Received from an Oregon Resident
While I was getting a coffee, I overheard 7 young people (22-26 years old, 5 males, 2 female) who have been protesting in downtown Portland the last two 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. Three voted. Of the four who didn't, none was registered to vote.
None of them researched independently either candidate.
All were for Hillary but preferred Bernie.
Why the Democratic Candidate?
"More things are taken care of."
"Time to have a woman President."
"Democrats aren't sexist or racist."
Six of them live at home
All are under their parents insurance.
Two have "real" jobs.
Three aren't working, nor are they trying hard to find a job either.
Pay for everything in their life or subsidize it.
Six get money from mom or dad every month.
Two have been on unemployment for 6+ months.
One is at Portland State U, doesn't work, and parents pay for everything.
All 7 said Trump is a racist/sexist. I asked to cite proof ... "That tape, man!"
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."
Would you say it if you knew you were on tape? All five answered "No
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.
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.
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.
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.*
This country is in deep trouble!!*

Unfortunately, this is a familiar picture in most places and is the result of liberal propaganda being taught in public schools and colleges across the land for the past 50 years. Now we are finally recognizing the dangerous results of being dumbed down and where it is leading us. And so Trump was elected. But don't let your guard down. The Soros bunch is already planning strategies to have Trump and his Administration fail.
Fail, go back and look at the tapes. Isn't that what the pubs said in the beginning when President Obama was elected. Politicians should be working together for the good of the people, not for their own personal interest.
The one sided indoctrination that has taken place particularly at universities needs to be exposed in an unrelenting fashion and hold the faculties and administrators accountib le.Parents,stop wasting your money.
Again, an example of the lost art of parenting. Why would parents allow this to happen to their kids? Do they not care? Are they so disaffected or too busy to take any pride in their children? Are they stoned and don't see what is happening right before their eyes? Do they think this is cool?
It all starts with the parents and then the elementry school teachers but I think a lot of the parents and teachers are just as ignorant as those 7 young people so surviving this is going to take a lot of work. Hopefully Trump can provide the incentive and leadership to lead this country out of this dangerous and discusting mess.
most educated went for trump.
