Forget 2020! Snowflakes Are The Future

Depending on your age, you are old enough to witness parents raising their children the wrong way; no matter what the child wanted, they got. If they did something bad, it was completely excused away as part of the “growing-up” process. The child never had to work, and everything was bought for them: Cars and related expenses, spending money, clothes, game systems, Smart Phones… Everything.

College is completely paid for by the parents. Only the best! And it takes those students closer to six years to receive a degree. (Hey, who doesn’t want their college days to last forever?) But a lot of those young adults, who I know, received degrees in fields which aren’t employer friendly: Art, French, History, etc.

Some take an alternative path: Drop-out after four or five years with no degree. The parents aren’t upset; instead, they are quick to point-out their kid is so smart, he doesn’t need a degree or his happiness is all that matters.

I’ve seen this just as often with Conservative parents. 

And now their first job after college is literally their first job. What a shock! 40 hours in the same place being told what to do. But the parents are still very much involved. When anything in life goes wrong for these kids – now adults – the parents are still there to bail them out: Quick to agree the company wasn’t right, the boss was mean and reassure their child, they are very special.  These “kids” are labeled Snowflakes.

Don’t believe me? Ask your friends who own a business or supervise a large number of employees. They will relate plenty of Snowflake stories.

Though the phrase “snowflakes” is relatively new, their existence is not. In the past, they were called spoiled, lazy, worthless, brats, etc. I know individuals between the ages of 18 to 70 who have never learned the value of work or money and blame others for their failures.

Society likes blaming the schools for the creation of these young adults. Yes, we certainly have a problem with our educational system, but it isn’t textbooks or teachers who are churning out these empty shells; this problem has existed forever.

It is the parents: Morals, work ethic, life lessons, all start at home. Every child goes through the educational system – not every child turns-out to be worthless.  The lack of discipline and other lessons lost, last a lifetime.

Is it no wonder we are seeing such a rise in the Far-Left Ideology? These Snowflakes are destined to become Liberals because today’s Liberals like Socialist programs: Meaning Free Everything, just like they received growing up. Alas, spending someone else’s money is always easier.

Through my business, I’ve learned Snowflakes don’t like successful people, respect very little, and do not like America; they don’t realize it takes many years of hard work to get anywhere near the American Dream. They want the trappings which come with wealth but not the sacrifices. This causes jealousy. They desire those material items, and if they can’t have them, why should others?

This is the perfect group for the Anti-American organizations to recruit from. Black Lives Matter (BLM) doesn’t care what color you are – as long as you will riot, loot and destroy for them. Police arrests associated with rioting clearly back this narrative.

Very ironic considering BLM is an organization who considers any African-American shot by the police, a victim. If the victim fights the cop, the police officer is at fault. If the victim shoots at cops, the police are wrong for shooting back. The organization only covers African-American victims. But they need rioters and the ideology of Snowflakes fits the bill.

Another group hard at work creating chaos is ANTIFA. An organization consisting of individuals who have a wide range of views, but they can agree on one point: The fundamental destruction of America. The core group doesn’t have the numbers to carry-out attacks across America simultaneously. Fortunately, there are enough Snowflakes to go around.

The Blue States handle rioters with kid gloves. If the Snowflakes had been shot with rubber bullets, tear gassed, arrested and then incarcerated, would their views have melted away? It isn’t as if they were raised on America’s Mean Streets!

Everyone talks a lot about the upcoming Presidential Election. Though the outcome is about keeping us from moving extremely Far Left, we are by no means out-of-the-woods.  As the Snowflakes grow in number, the Radical Element is gaining members and support making our future grim – just delaying America’s downfall.

Yes, it is imperative we tackle the educational system. Starting with the ideology of textbooks, but more importantly, as parents, we need to spend more time parenting. We need to get back to the basics and instill the right values in our kids. And it is never too late to be a parent.

Show them the Liberal agenda: Eliminating Bail / Prisons, Defunding Police and the New Green Deal (abolishing planes and cars) is a solid start. Have them investigate more on their own. Be there to answer questions and encourage open debate. As they gain life experience, see the Liberal policy ramifications and learn more from you, it is a step in the right direction.

If we don’t, we only have ourselves to blame. Remember what President Ronald Reagan said:

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream.  It must be fought for, protected, and handed on to them to do the same.

Do your Part. Make a Difference.
