And change is coming fast and the old,bitter, uneducated trumptards are reacting accordingly
Older white Americans still hold most of the economic and political power in the US. But the great ethnic diversity of younger generations means that change is coming.
America's workforce, politics and place on the world stage will soon be changed forever.
So great and so rapid are the shifts in the country's population, that, in the coming decade, the US is set to be transformed far more than other nations.
Almost half of millennials and children are from ethnic minority groups and it is this great diversity that is at the heart of demographic changes.
Trump rode into the White House on a wave of support from older white Americans - those over the age of 45.
Many were drawn to his promise of creating a better economy.
But part of Mr Trump's appeal was his stance on growing immigrant populations and political correctness.
His position reflected the fears of some older white people

we live in a two party system.
It doesn't take long seeing the dingbats on the left running things, to scream for the opposition party. Sure, buyers remorse sets in there too, but you are truly an idiot if you think we are moving away from a two party system that maintains somewhat equal electability.
Life wll beat them down soon enough. Most of the problems we have now are due to Summer of Love people putting their clothes back on, giving up the LSD, and growing up to become crabby holier than thou conservatives who only make occasional trips to the airport bathroom for a temporary liberation from the chains that bind them.
According to opinion polls in 2016, around 2-3% of Trump supporters were aged under 30. The GOP, with a few honorable exceptions, made a bad, possibly fatal miscalculation by caving in to Trump.

been there done that.....You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be alright
Alright, alright
You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We're all doing what we can
But if you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell you is brother you have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be alright
Alright, alright, al...
You say you'll change the constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well, you know
You'd better free your mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don't you know know it's gonna be alright
Alright, alright
Alright, alright
Alright, alright
Alright, alright
Alright, alright
45? That actually seems charitable to me.Trump rode into the White House on a wave of support from older white Americans - those over the age of 45.
As often as Trumptards call me a "commie!" a "Bolshevik!", a "Marxist!", as much as they complain about Chappaquiddick, their general archaic lexicon, phrases, and buzzwords, gives me the distinct impression of elderly, angry white dudes who came of age during the 1950s vintage "Red Scare".
I mean, really their average age strikes me as around 79...or even older!

Aren't the "Trump tards" of today the old '60's hippies who were going to change the world as well? Funny you Boomers spent so much time tripping balls and now call each other stupid. Step aside for the good of the country and let Gen Xers run sh*t.

The times they are a changin'.
We have the intellect to imagine the finality of our own demise but do not have the sophistication to overcome our survival instinct and accept it.
Solution? Magical thinking and childish promises of everlasting life.
Ergo, religion.
rac·ist
rāsəst/noun
a person who believes that a particular race is superior to another.
Ask yourself honestly if this describes what you believe to be true.
If the answer is yes, you are a racist.

The idea that the youth who are biting into Tide pods and snorting condoms will someday be running this country should make us laugh nervously.

We already have a multi racial multicultural America, and it will be the same experience as every other generation forever. You can pretend to #Resist all your life, but when you have taxes to pay, insurance premiums, mortgages, car payments, kids to cloth and feed, and hold down a job, your resistance becomes a lot more self-interested and short-term. That, of course, assumes, that they don't die from eating Tide Pods.
