the poor millennials, or snowflakes as anne coulter calls 'em, have had a pretty stiff dose of reality lately to which they have not reacted well. so, a more prudent and far nicer person than myself would hesitate to feed them another fact of life, but i jump in where only the malevolent dare go.
i think it high time that the tender little dears learn what a "useful idiot" is.
i suggest they lay in a gallon of chocolate milk and a big five pound bag of ginger snaps, get a nice comfy stuffed chair with big stuffed arms, a nice blankie, maybe the one they slept in, and maybe have they mama's tuck it in under their little double chins, and read "american gods" by neil gaiman.
just read and nap, and snuggle in where it is warm, like the womb's they so reluctantly departed, and to which they so desperately cling. and, let the book carry them, being careful not to think too much, which is a talent they have nurtured as they have been nurtured.
and, see if they recognize anyone, when they put the book down. you know, such as themselves.

p.s. i attached a thumbnail of a baby's first experience with raspberries. sort of like a baby's first experience w/ politics, in its own little way.
