7 Protesters

From an Oregon Resident

While I was getting a coffee, I overheard 7 young people (22-26 years old, 5 males, 2 female) who have been protesting in downtown Portland the last two nights.

I told them I was doing research and asked nicely if they would answer some questions. They were cool with it, so I sat down and went for it.

Three v**ed. Of the four who didn't, none was registered to v**e.

None of them researched independently either candidate.

All were for Hillary but preferred Bernie.

I asked "Why the Democratic Candidate?"

· "More things are taken care of."

· "Time to have a woman President."

· "Democrats aren't sexist or r****t."

Six of them live at home.

All are under their parents insurance.

As a practical matter, there really is no more "country". We've become more like Europe's western annex, but with money.............but not for much longer.

Two have "real" jobs.

Three aren't working, nor are they trying hard to find a job either.

Their parents pay for everything in their life or subsidize it.

Six get money from mom or dad every month.

Two have been on unemployment for 6+ months.

One is at Portland State U, doesn't work, and parents pay for everything.

All 7 said Trump is a r****t/sexist. I asked to cite proof ... "That tape, man!" was the answer

When I asked, as a man myself, “Have you ever said anything like that when you've been h*****g out with your buddies? All five males said "Yes."

I asked "Would you say it if you knew you were on tape?" All five answered "No."

"What's the difference?" I asked. “You've all said bad stuff like that. Does that mean you h**e women and are a sexual predator?" Nothing. No answer.

None could tell me how our government works ... they didn't know how laws are passed, how the House of Representatives or the Senate work.

None could explain how a bill is passed.

Only one could tell me the difference between legal and i*****l i*********n. One of them said, "Legal immigration is when you immigrate legally." Seriously.

None could explain the purpose of the E*******l College or how it works.

In 10 minutes they felt they had explained everything. Nice kids ... but so ignorant. I know some awesome, phenomenal young adults; but I'm afraid the majority are like these seven. Too many participation trophies, too much coddling by parents and teachers.

In 1944 18 year-olds stormed the beach at Normandy into almost certain death.

In 2016 18-year-olds feel unsafe because words hurt their feelings.

Our country is in deep sh**!
