Some of you are in for a huge shock as you learn what the Republican strategists have been trying to tell you about demographics. There may be only two places in which old white males are the majority: sports message boards and bars. The rest of the world is passing you by.
A couple of facts which you will ignore, and I don't really care. Like nature, facts occur whether you like them or not. The Silent Generation is the last Republican generation, about 53-45. But, it is down to about 8-9% of the population and dying off rapidly (born prior to the end of WWII). The Baby Boomers are slightly Democratic, about 48-46%, but somewhat fluid. Generation X is about 48-43% Democratic (about 40-55 years old). They are slightly less numerous than the Boomers, but the Boomers are getting up there in age (born after WWII).
Then, there is this group that is about 24-39 years old, the same age as most of the freshmen congressmen. They tend to be about 59-32% Democratic. I don't know that we have ever had such a generation shift. They are the reason that 9 million more Democrats than Republicans voted in 2018. As large as the Boomers, and they are now voting.
Some of you think you have insulated your idealism with the courts. You changed all the rules to get it done. But, the removal of judges does not require impeachment (read the constitution). I suspect that the Millennials will simply dismiss a lot of them. They have very little respect for tradition since it seems to have been whatever someone says it is. A majority reject capitalism. Shocked? They are not interested in religion. They are interested in science, and they are absolute believers in diversity. That 27% margin will dominate.
Oh. I think you will find that the upcoming Generation Z, the oldest of whom will be 24 in 2020, are very similar to the Millennials, perhaps more focused. Incidentally, there may be as many Generation Z voters as Silent Generation voters in 2020.
You don't have to believe it or like it. I could care less. I have no interest in discussions in a bar or with old white males. I'm more interested in helping these kids prepare for the reality of tomorrow while you remain in your dreamworlds.
