Personally I think it has more to do with the political conditions we& #39;ve grown up in. Millennials have basically never seen a fair labor market, a functioning Congress or a sane Republican Party. https://twitter.com/danielleseering/status/1386319243516448769">https://twitter.com/danielles...
I& #39;m always struck by how many parents& #39; idea of "normal" political conditions are those of the & #39;60s and & #39;70s, when there was a lot more compromise (and a lot less filibuster). They keep thinking that America can return to those conditions even though they& #39;re half a century old.
Millennials voted in large numbers for the first time in 2004. We& #39;ve only experienced a post-Bush political landscape of scorched earth bad faith and culture war.
We& #39;re not trying to return politics to some remembered default. We& #39;re trying to fix the ways our parents broke it.

This is also *extremely* important. https://twitter.com/stahlscott/status/1386322800118353929">https://twitter.com/stahlscot...
One thing the study notes is that growing up during the depression and the New Deal actually pushed the Greatest Generation to the left. That acted as a check on the more conservative Silent Generation but now the Greatests are mostly gone. https://twitter.com/aecwilfong/status/1386321504175075329">https://twitter.com/aecwilfon...
This definitely plays a role, though white millennials are more progressive than their parents too. Silents are around 80% white, millennials are 60% white. https://twitter.com/GirlWhoWhirls/status/1386322173275504651">https://twitter.com/GirlWhoWh...
