It's where Hollister becomes immature and is replaced by Ralph Lauren shirts. It's where it's cool for guys to where short shorts. Wearing a suit and tie? Why not top it off with a visor that looks like its been ran through your ass. It's where prom queens get pregnant, drop out, and nerds rise up. Ladies and gentlemen...
WELCOME TO COLLEGE.
Have Republicans lost their cutting edge with these kids? How out of touch are they with young voters? God forbid you're a single conservative dude on a college campus. If so...join Netflix and give your right hand a name. It's tough. Why? The GOP is out of touch and being liberal is a hip trend.
The college phase of life is an in between stage between childhood and the real world. Most students have never owned a house, held a real job, nor payed a bill. They feed off mom and dads wallet. It's not how it will always be, but it's how it is now. So during that in between stage...a political party that prides itself on spreading the wealth, taxing the hell out of wealthy who have busted their asses, and making it rain for everyone else...they can relate to it.
The liberal trend is also a fire fueled by celebrities. How do celebrities live? They live it up. Money is not a burden for them! So, a politcal party that spends spends spends and spends more...yeah, they can relate to that too. They aren't in the real world. The only difference - America can't join a cast of D list celebrities on a VH1 reality show just to pay bills once its wad has been blown.
Young voters view Republicans like their parents:
"SAVE YOUR MONEY!"
"WORK HARD!"
"WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WHEN MOM AND DAD AREN'T HERE FOR YOU?"
Don't worry about it kids. President Obama will take care of you. So, go to Urban Outfitters and get your Obama t-shirt that was made in China, open your hands and say "give me more." It's the new American dream...
