Or below so mindlessly follows the news for truth. It’s also funny to me how they never watched news until Trump won in 2016.

I’m not sure what they are learning in college, but it sure isn’t common sense.

To summarize, people are stupid and either follow the trend or the loudest voice in the room. For college students and recent graduates, that would be liberalism.

These stupid woke teachers are showing cnn news everyday in their classrooms... congrats you teachers you went to work, like I have been doing everyday since 2004, when I could legally get a job... don't brainwash our youth, it all comes down to having a great father figure... nobody's gonna get successful unless yourself makes you successful... that is the problem with the youth... they are brainwashed by liberal teachers!!!

That's because your cnns & msnbcs are closer to jersey shore than they are a news channel. They get to watch this altered reality that those news channels have perfected.

Reading 15 second snippets of news on their IPhones is not watching the news.

The reason is simple. It’s called ‘confirmation bias’ and it actually gives you a hit of dopamine like a drug does. They are hooked on it and it’s why people suffer derangement from consuming too much.

Did you know Trump is coming for your healthcare? You are, after all, under the age of 26.

Part of it is confirmation bias, part of it is a societal holdover from when we believed the news was indeed unbiased.

I’m also 25 and I went to college. I was taught that liberalism is the way of the future....

However I have common sense, and see that is bullshite. Like I told an acquaintance earlier, the Republican Party is the party of reality, and Donald Trump is the curator of common sense in this nation. The Democratic Party and the liberal movement represent pipe dreams.

The village raised your generation from Ms Teachers Union in kindergarten to Ms Genders Studies in grad-school.

And a village can only raise idiots. Now the idiots want to burn down the village.

You're one of the elusive lesbian, pink unicorn-elephants that shows up on occasion.

Watch Yuri Bezmenov video on YouTube. It's called communism and brainwashing. Your cohorts have been brainwashed. It's that simple. They are willing dimwits. You will have a better understanding of what is going on now.

“Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction.”

From Ronald Regan. There are no guaranties for freedom. It takes thought.

I minored in Political Science at LSU 20 years ago and I remember going to class and listening to Karen the teacher and a ton of student Karen’s and I sat there and was like WTF is going on here. It amazes me at their logic and thought process.

What a sad and miserable group of individuals!

1. The youth of today is lazy. Parents haven't taught self discipline and responsibility to their offspring. It's someone else's fault. News teaches reliance on them for their version of truth.

2. Self affirmation. Selfish behavior creates the necessity to be confirmed by others because of the weakness of the individual. Everyone needs others, but not to affirm the courageous decisions that are tough. News confirms that all are weak without their deception.

3. They don't earn; they consume. Until one starts to earn their sustenance, one can never understand the hard work and dedication it takes to succeed. News teaches you can't do it on your on with lies.

4. Many have turned their backs to The Almighty. Everything is His and due Him. Jesus is The Truth. News is their own god and many worship at their altar.

Been going on for eons.

Sounds like you have:

1. Good Parents
2. Common Sense
3. Independent Thought

With enough younger folks like you around, this wouldn't be happening.

Kudos.

Trump reminds me of the line from Private Parts where they are talking about Howard Stern's ratings. "the common response is I want to see what he does next". The left wouldn't know what to do with themselves if they won, they are dogs chasing their tails right now. They have burned down and ruined beautiful states literally and through governance, now they want the country and when they burn it down, they will point a finger at the right and say it is there fault.

Baw I’m your age and I’m with you. You are not alone. Plenty of people sharing BS 5 line memes as the gospel too.
