Why do I not meet anyone around my age with conservative values?

[eod8989]

Every person I meet now days and all of my coworkers are liberal and don't have conservative values

Before 2015 almost everyone I met leaned right

[whowaspotential]

Demonized by social media

[DeshaunWatson]

If you don’t share my values, we don’t speak. Lol if I’d be friends with anyone who voted for that progressive nonsense. Losers.

[Skwidward]

My guess?

Trump ruined it for you.

And every red hat was another nail in the coffin for whatever “values” you thought you had.

I am here for u OP. I feel like I am in bizarro world. I am a boomer stuck in millennial body.

[ImBunky]

Where do you live?

Yeah idk what is going on i just don't meet any conservatives or people with conservative attitudes/values anymore like i did before 2015. I honestly don't think the city has any of them anymore. Everyone under 30 is liberal now.

It's been a bizarro world for me since 2015

Conservatives don't let anyone know their views at work in the woke era

[nin-com-poop]

I'll be your network node conservative friend.

Yeah they just stay to themselves. I see a few around but they don't really say much.

[fishnbrah]

i truly rarely ever meet left wing people. but i think they can tell just by looking at me that im right wing af

[stealth_swimmer]

cus culturally more young people are left leaning. In general, most young people are socially tolerant, and a lot of the older conservatives are just quacks, so young people don't wanna be associated with them even if they might be correct about certain things (like fiscal issues)

[NYPat]

OP they're disappearing just like the traditional Republican party is disappearing. They're the Trump party now, and that's toxic as hell.

[JT11RTR]

Conservatives can't broadcast their opinions without getting fired. That's why they don't talk about it at work. We can't take the chance on offending a cross dressing tranny kiddy diddler.

^^this.

Plus, OP, what if I told you Trump won every age bracket with white voters..

Shut the phuck up already.

Boomer millennial checking in. Meet any russian our age and your faith in humanity will be restored (used to work with a bunch).

[MMeadows11]

Most young people realize that just lying about everything and spreading racist hatred is no good, so they dislike Drumpfh.

That makes them less inclined to consider any of the conservative values that are good.



Also; there aren't really that many true conservatives left. They've all sold out for a lying, adulterous, traitor con man. It's hard for them to do that and then claim to have any "values" at all.

[Darkius]

Everyone I know who is my age or younger would want Bernie Sanders to be president, it seems. Or conservatives are so scared they claim that.

The older generations come out and claim to be conservative, but not all of them.

Still, the area where I live voted strongly for Trump.

[DoYouEvenNEM]

How much of the "swamp" did Trump drain?

Conservative = Conserve the status quo. When I feel like a lot of Americans want something reactionary which no political party is interested in doing.

[gtrzrus]

I myself was liberal minded in my youth. You know what they say, with age comes wisdom.

Consider yourself high IQ Opie.

[jofedm]

Cause you wrote this on an iPhone. “The way it used to be” doesn’t work when your <30. People usually dig their heals in the sand at some point. Conservatism is about slow/no change but how does that work when the world is changing faster than ever?

[EasternHammer]

It all depends where you live. Back in 2016 I was still teaching and my high school was strongly pro-Trump. We had students coming in with MAGA hats, pickup trucks with flags waving, Trump t-shirts everywhere you could see. Not that high school students know **** about anything whether they are liberal or conservative, but young conservatives do exist.

Conservatives today need to stay underground, keep quiet about their beliefs. Just take a look at the way the democrats are trying to kick people out of their jobs and make them ineligible for work simply for holding conservative views. It's dangerous to be open about being a conservative these days due to the demonizing and witch hunting on the left.

As a conservative you can't even say anything at places because someone will get mad because of toxic masculinity, take offense to a joke etc

It's happened to me a bunch of times that's why i don't talk to anyone

What you'll notice more and more as you get older is that the majority of the population is mediocre at best human beings (many are just flat out scum)

There's a reason people are often compared to sheep


Don't be a sheep, think for yourself. Even if you're constantly surrounded by sheep, don't lower your standards to fit in (because who tf wants to be a sheep)


It sucks for a while but once you finally find like minded/competent people you will be glad that you never through away your integrity to become a sheep
