This article came out earlier this year, but I thought it would be worthwhile to ponder at some of the information gathered about Millennials concerning their views on freedom of speech and basic constitutional rights. It seems that left leaning Millennials are now more embracing of limiting speech, more dismissive about basic constitutional rights, and somehow more accepting of a military coup in the United States then previous generations.

"Roughly half of Millennials have positive feelings about socialism, twice the rate of the previous generation. Indeed, despite talk about a dictatorial Trump and his deplorables, the Democratic-leaning Millennials are more likely to embrace limits on free speech and are far less committed to constitutional democracy than their elders. Some 40 percent, notes Pew, favor limiting speech deemed offensive to minorities, well above the 27 percent among the Xers, 24 among the boomers, and only 12 percent among silents. They are also far more likely to be dismissive about basic constitutional civil rights, and are even more accepting of a military coup than previous generations."
I'm a Millennial and I have to admit that my own generation sometimes scares me. With endless indoctrination at universities across the US, Millennials will possibly take revenge against previous generations who they will blame for their economic fortune. Although Millennials, like Gen X before them, have irrefutably been economically shafted, the power that they will wield in ever expanding government jobs will likely lead to ever greater aggression and hostility to those that may think differently than them. So watch out for Millennials!
