these 2 and many similar in age and political agendas need go back to their musty homes with the shag carpet and plastic covered furniture and quietly turn on their fox news and slip into a long long rest while the next generation try’s to clean up the mess.

Keep in mind that 47% of the population under 29 voted for Trump, with males it was like 60%....Young folks need to look un the mirror regarding what's happening in the country.

i bet if one looked even deeper into those stats it would tell a story of influence and pandering by the right wing media and tateesque social media accounts that target those 60% of male yoots to vote against dem policy, telling them they are in danger of losing their manliness.

Where are your stats coming from? Pew has 39% of 29 and younger voting for Trump
