You put it in derisory terms - the Idealists brainwash the Civics - but it could also be described as giving them their vision (via the memes...) which they then act upon as a united front. It's just that there are two fronts and there is conflict in the streets.

I'm not disagreeing that there is a constellation; that's basic to generational theories discussed here.  I'm disagreeing with the idea that there are two separate constellations, one Red and one Blue.  The fundamental grievances of the Millennials have nothing to do with the Red v Blue arguments.  Of course, that makes it difficult for the Millennials to express them, since Boomers are all about Red v Blue arguments.

But I do see that some Millennials are heeding the call of their elders to take a particular side in the Red v Blue argument. I'm thinking of the more fervent participants in street unrest, like the 17 year old who showed up in Michigan with a rifle to do battle with the protesters. And if most Millennials need some vision that goes beyond the Red v Blue, is there any Prophet providing it? I can't think of one.

That 17-yearold is now a cult hero to the Proud Boys, among other cults.   It's a self-perpetuating cycle that can lead to real violence given the wrong actor in the wrong place at the wrong time.  

This guy is just a poster boy for reckless behavior so far, but he is still awaiting legal action. Let's see where that takes us when it happens.  If he walks, the rules are no longer in force.
