I'm a millennial that started out right of center, and now I say we burn the Constitution and write a Bill of Rights that wasn't drafted by slave owning aristocrats.

Don’t conflate economic and governing systems. They’re not the same thing. Plus, your misplaced wish is being granted by the one person I’m guessing you despise most: Trump. He and the GOP are burning it all down right now. When it’s gone, you’ll lament its loss. Enjoy the tyranny.

Oh I see: you think politics and the economy are two separate things that exist independent of each other and never overlap. Silly goose.

Missed the "And replace it with something better" part of their comment, huh? The assumption- for the hard-of-critical-thinking here- is that this would be done with the intention of fixing problems in it and in a safe, orderly way- not just shredding it for funsies and profit. Hope that helps.

Im a millennial that was raised in small town rural Michigan which is as conservative as you can get and I’m absolutely on board with the creation and passing of massive federal social safety nets. Reconstruction 2.0, republicans are tried at the U.S. version of The Hague, massive wealth tax, etc.

After W I dipped my toe into Libertarianism but I never could get over the fact that that group STILL supports the big guy over the little one EVERY SINGLE TIME. Democratic Socialism or Bust 2028.

Yeah I find it hilarious that I kept getting told I'd be more conservative as I aged. I'm almost 40 and I've only gotten more and more liberal.

It's not just a millennial thing. Gen Xer here who was vice-president of Teen-Age Republicans and spent a half hour with Lee Atwater in 1989... Five years later I was yelling at Newt Gingrich on TV with my bisexual girlfriend. This hard swing to the right is going cause a harder swing to the left
