> "At that particular time [in the paper], however, young people were especially unlikely to identify as Republicans or conservatives because of the short-term effects of the Vietnam War and the Watergate scandal. If we exclude the 1970s from the analysis, it looks by my reading of the tables and figures as if the political attitudes of the young have remained fairly stable over time, and in some respects they have liberalized somewhat," Hopkins said about the new paper.
The idea that millennials are opposed to the ACA is a particularly misleading take. I suspect if you dig into why millennials claim to oppose the ACA, it'll largely be because the ACA is perceived as not liberal enough relative to universal health care systems.
