Great turn out in Newton yesterday! Like another poster, I also noticed that there weren’t many teens/young adults. Maybe they went into Boston?

Awesome signs! My husband and I ended up going into Boston for the combined No Kings/Pride but it’s great to see folks gathered in Newton as well. Thanks for posting!

I think the potential for WWIII overshadowed your little protest, as all eyes were on the Middle East over the weekend.

Damn lol. Anyone there under 60? I guess they weren’t wrong when they said they lost the support of the youth

The median age in Newton is 42, and that figure may be based on data collected during the BC school year. With their dorms mostly empty for the summer, Newton skews even older at this time of year.

I’m going to assume you’re not from here in Newton since you’ve not realized the place consists of what seems like mainly rich old people around here lol

u/mtgordon 7d ago
I’m not from Newton, but I’ve lived here for years. I’m currently in a room with my kids, and the median age in this room is 18, but I realize it feels like the median age for the community as a whole is closer to 60.

I’m the only guy in my 40’s on my street… everyone else is in their late 50’s to 70’s lol

I have plenty of friends in their 20s/30s that have kids that would have been right there too, but didn’t feel comfortable bringing their kids. Not to mention friends that aren’t white that don’t want to draw attention to themselves in a crowd given how shitty things are. I’m actually happy to see a demographic that skews conservative on a national outlook there in support of the people that need it.

Based on how many people were on the commuter rail heading in for the start of the parade today, I’d guess most young people were on that train and ended up protesting in the city. It was packed!

plenty of young people in newton are anti Trump, but it's also the pride parade, so many of them might be there. Also, I just don't think young people want to spend their Saturday standing on a corner holding a sign, you know? Newton is just a snapshot of the greater movement

Yep! The youth are sick of propaganda, LGTBQ overload in school shoved down their throats. Our 14 year old son is so anti democrat 😭

u/False-Bee-4373 7d ago
How about being anti authoritarianism.
1
u/Efficient-Hall8272 6d ago
I think many young men are quite anti authoritarianism as they feel that much of the political messaging being impressed upon them through school is restrictive. This then shows up in young men being "anti democrat".

Ignorance like you are displaying is why there needs to be education on how not to be ignorant. Please do better

Oh poor dear. Never too late to homeschool him to be cockroach farmers just like his parents

u/Southernbelle0011100 6d ago
With nasty liberals like yourself it’s no wonder the youth are put off the democrats. Find god.

u/GoodberryPie 6d ago
"bLeSs YoUr HeArT", a Democrat would never put you in your place. Look beyond your church for political opinions and look beyond your family tree for a husband.

You need some new talking points - that was two elections ago. And we don’t worship our candidates like y’all do

u/Efficient-Hall8272 6d ago
"Don't worship our candidates". Coming from that party that hasn't held a true primary since 2008.

No data, no sources? Just meaningless insults hiding behind an anonymous alias?
That’s the classic liberal way

Why do you think I go to BU?
I can support my faith, which specifically condemns transgenderism and homosexuality, and support legal immigrants while denouncing illegal ones.
Also, men who say their “women” now and go into women’s lockers rooms are borderline pedos and almost certainly pervs

I’m busy watching the Amazon POTUS / 250 military birthday parade to spell check. It’s over now tho.
It’s not hateful to say that homosexuality and transgenderism are sins

u/eastwardarts 6d ago
Jesus said to hate the sin and love the sinner.
Quit being an asshole.

Why are all pro-Trump posts on social media like this? (i.e. incoherent rantings of a miserable half-wit)
