"A man who is not a Liberal in his youth has no heart. A man who is not a Conservative in his old age has no brains." - apocryphally attributed to Winston ChurchillWell, in order to convert Millennials, it looks like an up hill battle, be prepared.
The GOP’s Millennial problem runs deep
The Republican Party’s struggles in appealing to young people have been well documented. And even those Millennials who do identify as Republicans or lean toward the GOP are decidedly less conservative than older Republicans
Overall, Millennials (currently ages 18-33) are the most liberal age group. In our report on Political Polarization in the American Public, we used a scale based on 10 political values questions about the role of government, the environment, homosexuality and other issues to measure ideological consistency. This survey of more than 10,000 Americans finds that, on this scale, Millennials are considerably more liberal than other generations: About four-in-ten Millennials are mostly (28%) or consistently (13%) liberal in their views, compared with 15% who are mostly (12%) or consistently (3%) conservative (44% are ideologically mixed). Older generations are progressively more conservative.
The GOP’s Millennial problem runs deep
Young folks usually vote Democrat, until they grow up and actually own and run things, and then they usually morph into Republicans, year by year...
Not exactly news...
The right isn't doing very well with the GenX demographic either. I think those younger than Baby Boomers look at the GOP s the party of old white folks with old yesterdays view , whereas the GenX and Millennials gravitate to more diversity and liberal social values. We talking groups who grew up with MTV, good or bad, it has effected their views, specifically race and social views.
ROTFLMFAO.... Who's your GREAT GRANDPARENTS???
