You speak of the Millennials as if you have some sort of hold over them when the reality is that you don't anymore of a hold over them than you have over me at this point. What you have are the Millennial tribes associated with Left Wing identity politics and the quasi socialist believers/supporters and they've pretty much cornered themselves and cut themselves off from the rest of the American Millennials today. As far as America, America has been free for about 240 years and I don't expect that to change in my lifetime or the American Millennials lifetime either. If it takes another American civil war to prove it then so be it.

How many Millennials do you actually know?  I can say that I know many.  Of that 'many', most find politics repugnant, and are making a decision to move on alone, or in tandem with others in their respective cohorts.  To a large extent, it's the reason they have been unwilling to take jobs they hate and do work they find unacceptable.  They seem willing to have less to be freer, and free includes being free of people like you ... and me, for that matter.  Don't count on then being allies.

I know a lot of them. Let's see, pretty much all my nieces and nephews and the bulk of the kids (all present day adults) associated with people/ parents my age (friends, family members, coworkers and so forth) and all the kids who grew up in the neighborhood are Millennials. I bet I know as many of them if not more of them than you do these days.

Possible explanations, as I do not know the community in which you live:

1. You live in a changing era, one whose rural character is disappearing and in which life is getting more crowded, with heavier traffic, the squeezing-out of mom-and-pop businesses in favor of chains and such retailing entities as Walgreen's, Rite-Aid, CVS,
s Target, Costco, and Wal-Mart. If you don't have to live with poverty, rural life is far less stressful.

2. You live in a monocultural area in which the biggest divide is between Catholics and Protestants in culture. Such places tend to be much more politically conservative than others in which diversity exists.

3. You are as expressive of your cranky (and that is the most charitable way to describe them) in personal life as here. Everybody knows that you are an arch-reactionary devoid of any nuance and wisely tells you exactly what you want to believe to avoid your ire. You might have all sorts of right-wing banners "Trump won and you know it", F--K BIDEN", a rattlesnake flag, and a "Blue Lives Matter" banner that tell a liberal to talk only about things devoid of political import. Even in sports people know enough to not mention Colin Kaepernick.

I may have missed something.

I live in a rather large ( square mile wise) 2nd tier suburban community with a population of about 42,000 people today. Population wise, it's pretty diverse ( lots of whites, quite a few blacks and a lot of browns and there isn't an ongoing squabble between Protestants and Catholics and there hasn't really been one during my lifetime either. The vast majority are working people who either own homes ( mansions, McMansions, typical residential homes, condo's, town homes and trailer houses ) or rent apartments. A relatively small portion live in federally subsidized housing projects or section 8 apartments or apartment complexes and public housing mainly funded by the state/county. I don't have any of the stuff  (right wing banners or bumper stickers that you claimed. Go figure, you are wrong about me once again. At what point do you give on stereotypes or are stereotypes the only thing you know about Republican voters today? You better start figuring it out soon because you're losing more of the country as we speak. So, how reliant are you upon the country these days? What's going to happen to you when 2/3 of the country says good bye and good riddance? Like I've said, you've got a few years to figure it out if you're lucky but that's about it.

You are right. The country is going your way. I don't think there's anything worth saving in America at this point. Any country that prefers Trump over Biden is over the edge and totally sick. You seem to think we are concerned about what will happen to us personally-- which you guys will do to us. What does it matter? The whole of humanity is going down the drain. What difference does it make if a few liberals like us survive or not. We are ALL going down, thanks to you guys.
