The youth won't save us. There's millions of people who grew up in conservative households believing that killing brown people is the (only) American Way.
And even so, lots of guys from the sticks who wound up in Iraq and Afghanistan signed up to the military in order to get a free ride, not because they had any particular ideological motivation other than having no opportunity in wherever it was they came from.
They got a free ride, alright. Straight out into the goddamned desert.
Valid point, my intention was to highlight that the younger generation is generally more self-focused and has better access to the information (if they seek it). Be that a good or bad thing, with enlistment numbers dwindling, I presume it has more to do with better access to information and self preservation dwarfing the maga need to eliminate 'non-whites'.
