As with every generation and despite the best efforts of the teachers' unions and the leftwing professors to hide it, reality asserts itself. They start thinking for themselves, questioning what they have been told, challenging received wisdom and convention.

Welcome to life.

Well, what do the Republicans offer anybody? Lose even more freedom? Shut down the press? The conservatives seem to have a double standard with what they say and do. They say they want less government. That’s only for businesses not for us. They want to restrict our personal freedoms.

The GOP is a party of old, white men and the new generation has nothing in common with them. Just wait till they start voting.

Welcome to life.
I'm entering decade 6 of my life and I've heard since I was a teenager that the end of the Republican party is nigh due to young people are liberal and the demographics are changing in the Dems favor....then life happens and they change.

28 percent of those polled expressed overt support for Republicans in the 2018 poll - about the same percentage as two years earlier.

But that does not mean the rest will turn out to back Democrats, the survey showed. A growing share of voters between ages 18 and 34 years old said they were undecided, would support a third-party candidate or not vote at all.

This is exactly what every generation goes thru. Republicans never get to 50% identification in any generation but independents are up for grabs and they lean Republican.

Democrats have an election strategy based on demographics: 90% of blacks, 60% of latinos. Given.

Then, the have to scramble for white votes. 50% - 70% of public employees. Then what? Well, 60% of the young (18 - 30 age) voters. To make sure they get them, they have the unionized teachers and radical professors. They know they'll lose them (to life) in a few years, but they'll be replaced by the next cohort so it's OK.

Republicans get the rest.

LOL, did you see the recent 2016 Presidential elections?

Repubs had youth, Blacks, women in the race.
Dems had 2 old white people who fall down when they climb stairs.

Let's name the top leadership of the Democrat party then average their age. It would be somewhere around 75.

Maybe Nancy Pulosi can explain it better to you.

seems to me its the democrats pushing to take away our freedoms.

as for shutting down the press, tell me which outlet has been shut down since trump was elected. again its the democrats that are pushing to take away our rights to free speech and freedom of religion, not the republicans.
