As a millennial who grew up in an aluminum-sided single-wide and the first generation of my family to go to college and then come out in 2010 when the economy was in the tank, I understand. We've been getting the shaft our entire adult lives as well.
The easy days of the boomer are long gone for those looking to provide for themselves.
However, after going back to school a couple times on the dime of a defense contractor I am able to hold my nose, go to work everyday, provide for my family, and live debt-free while my wife (who also holds a graduate-level degree) is able to stay home and properly educate our children to hopefully and prayerfully contribute to a better society for the future.
Hang in there, man. It'll get worse before it gets better as the empire stumbles and tries to catch its balance before it falls on its face.

ask a boomer how many hours in a work week and the answer is 60-65
ask an under 25 year old and the answer is 30-35

Both GoP And the Dems are self-serving and corrupt parties. Be wise and vote Libertarian.

You’re right but I think the one silver lining of this administration is that people my age are realizing just how blatantly stupid/evil the dems are.
Key is to be strong in your views, but not overbearing about it. Encourage it when you see the opening. Thing is now people are scared to have these beliefs. Especially since the left has done a good job of putting themselves in key positions. Let people know there are others and that will be helpful.

I’ve always voted R down the line and the same can’t be said for a lot of the people my age, but the ones I associate with are starting to wake up. Hopefully the pendulum swings hard and fast.
Encourage those you know who are "waking up" to push back farther to the right.
The pendulum does, as they say, always swing back. But it never swings back as far to the right, thereby leaving the "center" to be constantly shifting to the left. We need a genuine revolution of GenZ and Millennial voters to push the center back to the right.
You're 25 so you wouldn't have firsthand knowledge, but the center has lurched so far to the left that a person who would currently support "1990s Bill Clinton" type policies, would be considered a "right-wing extremist" in this modern era.
