Millenials - the generation growing up near 2000 and grown up no later than 2020. If you can't remember bittorrent, wikileaks, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, or Barack Obama, you're not a millenial. You don't have to remember myspace. Yes, a millenial is a millennial and neither are recognized as a noun, only as an adjective, so both are not even a word.
I remember around 2008, when I voted for Obama, I had my parents and other older folks telling me that I would become conservative as I’ve gotten older. I thought that was a joke back then.
And I think it is still a joke today. I’m 42 now, and even more leftist than I was when I was young. I hate capitalism, I support democratic socialism, and think Bernie is the president we need. So guess they got that one wrong huh.
I do feel like Millenials and Gen Z will break the mold of young kids becoming conservative as they age. Which is great, because once the Boomers pass on, there will be no more people elect Republicans. I see a bright future ahead.
Have your political views shifted with age?
