Millennial Leaders

"Research has shown that people’s experiences in early adulthood have the greatest impact on their lifelong political leanings, and Millennials, for the most part, have experienced an America riven by inequality, endless wars, a financial collapse, a student debt crisis, and inertia in the face of climate change. All that has made them distinctly more liberal than their elders. "

So why does that make them liberal?  You could say that all those things would make them strive for liberty for all, don't trust Democrats on economic issues that WANTED a 'Great' Recession and whose policies extended it, stop gov't subsidies of college that is driving the education costs into the stratosphere, and drop all the climate change nonsense that is all clearly a scam.  Their experience with President Droney McPeacePrize should inform them of what didn't work.

Nice personable guy, that Droney, but his policies were awful.  After making the country's health coverage SO MUCH WORSE than it was (it wasn't great before, but it wasn't this bad) I have no idea why we'd ever trust his party to touch that issue again. 

Why does Time magazine just conclude that Millennial leaders just want to double down on all that stupid?  Why does the Millennial arc have to curve toward the nightmare of socialism and not the other way to freedom?
