      1. Let's revisit this imbecilic tweet. I think it's part of a larger phenomenon of millennial-bashing.https://twitter.com/JoeNBC/status/894536930121187328 …

      2. Of course, the old decrying the softness & corruption of the young is an ancient theme. But millennial-bashing has a particular salience

      3. Generational criticism is politically salient right now because there is a genuine divide between generations along ideological lines.

      4. Generation post-65 tends to be whiter, more conservative, much more pro-Trump. Under 35, more diverse & leftists.

          Agree with some of this. The fact that the young are so lame makes me feel better about stealing their future.

          Younger men have been shown to hold more "conservative" views of women and their expected roles. "Progressive" is a often misnomer.

          There was an uptick in 18 - 29 voters for Trump ( Republicans) , which I felt palpable in my community - I attributed it to his shock factor

          How do they compare to previous generations at the same age? (Are young ppl more liberal or are these young ppl particularly liberal?)

          You mean liberitarian, which is very different than left.

          White Boomers grew up in subsidized suburbs, got cheap college educations, then tax cuts under Reagan/Bushes, now moan about entitled youth.

          18-35s have usually been much more leftist; they change as their stake in society rises w age. Abt 1/3 of young whites resist diversity.
