If people want to know how a nation will turn out, look to it's youth. This is how the Millenials voted. It was the old and middle-aged that voted Trump in. In 10 years time once the old are dead and more of young blue-hairs have reached voting age then the Dems will rule. The Dems will most likely realise the fuckup they made and find someone who can beat Trump in the next election. It'll probably be a disabled, black trans-woman who grew up as an adopted child in a latino family. They'll have so many minority cards to play Trump won't stand a chance. It scares the living shit out of me.

Yeah, everyone thinks like this--then they grow up. As people get older and get more life experience, as they watch failure after failure from the government, and how the "Elite" who say they are your friends shit on you time and time again--the pessimism and skepticism begins to set in. The realization that you can't take people at the word (Or at least certain people) starts to worm is way into your mind for some (Not all, but some). The need to fit in decreases at the same time as you become established in life, it's not as important to 'be cool' on a super-Liberal campus, or be loved on social media, and the desperation to subvert yourself to the cult decreases (Conservative kids experience this too sometimes with religion ect.)
Eventually it all culminates in what you have on this board--where the skeptics will move between left and right depending on what they find the least bad (Regardless of whether they started hard right or left). Or some of them will simply bend right as anger at the government's constantly failure wants to see as much of it out of their lives as possible. And that's the real difference between older folks and kids; it's not intelligence, its
wisdom--it's seeing how the exact same situation has played out before, and having a sense of how it will play out again. And once you've been disappointed enough, lied to enough, tricked enough--your perception of things starts to become more critical, and the desire to not trust others is slashed.
That blue sea's biggest chance of remaining was if Hillary won. It would have confirmed
everything the media said, and cemented trust in the media and their little dogmatic social ideologues (Like the Hollywood I'm with her crowd). Trump is a massive dose of reality, it's the first stop on that train of lies, disappointment, and trickery--showing these kids its important not to be manipulated. And every time Trump makes them angry, every time he needles them, that will hopefully grow (Not for all, but for some). They will start to understand why their parents don't get so enthusiastic about 'new trends', or why their parents urge them to read the whole article and not the headline....Then, they will look around one day and realize they are now the bitter old folks while they walk into a booth and quietly vote for Ivanka while their own shitty kids talk about how Chelsea is the way forward.
