uncle bernard Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 https://www.nationalreview.com/2024/02/the-link-between-age-and-conservatism-is-breaking/ Interesting article showing Millennials and Gen Z aren't getting more conservative as they age like previous generations. You guys have any theories? I have one! (hint: they're the first generations to grow up without extensive exposure to lead paint and gasoline) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mspart Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Interesting theory. Mine is that leftism/socialism has been taught in schools over the years to the point where most coming out of HS and college are filled with conservative bad, lefty good messages. And by the man in the street interviews, they don't know much else. But lead paint and leaded gasoline might have something to do with it. mspart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ionel Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Personally I go with the crazy uncle theory. More and more families have crazy uncles. They show up at Thanksgiving and bestow crazy left wing ideas and hoaxes on their nieces & nephews every year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red viking Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 I was conservative in H.S. through graduate school. Then I realized that a lot of what I believed was just propaganda B.S. from hacks like Rush Limbaugh. The right is filled w/ moral cowards. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could it be that the 'conservatives' that people see today on tv and the like, may or may not represent the tenants of Conservatism as you see it but are the loudest and get the most attention. Often times its for a negative reason or spun that way. With that being said, what are the positive tenants of conservatism that we could look to as beneficial for the future?

A similar thing happens to just about everyone in every walk of life. They find themselves in a situation that pays the bills. Maybe brings a little notoriety. Being a big fish in a tiny pond isn't nothing to most people. If they can grow and grow the pond that feeling grows too. Then you're Rush or Alex Jones and you've gone off the rails years ago and are too far gone to turn back. Then you owe $1.5B in a defamation case or your pillow company has collapsed under the weight of your idiocy and the fear of starting at zero is too big an idea to even comprehend. Sunken cost is cruel mistress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This person is more courageous, doing this, than you are thinking its bad or wrong. PS. chances are some people that laugh along with you at this, deep down, wish they had the courage to dress this way. Even just a little bit. In the mean time, keep wearing black shoes with your blue shirts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jross Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 While dress codes exist for a reason (respect), this casual style is a great use of personal choice. It's not how they dress, its the stereotype of how people who dress this particular way behave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
