(12,720 posts)In every generation there's approximately 20% actively progressive, 20% actively "conservative" and 60% opportunistic depending on whichever philosophy will allow them to live with the least amount of hassle.
Growing up in the 60's, I learned for every civil rights activist, there was a John Bircher fighting to keep the WASP status quo. And three moderates who pretty much stood by and watched until public opinion declared a winner, then went through the motions of support because they were too busy living and working for today to really care about thinking about a future.
For every David Hogg, there's a Charlie Kirk, along with three Zoomers more interested on the latest Balder's Gate, how to get into college or pay the rent than the actual climate change policies of who might be running for House Representative next.
