    It is important to understand we are not talking about all Youth, just the most persistent noisemakers that set a tone for all others. And with today's WOKE pressures on all thing social and political it is no longer safe to remain silent and certainly not openly oppose or even respect the opinions of others. You still get accused unless you join the latest cause of public outrage whatever the fervent flavor of the moment.

    As for the OP itself I have often said modern Progressives are indeed Winning but they can't seem to explain what it is they think they are winning?

    I need a little more than getting rid of Trump and silencing the opposition with name calling. I need it explained what kind of society is expected to emerge from all this?

    This week I saw a story where they thought it was a big deal that a 19 year old girl in TX was being charged rent by her parents. She moved out within 9 months.

    So in a society where so many kids are given a free ride, don't get part time jobs and then stay home into their 30s, should it surprise anyone that the idea of socialism has grown so fast with the youth. Government is meant to be their new Mom and Dad to take them through the next 60 years of their life.
    I was out too at 17. Army.
