Yea, these are just stupid kids being used and manipulated. When they grow up and mature, many will likely become conservatives. We want them to grow up, not kill themselves
I remember being hecka liberal. I remember using arguments like "theres three times as many empty houses then homeless people. Just give them homes!"....then I got a job. Then I had my own individualism. Understood others. Grew up.
I'm willing to bet 75% of liberals today will one day be conservative. But then they have kids and the cycle continues.
Individualism, perfectionism, punctuality, and even objectivity are all "white privilege " ideas, not kidding, this is what my local school board, MCPS relates and even NY Public Schools promote, look it up.
For me it wasn’t just getting a job, it was getting myself away from the social pressure and having a family that really changed my outlook.
It can’t be underestimated the effect social pressure has on your mindset. If there’s a constant active movement to ostracize non conforming thought among your peers, it’s hard to fight.
Social media makes this social pressure easier to enforce. It also makes it easier to avoid, though.
This mirrors my story. Extremely liberal household, living in Portland, surrounded by extremely liberal people, being fed extremely liberal news.
After voting for Obama twice, it was about a year into his second term when I actually started paying attention to politics and doing my own research.
Anyhow, I voted for Trump twice, changed my registration to Republican, lost friends (not by my choice), and my family casually mentions from time to time how "concerned" they are for me. Even as far as saying "we think you're getting your information from fake news".
For me, back in my 20's and same for my wife, we just weren't engaged in news or politics. There was no social media, but I don't know if that really would've mattered because I didn't care about that stuff. We voted for Bill (1st term only) because he played a sax on Arsenio Hall and we said "he's pretty cool, I'll vote for him" rather than the old stale white guy (Bush Sr).
"I'm willing to bet 75% of liberals today will one day be conservative."
Liberals of the past are nothing like today's open borders, america hating, islam loving, white straight Christian male hating, abortion wanting, gun grabbing liberals of today
They have to to buy guns to shoot themselves... but yet, they want to ban guns, so they would have to break their own values in order to kill themselves.
LOL true, the watermark is obnoxiously way too big. The whole meme is offensive to me. I don't joke about suicide. Not funny. I still support free speech though.
Not sure where this came from but it seems like a bit much

Well then I will stop making fun of them when they do. Until then, they are fair game.
ball busting is good character building. We could use a few less limp-wrist pussies these days.
Our entire movement is filled with disaffected revolutionaries.
It's like the song says, "We don't get fooled again."
There's an old saying in Tennessee...

So is "civility" and having "informed opinions".
You see people screeching about "White Informed Civility" or "WiC" on Twatter pretty frequently when you deftly destroy their argument.
Apparently the only argument a leftist will accept is "emotional experience".

How many conservatives do you know that were as radically deranged as these people when they were young?
People I know did a lot of crazy things when they were young, but it usually involved alcohol, not communist politics.
raises hand
I was once a Bernie supporter. I actually thought socialism and communism weren't that bad of ideas, just implemented wrong.
Then in 2016 I opened my eyes in just enough time to vote for Trump. I find it difficult to believe I used to think the way I did.
Wouldn't put a gun to my head tho, that's just retarded.
Beautiful. God is good.
There’s lots of them. Young people in the 60’s were liberal and wild, lots of crazy stuff they did. Many of them have grown up and did a 180.
many of them will just Cobain themselves after this election...watch the remaining ones try and take away 2A.
It’s tragic the bolshevik bernouts would want to smell like teen spirit before they could experience the exhilaration of free helicopter rides.

Yeah, because if dead, they stay a Democrat forever!
“... hello darkness my old friend ...”
Was curious what the top comment on this would would be, in other news, Sarah Carter has nice puppies...
It's not recent or related to Bernie. It's a 7 year old picture from 4chan.
