Not likely. Millennials aren't undergoing conservatisation with age. We'll likely be the first generation to leave the country better than we found it since the silent generation.
There are historical reasons for why this is, too: the looting of the public realm in the 80s was designed to make working class people (largely boomers) think like conservatives by giving them a chance to "win" from their capital (especially houses) rather than their labour. Once you sell this stuff off, there's nothing left to bribe the next generation with, and here we are.
I'm sure we will make some mistakes, but we simply don't have the opportunity to do as badly as the current boomers are doing.
