With all due respect I don’t believe you’re in tune with what college students are feeling. —- a college student

  maybe you're the exception to the norm, or maybe I am out of touch. When I was in college (in the last decade), everyone gave democrats a free pass to do whatever they wanted. I have heard that gen-z leans more libertarian though

    A saying normally attributed to Churchill: "If you are not a liberal in your twenties you have no heart, if you are not a conservative in your thirties you have no brain".

      It is older than Churchill and the parties are switched up according to current events. https://quoteinvestigator.com/2014/02/24/heart-head/ https://quoteinvestigator.com/2014/02/24/heart-head/ Nowadays, in the US at least, given the significant correlation between education level and Democratic party alignment, it is probably due for another change. Sadly "If you are not a socialist in your twenties you have no heart, if you are not a centrist Democrat in your thirties you have no brain" does not roll off the tongue.

        *correction, if you're not right of center in your twenties you have no heart, if you're not conservative in your 30's, you have no brain. The socialists are pushing for dangerous governance methods that have caused genocide and economic collapse over the 20th century and actively discriminate based on people's gender, ethnicity, and sexual orientation. The "centrist Democrats" stick their heads in the sand ignoring the crimes of the leaders they elect and the influence of the far left progressive wing of the Democratic party.

        I think you'd have to shift the age groups up significantly to say anything useful about conservative leaning people, maybe do mid 40's and 60's or something like that.

        I think we'd all be surprised at how many people actually lean conservative in the 20-40 age group. My hunch is that 9/10 people who lean that way stay silent for fear of professional/personal repercussions. Voicing conservative view points in the monolithic tech industry will get you fired and excommunicated

        I don't really see any reason that they'd lie to, for example, Pew polls.
