I'm seeing this happen with my older kids, now post-college and slogging away with jobs, high taxes and paying for healthcare they don't want.
From Vox - "In 2008, Barack Obama's campaign promised "change we can believe in." And young voters did believe in it: 2008 saw the third-highest turnout among young voters on record, and Obama captured an incredible 66 percent of their votes (by contrast, Al Gore and George W. Bush tied 48-48 for the youth vote). Here, finally, was a president young voters could believe in.
Five years later, young voters have stopped believing. A poll by Harvard's Institute of Politics found that young voters' trust in the institution of the presidency has dropped from 44 percent in 2010 to 32 percent now. In other words, Barack Obama's presidency has broken young voters' faith in the presidency."
I strongly suspect you libs have helped create a generation that will end up more conservative than anything we have today. Obama ruined them early with his promises about big government. He lied, and just like Nixon destroyed the Boomers faith in the GOP, he's destroying the Millenials faith in the Democrats.
They are disillusioned by the puppet known as Barack Hussein Obama. They really and truly....deep down in their gut....thought that he was the new messiah in America....that there would be a radical transformation of the American Way....because he was a new kind of "leader" and that's what he promised.
If anything, I hope the Helicopter-Parented Spawn Generation™ learned to not be so *******ed naïve and learned a harsh lesson about voting for a inexperienced, celebrity, man-child for President.
This doesn't mean young people are becoming more conservative, it just means we will be seeing the Democrats becoming more liberal to reflect their voters.

Barack Obama campaigned on a staunchly liberal platform. What in the world would make you think that yet another liberal will campaign on such a platform and actually follow through?
If a guy as radically-raised as Barack Obama couldn't do it, why do you think others will be successful?

You mean more socialist..more money for more programs for redistribution.

Wow, that is quite a mean thing to say about Reagan.

He might have campaigned on a liberal platform, but his time in office has been more moderate, thus that can create some upset with voters who was hoping for someone more liberal.

Maybe more socialist, but definitely more liberal and less moderate. I no longer count as part of the group of young voters, but my views have stayed very liberal.
