I’m not convinced the changing demographics are going to change much in the way of electoral outcomes. It could just as easily be that conservatism is just a function of age, and GenX-ers will be voting more or less the same as the boomers did.
I’d love to be proven wrong on this.
That’s still important. GenX is smaller than the boomers or millennials.
If millennials and young men continue supporting maga and Trump’s party as they did last election, it won’t help much if Boomers expire.
Boomers also surprisingly voted slightly less for Trump than previous elections, his coalition in 24 expanded a bit to Hispanics and young men etc. he won due to inflation and covid imo, and probably due to sexism and only 107 days for Kamala to campaign (thanks Biden).
It's hard to see how he can hold onto the anti inflation vote, given what he's done since them. Maybe the Republicans can gin up another covid.
