      I hate to say I was one of these voters. I grew up in a christian house and was home-schooled. When I started voting my folks just told me to pick an R for everything. It took a couple of years to realize what a bullshit take that was.

      I’m glad I got out, but there are a LOT of people that don’t and they go on to perpetuate that ideology.

      Some young voters are also legitimately conservative. Hand waving away people’s beliefs is one of the reasons we ended up with Trump in the first place.

      The upper end of the millennial range is 44. I really hope they aren’t still listening to their boomer/X parents.
