There's already evidence based on the fact white millennials voted for Trump over Hillary.

Yeah, I've noticed whites starting to band together like African Americans do.

Not me. I hate liberals. Not too fond of conservatives either though.

The old saying 'if you're not a liberal when you're younger, you don't have a heart and if you're not a conservative when you get older then you don't have a brain' will hold for Millenials just as his for the last 20 generations.

I expect that we will see them grow up and mature as they get older, just like every other generation. We all thought we knew everything when we graduated high school, even more so in college. The the real world and adulthood smacks you in the face. Buckle up b*tches, the world hasn't even started to crap on you yet.

Once they start watching the impact of liberal policies on their own pocketbooks and on their children they will grow more and more conservative. I have found nothing makes a person more conservative than being somewhere on the middle class spectrum and sending your child to school.

Well see it depends on the next two years. For example repealing aspects of the ACA will affect millions of millennials which might not bode well for the GOP. I will say most hated Hillary and these protests are hurting the DNCs credibility.

I'm not worried about Trump per se, I'm worried about people like Paul Ryan.

They will become conservative once they hit 27 and are off their parents insurance!
