In another 10 years or less there won't be any more red states to move to. The Socialism-loving Millennials now outnumber the baby boom generation and when they get into power (they already are, AOC for one) all states will go blue.

Today's Democrats are anti-American totalitarians. Period, end of story.

This is the sad fate. The lefties have had control over most instituions for 40 plus yrs now, including the colleges and universities.

The young people have been primed now for decades.

A cultural takeover is damn near inevitable now. The conservatives screwed up good on this one.

Big time.

Ten or twenty yrs from now this country wont be recognizable in many respects.

Yeah. Really. I’ve never understood these generational arguments...boomers, millennials, etc. They’re just arbitrary timeframes on when people happened to be born. Not that there’s zero correlation to some mindsets, but...that leads me to point two. I’ve learned never to use too broad a brush when talking about a large group of people, because it’s going to be far too easy to find a whole gang of exceptions. I guess I’m considered a millennial, technically, but I find a lot of the descriptions of the “typical” millennial pretty foreign.

LOL, dream on forever. I can't imagine in a million years young socialistic liberal Millennials wanting to move to such highly bright red states as Oklahoma and Kansas. After all, those two states are kinda attractive for conservatives who want to move out of liberal cities. But TX isn't all that liberal and offers far, far more higher paying jobs, so plenty more conservatives will, instead, be moving to Texas, thereby assuring Oklahoma and Kansas residents happily continuing on with one of the lowest cost of living in the country.

I have no interest in generational warfare.

It's boring.

My post was predicting patterns based on data in front of me.

Millilenial or gen x or whatever bull crap has no bearing to me on the predictive patterns in front of me.

We're heading down a path that doesn't sit well with me......

AOC and her ilk get elected on sizzle rather than steak. I don’t know how much fuel is left in that tank, but I’ll agree it’s got longer legs than I thought. This is about when I thought it would start to die down, but while we are out of a lot of the peak wokeness/lefty activism, it’s still trucking along at a pace I just didn’t think was sustainable. So, I understand where you’re coming from. If I’m in a self-aggrandizing mood, I might say I was ahead of the curve in abandoning the big parties pretty much by the 2010 midterms, but I didn’t see this coming, and if I hadn’t done it then, the sharp upward curve in polarization in the last decade would have pushed me there sooner rather than later.

What I don’t have an easy time wrapping my mind around is why so many just kinda...go with the flow and keep allowing themselves to also get more polarized, radicalized, and deeply tribal. I wonder if what we see on MSM and online is just a loud shell, and whether most people just kind of silently say no to this stuff? It would explain at least a couple of things to me. In any case, I’m both deeply troubled, and somewhat heartened by the way things are going, though unfortunately I feel the former much more often than the latter.

And you should understand that the prior generation flailing against the next isn’t a winning proposition. The people are becoming more socially liberal. If you truly respect liberty that shouldn’t be a problem with you. Every generation changes. All men are created equal. That includes the LGBT. The free love generation needs to rediscover that part of themselves. We’re not going backwards on this...as is called for in the official Republican platform.

This is my line in the sand. I was a Republican. Biden was my first Democrat vote. Update the damn platform.
