. . . with thinking like this!
This fellow did some research into what makes some of the political the protesters tick. You won’t like what he found.
THIS SAYS A LOT ABOUT HOW THE YOUNG PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY FEEL AND THINK, AND IT DOES NOT BODE WELL FOR THE FUTURE OF THE COUNTRY!!!!!Received from an Oregon Resident
While I was getting a coffee, I overheard 7 young people (22-26 years old, 5 males, 2 females) who had been protesting in downtown Portland the last few nights.
I told them I was doing research and asked nicely if they would answer some questions. They were cool with it, so I sat down and went for it.
Ø How many of you voted? Three voted. Of the four who didn’t, none was registered to vote.
Ø Did you do any research? None of them researched independently either candidate.
Ø Who did you vote for? All were for Hillary but preferred Bernie.
Ø Why the Democratic Candidate?
· “More things are taken care of.”
· “Time to have a woman President.”
· “Democrats aren’t sexist or racist.”
Ø Six of them live at home.
Ø All are under their parents insurance.
Ø Two have “real” jobs.
Ø Three aren’t working, nor are they trying hard to find a job. their parents pay for everything in their life or subsidize it.
Ø Six get money from mom or dad every month.
Ø Two have been on unemployment for 6+ months.
Ø One is at Portland State U, doesn’t work, and parents pay for everything.
Ø All 7 said Trump is a racist/sexist. I asked to cite proof …they answered “That tape, man!”
Ø When I asked, as a man myself, “Have you ever said anything like that when you’ve been hanging out with your buddies? All five males said “Yes.”
Ø Would you say it if you knew you were on tape? All five answered “No.”
Ø What’s the difference? I asked. “You’ve all said bad stuff like that. Does that mean you hate women and are a sexual predator?” Nothing. No answer.
Ø None could tell me how our government works … they didn’t know how laws are passed, how the House of Representatives or the Senate work.
Ø None could explain how a bill is passed.
Only one could tell me the difference between legal and illegal immigration.
One of them said, “Legal immigration is when you immigrate legally.” Seriously.
ØNone could explain the purpose of the Electoral College or how it works.
In 10 minutes they felt they had explained everything. Nice kids … but so ignorant. I know some awesome, phenomenal young adults; but I’m afraid the majority are like these seven. Too many participation trophies, too much coddling by parents and teachers.
In 1944 18 year-olds stormed the beach at Normandy into almost certain death.
In 2016 18-year-olds feel unsafe because words hurt their feelings.Uh oh, our nation is in deep doo-doo!
Hello,
I, too, have has similar conversations with young adults.
I’ve asked questions regarding geography, history, math, and government. They know little, and are reluctant to make any statements.
Then, I ask about global warming/climate change. They all want to talk at once, making strange statements about how we’re all going to die. And they’re all making emphatic statements, complete with waving arms and facial contortions.
These young people need to be locked up for a while so they can be brought back to reality.
Bill Moore
This is just the way the government wants them.
So sad but that’s what the
Democrats want .
I have had conversations with adults ages 30 to 80 and they all responded the same as the purported youngsters in this missive. but they were Republicans.
