As did I.

I think we're expecting too much of them. Commenting on recent news from a website like reuters is clearly the worst kind of media elitism.

Most people would call me a conservative even though I identify as a "classical liberal"

Everyone who is stuck on the whole "identity politics" thing is forgetting one thing - the smallest minority is the individual. If we fail to grasp that, then we'll fail in every other regard; both as individuals and as a society.

Back in my day we just called it growing up.

Id wager more of those are just liberal independents than becoming conservatives

Terry Hood, 34, an African-American who works at a Dollar General store in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and took this years poll, said he voted for Democrat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election.

But he will consider a Republican for Congress because he believes the party is making it easier to find jobs and he applauds the recent Republican-led tax cut.

That's the saddest, most pathetic thing I've ever read. I feel so bad for those brainwashed idiots.

Yikes

How dare a minority be happy with more jobs and lower taxes.

Oh look a YouTube link with a half naked (kinda unattractive) chick on it, totally not just clickbait. Gj TC, you fell for the classic youtube scam.

Fiscal conservatism has its merits, but if you think fiscal Trumpism is legitimate, I have a bridge to sell you and a massively growing deficit to show you.

And I went from $20 to $600/hour because of those sweet sweet tax cuts, as long as we're making shit up.

But if we aren't, I'm not American. I'm Canadian, I have a part time job in Ontario while I go to school and went from $11.40/hour to $14/hour because of the minimum wage increase :^)

Put up or shut up.

I'm compensating for my lack of size. I also drive a pickup truck with Motley Crue and Harley Davidson stickers on the back window.

I wonder what Generation Z's views are on climate change if they're more conservative.
---

The Gen Z people I know (mostly nieces and nephews) are a lot more conservative then I would have expected.

It seems to me they laugh at SJWs and their hive-mind mentality.

I mean young people are very much always against being told what to do and think and that is the current liberal platform. They tell you what to do and think.

It quite interesting actually.
---

If I had to guess, people unanimously hate the new Democratic platform, i.e. this stupid neo liberalism social issues first bs and not so much liberal economics or freedoms. It's hard to like a party that seems to hate you unless you're a minority in every possible way.

No just the dumb ones.

That's wells-fargo which seems to be failing already. I'm at fifth third and about 2/3s of people closing accounts and transferring to my branch are coming from wells-fargo. The other two big ones we see a lot are Huntington and PNC. People should really use credit unions if they care about their money...I don't even use fifth third as my bank and I'm employed there.

Anyway, I start my new job next August teaching English at a community college so it doesn't affect me :)

Probably cuz SJWs are scaring everyone away

I mean, it's no secret that people tend to be more conservative the older they get. It's the entire reason we also tend associate conservativism with the out-of-touch older generations.

They aren't more conservative. And they're the ones who have to live in the world the current generation is destroying.

Democrats unofficially supporting them doesn't help either.

Conservatives and liberals that are closer to the center are alright. What's actually dangerous for this country is the authoritarian loons on both sides of the spectrum that want to turn this country into a dictatorship.

As long as more millennials are starting to shift away from the extremes, we'll be okay.

SJWs, privilege BS, patriarchy BS, rape culture BS, safe space BS, victim Olympics, and feminism pushed me out of the democratic party over the past few years. I'm 32 and getting more conservative with every passing year I'm black too so I have to deal with the whole Kanye treatment as well

What subjects are making you become more conservative?

I would think discussion of privilege in particular you'd support. The DC metro area is probably friendlier to an upper class black person than most parts of the country but I've witnessed mistreatment of my black peers more than enough times to not think we're in a racism-free bubble.

I just listed all of them.

I'll go into privilege for instance. It's a ridiculous thing to bring up, its a fact of life that has always existed. What is the point of bringing up constantly that some people are born into better situations then others. LeBron James has height privilege when people mention he is an all time great should we devalue his achievements because he was born into his body. Of course not.

Some people have charisma, some people are attractive, some people have a gift with numbers. Some people are born into a country that there ancestors founded and hold a large portion of the positions of power. Ok...AND? This is all self evident. Life isn't about what hand you start with, it can't be helped, all that can be helped is how you play your hand and let me tell you black people have been playing their hand horribly.

I am not going to fault some people for having negative views of black people, I have negative views of black people. Not because their is some genetic predisposition they have to crime or stupidity, but because black American culture is toxic. It celebrates violence and drugs, it places no value on education and hard work, no value on responsibility and family and raising your own children. Tell me what part of white people racism forces black fathers to abandon their children?

Then when they don't achieve anything in life they blame it on racism. Why is it my entire family came here from Haiti and we have all done well for ourselves, is it because of Haitian immigrant privilege or hard work? I dont care that you are disadvantaged we all have obstacles you need to figure out a way to overcome them and black people aren't doing that they just keep complaining the game is rigged and im sick of it.

Both parties are probably losing support.
