I really love the "damn yankee" comments and 10 foot wide paint brush.
Newsflash: I grew up a damn yankee and have voted republican in every election - just like my parents, grand parents, and great grand parents. I was in my 20's when my great grand parents on both sides died. I spent much time with them and learned about various presidents from Teddy through Tricky Dick and the prevailing social issues of the day. Suffice to say, the only difference between small town "yankees" and small town southerners is the latitude. I'd guess most of the 'damn yankee' paint brushers have never spent 5 minutes in small town yankee land. Other than the dialect its same:same..........
I'm also born the first year of Gen X or the last year of the baby boomers depending on which chart you believe. This problem started before Gen X but has been exasperated by the late 20th century and me-ism. I only look out for me. The family and church went downhill and 'me' became the new standard. We are reaping what we've sown as a society. It isn't all one generation or group of people; its gradual decline of society, lack of respect, and me-ism all rolled into one. We need to fix society first.

The older people in this country have sat around on their asses and let the rich get such a grip on things that there is no opportunity for anybody but those in the top 10% and only then at the behest of the top 1%. We've gotten more and more restrictive laws that are enforced less and less uniformly with a lot more surveilance. We've let the debt get completely out of hand under both Dubya and Zero. That is what makes the ground fertile for a guy like Sanders. Wrong ! We keep voting for people whom we believe. Remember the TEA party vote? When they got to DC they blended right in; except Cruz and a very few others.

The youth of america "the Millenniums" have no clue and want to drag this country down a socialist rat hole.
Are they really that ignorant and blind to think that socialism and Bernie Sanders is the way?
Who do we blame for this? The parents for all of the entitlement they raised them with?
The next generation needs to wake up and fast or this nation as we know it is lost forever
What the fugk is a millennium? I can tell you that as a millennial, I'm sick and fuggin tired of getting blamed for every bad election in this country. And for the record, I blame the baby boomers. Their generation was the start of this whole schit storm and somehow all of the "good people" like yourself allowed the ex-hippies to get control of many key institutions and also trash the economy to boot. The position we are in now was a long time coming. It didn't happen over night. Old fuggers like yourself don't want to admit that schit slipped away while they were in charge. It's much easier to blame the young folk who have been voting for the least amount of time. A lot of truth to this response. Does anyone remember George McGovern now you know how your Dad felt.

Low info voters, and blind party loyalty. They don't know what they're voting for. That's how we got the last 8 yrs. I remember when Sarah was running for VP a newsman interviewed several college students on camera. The guy reversed all her positions and attributed them to Obama. They loved them. Then he gave them Obama's positions but told them they were Sarah's plans. They hated them. Stupid is not correct, but close.

You sound like whin-y fuggin millennial who can't accept blame.
The earliest a millennial could have voted was 1998. They (we) didn't make up a significant voting block until a decade later. This country was headed down the tubes long before that.

All of my life has been spent in small town yankeeland.
Our previous mayors worked hard at leaving folks alone.
The last two (the last 15-20 years) were former union employees (socialists by trade) and their crop of suburbanites have wasted no time in making the town a land full of idiots with ideas and a tax base to leech off of, just like the union schitholes they left.....

Correct.  dvd: The thing I notice is folks are born stupid and naive. Politically, they gotta get burned a few times before they smarten up....which takes years. The education process will kill a nation, with all those dumb bastards running around voting for people like Sanders and Hillary. It's really a constant process,and not restricted to Boomers, GenX, Milenials,etc etc. It's just there,and always will be. Some people never out grow it. I have to admit, though,currently we have an awful lot of dumbies out there

Hippies and flower children In my opinion, these people are the biggest problem, but any way you slice it, the republic is going down on our watch. We're the one's not stopping it.

yea I can't blame the millineals for this
The boomers , just due to their size, are like a damn locust that just consumes everything
The Millineals see a pretty bleak future - no jobs, expensive housing, expensive education, expensive health care, and a group of retirees that demand government spend money on them and pass the cost onto the next generation. Even a planet that may not sustain them.
I can see why a Bernie Sanders appeals to them. They have no work ethic, discipline or ambition. They want instant results with no effort. They have absolutely no clue on what it's like or how to build anything worthwhile. Our best be is to divide the country and salvage what we can as far as freedom goes and let the socialists implode in their utopia. They can have the east coast since they already FUBARed it. sounds like they are a product of their environment of course, everyone here that has Millineal kids would say its not *their* kids that are like that, and if they raised kids that had Millineals, they'll say their kids didn't teach that to Millineals. My dad hated the Beatles, I hate rap music, talking about how the generation below you is worthless and is going to kill this country seems to be a tired cliche. The only difference is the Millineals will be the first generation that doesn't really have it better than the generation before them. They may not have earned anything to date, but they were given a [bleep] hand to play with from the start.

Ignorant people abound, regardless of locale. Some of the most ignorant people I've met were in NYC. The difference between a bunch of the Northern Ignorant folks, and the Southern ignorant folks is that those from the South were curious about what they didn't know, in general. Those in the North couldn't give 2 shiets how something was in the South, because the South is backwards. So in short, while both ignorant, the Yankees were less inclined to do anything about their ignorance, hence they are stupid. Again, why so many get cunny hurt of the word Yankee is beyond me. If you ain't a Yankee, then WTF does it bother you? You don't get pissed when someone goes on a rant about Islam do you? If you ain't a Yankee, then who gives a shiet. If you are a Yankee, then suck my dick.

Millennials are very open to the plurality of ideas. Many of them are very willing to hear a good explanation of economic reality and conservative values. Some will see the truth.
The Republican Party is just as complicit in all of this in the last couple of decades, as they have not used elections as educational opportunities for years now.
If conservatives cannot articulate what exactly it is that they feel is valuable enough to conserve, then of course a progressive is going to sound better to the voters. The GOPe has been pandering for so long simply trying to keep themselves in power that the voter base has never heard any articulation of conservative values, especially in economics.
For example, whether right or wrong, everyone knew that Reagan held to "trickle-down economics." I think Bernie is literally the only candidate in this entire cycle that folks actually can identify his economic perspective (socialism). "In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king."

Possibly you could pull up one of my posts in 13+ years I’ve been here that proves your point?

They want their education free and are too stupid to realize they will pay the rest of their lives for it in higher taxes
You've just nailed the biggest thing I hear them bitching about all the time.
