The Not So Nice Implications of Blue Millennials

Why an overwhelming democratic demographic of millennials is not a victory.

The numbers came in. The Democrats may have lost an election cycle, but they celebrated when they saw the future. Millennials are almost universally voting Democrat.

Let’s go ahead and assume this is true. There has been controversy over it, but I won’t address it here. This means that liberals are fighting the wrong enemy on the college campus. If you want me to be more specific, here’s a couple of things it entails:

1. The campus rape culture liberals rail against is statistically perpetuated by other liberals.

2. Mass shootings and gun violence committed by mostly young men are statistically more likely to be liberal.

3. The vandalism all too common to “peaceful protests” is perpetrated by liberals.

4.This is not a time for celebration. This ought to be a wake-up call.

My liberal friends, you’re fighting the wrong enemy if you believe conservatives are to blame for the pain millennials inflict on each other.

5. Perhaps your consent classes should have more characters with vibrantly colored hair and ear gauges instead of being clean-cut.

If you want to keep your image of diversity, I would also include people of same-sex attraction and more non-white characters.

6. Perhaps you should come clean about the political alignment of the shooters before you start twitter hashtags.

Maybe you should be more honest in your journalism about where the shootings take place. Projecting the problems you have with your own people who don’t understand guns and have no respect for them on people who grow up in a culture of guns who understand them inside and out is tiresome.


My conservative friends, if you have complaints about millennials, your complains are as much against the product of liberalism as it is against the individual you’re complaining about. I encourage you to attack the policies and ideas that motivate millennials rather than attacking the individual.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
