Wow, a news story that makes me think my kid could actually live in a better political climate than me in a few decades. I forgot what this feeling was like.
Bro, I’ll tell you the same thing I was told as a young guy in my career. I’m in my 40’s now and this was about 20 years ago. An older guy about to retire said something like ‘ya know, everyone always says that the younger generation is lazy, or dumb, but from what I noticed you guys are doing it smarter and you’ll be better than us.’ I kinda thought that, but it was nice to hear.
Now I’ll say about 10 years ago, I was recruiting in high school and those kids were leaps and bounds ahead of where my generation was. It was crazy how much they could socialize across cliques and it not matter. Now that I am in my 40’s I have some family members in high school, and I just see them being better. I don’t know how this will translate into the work force or a fight for a labor reform, but I think we need to be more open to their ideas than our elder generations were to us.
Exactly! Even if it makes us uncomfortable. I can’t relate to gen z, but I’m sure anyone from any other time in history would be unable to relate to me.
That doesn’t matter. It isn’t my world. I’m only here for a time. It’s our world.
Whatever direction society takes has my support as long as they aren’t imposing themselves on other people.
Freedom is beautiful even when I can’t understand or relate the ways people use their freedoms. I’ll vote for freedom no matter how I feel about things or how much I long for the comfortable world of my youth. I don’t matter. Civilization matters. Freedom matters.
I am right there with you. I didn’t understand Vine, I don’t get all these Tiktok challenges. The short repetitive nature is bothersome to me which is funny when I think about the number of times I replayed old Atari and NES games growing up. The point, though, is I don’t need to understand it. Just accept that it’s something they like to do and move on.
Yeah, I think the generation currently entering adulthood is seeing enough bullshit that they might do a great job leading this country, as long as they get a chance.
Why do you think the GQP is panicing. Demographics are changing and they can’t rely on old white male voters to shift the tide because they’re all dying. Covid put a dent in them too.

That’s the kind of optimism we need.
