Young People Are Hostile to Republicans


Speaking of that coming new Progressive Era, liberal days are indeed on the horizon. This will surprise only the GOP Bubble Boys.

Young people loathe and despise the Republican Party of intolerant old conservative white strict daddies, according to a new Democracy Corps/Greenberg Quinlan Rosner survey [pdf].

And it appears that young people are going to continue to loathe and despise all that the dead white men's party stands for even when young people become not so young.

"Young people react with hostility to the Republicans on almost every measure and Republicans and younger voters disagree on almost every major issue of the day."

". . [T]he disconnect we see between the Republicans and our nation’s youth runs so deep, that it likely will not only outlive the Bush administration, but potentially haunt the Republicans for many years to come."
