re: Do free-thinking millennials exist?

You sound like you got lost on your way to the poli board.

Hey dumbass, the oldest millennials are nearly 40 years old, they are the working backbone of our country. They are married, have young children,etc.

You thing young adults with major responsibilities can’t think for themselves?

Problem with millennials has always been the same, their boomer parents never trusted them to make decisions on their own, now they are adults and boomers haven’t changed their mind.

When you listen to millennials, they almost all espouse the same talking points on whatever social or political topic comes up. It is truly uncanny. It’s like group think to the extreme. But why is that?

What exactly are you calling "free-thinking". Because if it's not parroting the same ideas of the rest of a given generation, then I doubt there is any generation that can be defined, as a whole, as "free-thinking".

Let's be honest...to be "free-thinking", one has to be able to consider both sides of a political or social topic. How many people actually do that? Most people have certain beliefs about the world, and will default to those without any consideration for the other side.

Just look at this board. Several generations are represented. Most people are going to immediately flock to one side of an issue without any thought given to the other side and it's merits.

Funny how most boomers I know just regurgitate whatever Rush or Hannity told them.

This board, which is probably one of the most solidly conservative/pro-Trump forums on the internet, is likely majority millennial

Are you telling me that a bunch of mostly white dudes from the Deep South are Trump supporters? Color me red.

You can exchange millennials with any group you believe to be extreme in how they only follow one line of thinking and it will work.

Unfortunately this country is filled with too many people that can't accept that others will think differently than you and that is ok. We don't have a country that can look past differences in thought to do what's best for America.

Most of you dont even know what age category millennials are in.

I work with a few and they don’t ever STFU about politics and their social agenda for the day.
