The world today is evolving and the generations that have come before mine (I'm a millennial) are extremely dissatisfied with the actions of my generation. Millennials represent change across the nation but are targeted because of the extreme actions of just a few. I have read social media posts written by adults that I have known for my entire life where they bash an entire generation because apparently standing up for what you believe in equates to blatant disrespect. I am generally a person who "plays by the rules" but as my generation is targeted I am becoming more outraged with the backlash to which peaceful protests and a push for change receive from our parents and grandparents. I can admit however that violence is in no way the correct way to spread your agenda, but because protesting exists please get over your assumption that all protesting movements are just "cry baby" or "snowflake" liberal movements.

Hatred in America currently is flowing from the east to west coast; it is driving the nation between liberals and republicans because each side cannot be open minded to the other. I myself am a Democrat, and a millennial; this therefore makes me "A liberal snowflake cry baby" in the words of the famous Tomi Lahren. Apparently, because I agree with the black lives matter movement, the DAPL movement, and gay rights I am ruining this nation. The constitution protects the right to free assembly, and speech but anymore these rights are scrutinized because a handful of activists resort to forms of violence.

Social media, in my opinion, is ruining America NOT the young people of this nation. Those of you who spread false news, and extreme propaganda to your pages are just as responsible as the person doing the same thing, but from an opposing view. I am a millennial but I am not disrespectful, hateful, or violent, I stand up for what I believe in and do not let others influence my opinions. I am also not the only millennial who is a decent human being and would like to say that if you are "hating" my generation STOP. People from all generations and all walks of life are becoming involved with what is happening within the boarders of this nation; my suggestion is that you be optimistic for the future, and to not spread hate for the generation who is making big changes.
