Will Millennials Become More Conservative?

CALLER: I’m a 30-year-old Millennial. I have my own business. I am a devout Catholic. And I am a conservative. Now, that being said, I know that I am in the minority of my generation. Now, my two questions for you: What’s the future look like? And how outnumbered are we actually, Millennial conservatives?

RUSH: Millennial conservatives, you know, you probably are somewhat outnumbered if you’re gonna compare yourself to a universe of Millennials, universe that is college educated, you’re certainly gonna be outnumbered there. But the thing that a lot of young people don’t know and haven’t lived long enough to know it, is that their attitudes are gonna change as they grow older. You can’t help it, yours too. You can’t help it.

As you live longer, you experience more. And you keep learning. If your mind remains open, you’re gonna continue to learn and experience things. And you’ll modify certain beliefs that you have. So where you might be the minority now, it’s impossible to say that that’s gonna remain constant and static, because we don’t know what events are gonna take place and what effect they’re gonna have on people in terms of unifying what could be a cataclysmic event. It could be any series of small things.

CALLER: Yeah, but as of right now, I mean, what do you think?

… you know, these are tough questions. I’ll tell you why. I’ll tell you why they’re tough, is because, on the one hand, I and a lot of people — I don’t have kids; I know a lot of people that do, who are scared to death of the future simply by watching the news, by watching the portrayal of people on the left, Democrats, and what they are doing to culture, to education and the fact that they have zero tolerance for anybody that doesn’t think like they do.

And that they have now control of much of pop culture, which is media, music, movies, TV shows, and so forth. And all the things that accompany that. And, on the other hand, here this is the United States of America. And it’s not going anywhere. There’s always gonna be an America. What kind of America it’s going to be is the question.

And a lot of people think things are happening today that they haven’t seen happen in their lives, meaning the drift to the left by so many people.

And that drifting leftward incorporates a lot of people who are violent with their intolerance, and they’re making no bones about the fact that they don’t like America, as founded, and they don’t like anybody who’s had anything to do with being the majority in this country since the days of its founding and that those people have become targets and those people are held up as those responsible. They’re blamed for all of the so-called injustices that are being chronicled in America.

Why would you want to tear this country apart? Why would you want to rip it to shreds? Why would you want to blame this country? Why would you want to open the borders of this country and let anybody in, especially those who are not going to assimilate, who are not going to try to become Americans and promote America for what it is? Why do you want to open the borders and let people in who may not like America either and have as their objective to change it or what have you.

And will that prevail? Is that ultimately gonna be our demise?
