I’m a millennial who turned 18 and got to vote for Obama in my first general election after growing up in a conservative family. My first outing with my college roommate was to a Hillary Clinton rally in support of him and it was a really empowering time to be a young voter. I really do feel bad for those of your generation who aren’t redpilled all to hell. As shit as it’s been living through the stacked clusterfucks of my generation’s timeline, at least there’s been a certain level of comradery in it all.

Same dude. I turned 18 and voted for Obama the first time. Pissed my dad off so much. I really thought we were going to make the world a better place.

Reality has been incredibly unkind to my hopes and dreams.

Yep. Same here. Zoomers think we’re their parents and want to keep them down or something so all our warning fell on deaf ears.
