If I were 25 today - I'd be a Democrat

At that age you don't have perspective - you don't know history. You probably just became politically aware a few years ago.
The current generation does not have an easy go of it. Education, houses and cars cost a fortune. It wasn't like that when I was a young man. I can see how the future looks a bit hopeless.
And if you don't have hope - you'll believe the promises of people who say they'll make it right. They'll do it by making someone else pay their fair share, they'll Eat the Rich, you'll get free everything. Those holding you back a Nazi's and racists - we may have to kill a few to get our way. I can see it, I can see it - it's not so hard to do.
I'm hoping common sense kicks in - but we're on a knife's edge. Between the democrats worthless promises and their cheating, they could take control. If they get control, they're going to rig everything so they never lose control again. If that happens, it's all over for this country.

25 is different than 18. 25 you’re damn near set in your ways.

All my kids have been conservative their whole life

Good to know you've given up.

Sorry to hear that

As a current 28 yr old, you’re a fig if you truly believe that.
Been a staunch conservative since 18 like my buddies, white males are demonized at my age but you can’t understand it.
At the end of the day we are men who want a better tomorrow though

even at 25 I knew abortion was evil and wrong and so would never be a democrat. both sides suck but democrats are put satanic evil. satan steals kills and destroys. that's exactly what democrats do. steal your money, kill babies, destroy society. at 25 everyone should be smart enough to know how evil demoncrats are.

At 25, I was just done with my second senior year at LSU.
It was 2008.
And I was a Ron Paul staunch volunteer.

Life is a lot easier if you are mature enough to realize something about adulthood. You will need a legitimate degree in a high demand job OR a technical field that also has high demand.
In addition, the US Military offers jobs daily that start paying immediate retirement benefits after 20 years. By 38, you could be retired drawing an income and then working in the same field in the private sector.
The problem is the younger generation simply doesn’t want to work hard to earn anything. People like the DSA play into people like you by making you believe they will supply you everything off of someone else’s dime.

Think you’re missing the point. Just working hard doesn’t cut it today. Sure mindset is key to a successful life but it’s not that simple. Someone starting out today has a much higher mountain to climb on average than in previous decades/generations/whatever time scale you wanna put on it.
Handouts of course aren’t the route but when the deck is so heavily stacked against you the motivation for change is definitely not going to just disappear. Disenfranchisement of the working class is a real substantial issue. And quite frankly regardless of which side of the political spectrum you fall on, the first party or politician that actually works to address that will be the popular pick going forward. Populism
For as much bitching as the current admin and its supporters do about elites they sure have made them even more powerful and wealthy.

I mean, sure, your perspective has some maturing to do at that age, but in no way does that necessarily mean you would be or must be a moron, lol.

When I was in college I voted for Clinton. I had no idea of the real world and thought we needed to change things after Reagan and Bush. Yeah..I was young and stupid.
Then I started paying attention and things changed.

Mao kept power because he manipulated young women. He gave them power they never had and they followed him like fanatics.
It worked. He stayed in power and went on to happily kill millions more.

Nah bro, today's youth is a next level kind of stupid. Almost every industry is being effected of a generation of poeple who are not capable of much. Youth has always been and will always be stupid. No life experience. This next generation coming up, scary level stupid.

Think you’re missing the point. Just working hard has never cut it all the time. Lots of boomers, silencers and greatest gens worked very hard and struggled.
That young people are less inclined to work hard today is a different matter, assuming it’s true.

You would be a really dumb 25 year old. You don’t like capitalism then go look up socialism. It’s never worked in history.

Damn, it takes a whole lot more for me to admit I’m gay.

Democrats bring zero ideas of value. Everything is take take take.
Also, apparently the next gen kids are leaning more conservative
