kids to 12 years of government school, them collage, even thought they we know exactly what type of people they'll become. |

Because it's easy. Why take responsibility for your shortcomings when you could just blame it on someone else? Shitty job? It's the fault of capitalism. I can't afford a house because of the "system", not because I made poor life choices. Being a liberal is easy because nothing is your fault! You must be right because everyone in the media and on Twitter agree with you, and give you lots of likes and attention when your parrot the Marxist narrative. The dopamine rush you get by just imagining posting some sort of Marxist drivel on Twitter and it being liked by your favorite celebrity is more than enough to turn you into one of Marxism's biggest cheerleaders. Keep chasing that dragon.

American liberalism is the epitome of permissiveness.
Children, and particularly those with the emotional development of children, are inherently drawn to permissive environments. The immature dream of a world where everything is allowed, everything is free, everything is yours, and everything is good. Where they don't have to pay for anything, especially their mistakes. |
