Let's see how badly the Democrats accelerate this trend in 2024.

Yeah speak for yourself. My 80-something year old white parents have gotten way more liberal as they got older. Especially around social issues. Same for their siblings. None of them cares about things having to do with sex, which Republicans think is an issue they can win on. Or rather I should say, they don't think the government has any business being the morality police like the GOP thinks it should be. Whether that's regarding LGBTQ, abortion, etc. They also are much more aware of racial injustices than when we were younger and will talk a lot more about what it was like growing up in the 1940s and 1950s with regard to racism and bigotry.

And I'm still as liberal as they come at age 58.

Sharing anecdotes in a thread about trends across the population demonstrates a lack of critical thinking ability.

Nope, Boomers may be in the Midwest and Fla hanging on to Fox, but there are many quite educated 60 through 75 years old who remember the first time we had to fight for all this again. We are everywhere.

I think it's important to differentiate between national politics and local politics. Democrats have a significant advantage with every generation below the boomers - abortion, health care etc. But at the local level, democrats are a disaster - crime, restorative justice, absurd school boards. So I think that's where the tension lies. People generally like democratic policies at the national level. But they've come to despise the local progressives that are ruining cities throughout the country.

Doesn't mean people are turning to Republicans. That's a clown show.

I haven't found this true with my friends. I think this is "wishful hoping" on your part!

Wow, because anecdotal stories are so useful, as opposed to the objective stats used in the article that covered the entire cohort of Millennials.

Guess you must be a younger Millennial at the tailend who was taught common core math.

All Common Core Math is the idea of showing your work. It's not "new math" or shortcuts, some crazy curriculm, or anything new. Very simply it means show us how you arrived at your answer.
It looks like you, OP, could have used this, no?

Millennials have reached that stage in life where the have families and responsibility has taken the place of pipe dreams. A natural result is a move to be more conservative.

Might be the last generation where the cycle continues. Gen Z probably won’t know what to do when their parents die, the house gets taken over when taxes aren’t paid and they get kicked out of the basement.

Think homelessness is bad now. Just wait 10 or 15 years when the Gen Zers hit the streets.

The Republican party is gone. It's been replaced by a corrupt theocracy that courts conspiracy and insanity. They won't win, and if they do by some chance they do, this will be like 1938 Germany. Time leave the ship.

Out of all age groups, trump is most popular among......you guessed it.....Millennials. In fact, Biden is barely polling more popular than Trump at the moment. Biden's numbers will continue to sink once the looming recession hits later this year or into next year right before the elections. Once people lose jobs, Biden is toast.

I’m still waiting for some kind of evidence from that piece. Nothing is forthcoming and that suggests this isn’t quite as cut and dried as Republicans are hoping for.

OMG the “looming recession” that has been just around the corner for…three years now? I guess at some point a recession will occur and then you can jump at the chance to squawk about how right you were this whole time!

OP, your attempts at this propaganda post are lame. Do better.

If you really cared about learning styles and differences, you'd appreciate that some students can generate correct mathematical answers but don't have the verbal/written expression skills to provide an explanation. It penalizes those individuals.

Yeah, ehat we need is Trump! He's a "successful businessman"! He knows how to "run a business"!

No matter what the economy does Trump is still a rapist. Why would we run to a rapist to solve our problems because the economy is bad? He isn't going to solve anyone's problems from his jail cell.

I’m a millennial and don’t have a single friend or acquaintance who has shifted to the right. This is a right wing fantasy.
If anything, I know people who previously voted republican who now won’t consider it post Dobbs.

Where does Gen X fit in all this?

I’m a math teacher and this is false.
