Game changer: Trump may solve the Millennial problem, or at least cut it in half if he wins

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Game changer: Trump may solve the Millennial problem, or at least cut it in half if he wins

Posted: 5/10/2016 8:38:50 PM EDT

Poll after poll shows Donald Trump has terrible approval ratings with millennials — but just how terrible?

A PPP poll released today shows 49 percent of millennials ages 18-to-29 "would consider leaving the country” if Trump is elected.

his may only encourage older Trump supporters to work harder, as they may see this as a productive purge to rid America of Bernie-loving hipsters. With all the negative media coverage and stereotypes of millennials, this may just be more ammo for those who deem our future to be lost.

Half of millennials will LEAVE if Trump wins?

This has just become the most important election in the history of elections.

The others want to get rid of millionaires and the military.

Funny thing is that most of those in that age range do not vote. Sadly a lot in my age group don't either. I know my brother refuses to vote.

Awesome, leave then. They should go to China or better, North Korea and experience the socialist brotherhood found deep in the mines or under the scorching sun that beats down into the fields. Mebbe they'll come back as capitalists then.

Speaking of Millennials, I read a good article about tips for them at work. One was "Don't brag about your ignorance". Apparently they use this as a way of feeling superior or more with the times by saying they don't know how to use antique technology like fax machines.

I only skimmed the article, I can't find it now.

Sounds like a win -win situation.

"I'll leave the country if ____________________ (I don't get my way)!"

Boring!

"I'll throw myself into a volcano!" Now we're talking!

"I'll cast myself into the sun!" Yeeeah!

"I'll morph into a shark and shelter for the next decade in a different dimension!"

Talk about a win-win-win-win.

A few might leave.

A few more won't vote for FHRC.

A few will vote for Trump.

The rest will stay home.

Trouble is in a three election cycles or so they will become dependable Dem voters.

Yes. Because there will be no-one around to pay for government benefits, retirement, or insurance premiums for the boomers who've retired, who will either have to return to work, or starve.

I think you are over estimating by about 8700000%. Most of those morons dont realize you cant just waltz into another country and stay there like you can here.

I wish they'd just stop feeding into the whole "I'll leave the country" bullshit.
Nobody ever left. Nobody will leave.

Hell, 99% of those "millenials" which were interviewed probably still live in their mom's basement---and
couldn't afford to leave the country for a vacation...much less, picking up everything they own and moving to another country.

Fucking people are dumb.

That is sort of like saying 'If Trump is elected 49% "would consider flapping their arms and flying to the moon'". They might consider it, but they will never do it.

They won't. Name one country that is better than the USA.

The answer is that there is not one that is better.

If they chose to leave, go ahead. You will just make America greater.

Hey now I'm a Millennial.

Barely

Born in 1982. I'm supporting Trump, but voted for Cruze in primary. The more the GOP and millennials hate Trump the more I like Trump. Millennials aren't used to Trumps no BS get the job done talk. Hurts their feelings.

My cousin on the other hand was raised in a conservative household, but is now a full blown Bernie supporter. Born in 1991 I think. Definite difference between early 80s and early 90s millennials.

The dates vary, but they're generally classified as people born between 1982 and 2000. Their reputatation is as you have stated (again, generally).

By definition I happen to be a millennial. And I'm shamed to wear that badge of dishonor.

Can some gen x'ers, or gen y'ers give me a pardon? I can start pleading my case, first off. Work doesn't scare me, even the hard stuff. IT stuff is not in my wheelhouse. I don't whine if shit doesn't go my way. I've been submitting w-2's since I was 14 (that one still confuses me on why my dad made me do that). And I was born the same day as Elvis, albeit in 1983.

I promise I would not do anything that would sour the remembrance of either prior generations.

What about their retirement?

And their disability checks?

And make up for their high health care costs due to being generally unhealthy?

This is broad brush land!

Good. Most people my age need to see just how nice the USA is compared to other places. I'm not a Trump fan, but if he is going to run half the millennial idiots out of this country, I could come around.
