"Millennial voters are replacing boomers each year. For every 1.25 boomers that die, 1 millennial voter comes to voting age. Or roughly around that. The scales will tilt."


It doesn't matter. I will be happy to take care of that generation through increased taxes. I'm a gen'xer and I hope you will be willing to support my age group as we near our dying off phase.
*edit * Sorry Taj, I added "through increased taxes" after your like.

I'm gen x as well. It's not millennials that will be supporting us. It will be my kids. The generation after millennials.

I think it will be a combo, as things gain traction and our interpretation of what the 2A means changes.

What will be more disgusting is watching the Trump fluffers turn on these kids too. It’s already happening in some areas. Accusations they are being manipulated by the likes of Soros etc... they couldn’t possibly be this bright and organized on their own.

At this risk of quoting myself... this was this morning on CNN. Conservatives are just so damn predictable.

I think anytime you have fairly young folks used as pawns in political battles it's pretty sad.

Agree. The GOP and NRA should stop tag-teaming on our children and use them as their murder pawns to defend their freedumb tree. I'm rather sick of it, and sad that this gets you all hot and bothered when more kids die.

There's already a smear cmapaign against the kids:

PS: I appreciate the fact that Gateway Pundit has press credentials at the White House.

That's just par for the course. Any sort of popular progressive movement that springs out of grassroots needs to be explained as a liberal conspiracy, lest any right wing nutters start to notice that they are in the minority.

Women's March? Soros! #MeToo? These scorned women be lying--wait for our PV op to expose the truth about how they were paid for their stories! High schoolers angry over their dead classmates? Shills for the FBI and the liberal media!

The funny (sad?) thing is that right wingers are often more guilty of the conspiracy charges they level at progressives. Remember the "Tea Party" movement? Just a natural uprising against Obama's healthcare tyranny, right?

Nope. Started by a conservative media operator. Coordinated via a secret conference calls by conservative activists and donors. Eventually coopted by Americans For Prosperity (Koch brothers.) They primarily protested TARP, bailouts, and other programs meant to stabilize the economy (remember the debt ceiling crisis?) Then shifted to Obamacare and government spending in general. Disappeared like a fart in the wind now that Trumpism is running up deficits and debt.

We're learning though, and it doesn't bother me one bit. Since Citizens United, all bets are off.

It was just a post & run, he won’t be back.

Not quite. I don't have nothing else to do but spend all of my time online being a douche.

How about enforcing no weapons for felons. I know a couple of felons that deer hunt. Our licensing system is all computerised, how hard is it to cross reference registered felons?
