THE FUTURE OF THE NATION IS IN BIG TROUBLE

. . . 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.

Ø
  None  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.

    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.
