I'm 33. Most in my generation from my anecdotal evidence of knowing people are fiscally conservative and socially liberal. Let gays get married, weed should be legal, you do you, etc. Also for lower taxes and more power to state governments, for the reduction of Federal powers and reduction in entitlements. We essentially want adults to be responsible and be adults. We discipline our kids. We pay our student loans back and tailor our lives to account for debt and saving money is a priority. We entered the workforce just before the economic downturn and many of us were laid off or were scared for our jobs early in our working careers.

The "older" side of mellenials are not the problem. People born 1991 and on are the issue IMO.

That would be correct.

My oldest daughter was born in '81 and she's a full blown nutcase living in Berkeley CA ... there is no hope for her.

My next two daughters were born in '83 and '85 and, while they are not zealots they both lean left.

Second wife gave me a Son in '99 and he is very Conservative. A lot of the kids around him are as well although there are definitely plenty of Demwits on campus.

I've been told that there has been a surge of Young Republican memberships on a lot of campuses around the South at least. Now, my Son is a KA and he travels to a lot of the various campuses around the SEC and other schools for regional chapter meetings and he says things are definitely starting to swing back our way a bit with his generation. Mostly among the young men though ... not the females.

That would jive with national trends I believe as women have always been far more liberally progressive than men.

You can point to the suffrage movement in this country as the point when socialism/liberal progressive communism began to take hold.
