Yes. Like all generations before and after them. Their time is now and their time will pass just as quickly as it did for everyone else in that position.
The revolutionaries ruined the country by creating a central government to replace the one they overthrew. One of the first official acts of the new government was to enact a tax exactly like the one that sparked the rebellion: a tax on whiskey, only paid by a few hillbillies. Of course they refused to pay, and George Washington personally led the army there to collect the tax at gunpoint. Google "whiskey rebellion" for the full story. The descendants of those people still remember the event as if it happened last week.
The point is that people have not changed. They demand a central government to take over all their responsibilities and they don't ever want them back. They give the government all authority, and when agents abuse it, they give more money to hire more agents and hope their officials "do something" about the abuses. The failure we observe now is a basic part of human nature. A bazillion years ago the Hebrews entered the promised land and God commanded no king, not to be like the nations. After they began to prosper, they demanded a king, to be like the nations. Then, like the nations, they were conquered. The only thing different about millenials is email and cellphones.
