Gallup: Young people more likely to align with Democratic Party

UPI ^ | March 28, 2014

Generally, young people are lazy, need taken care of, irresponsible, devoid of life experiences, no common sense, and usually have no problem taking other peoples money.

I can’t figure out why they vote Democrat!

[gusopol3]

The real problem was the 19th (:

[VRWC For Truth]

Educational brainwashing.

That was the effect that JFK was looking for in the his legislation that was passed after his death, in 1965, to replace the American WASP voters with Catholics and non-WASPs.

JFK (and the left) wanted to import democrat voters to replace Protestants, who had only voted democrat twice before JFKs death, 1932 and 1936, and a group who has only voted democrat once since his death, that was in 1964.

Well, you people are particularly stupid and ignorant.

Furthermore, there is no reason for anyone to align with the GOP.

The non-Hispanic white population is projected to peak in 2024, at 199.6 million, up from 197.8 million in 2012. Unlike other race or ethnic groups, however, its population is projected to slowly decrease, falling by nearly 20.6 million from 2024 to 2060.

Meanwhile, the Hispanic population would more than double, from 53.3 million in 2012 to 128.8 million in 2060. Consequently, by the end of the period, nearly one in three U.S. residents would be Hispanic, up from about one in six today.

The black population is expected to increase from 41.2 million to 61.8 million over the same period. Its share of the total population would rise slightly, from 13.1 percent in 2012 to 14.7 percent in 2060.

The Asian population is projected to more than double, from 15.9 million in 2012 to 34.4 million in 2060, with its share of nation's total population climbing from 5.1 percent to 8.2 percent in the same period.

The U.S. is projected to become a majority-minority nation for the first time in 2043. While the non-Hispanic white population will remain the largest single group, no group will make up a majority.

All in all, minorities, now 37 percent of the U.S. population, are projected to comprise 57 percent of the population in 2060. (Minorities consist of all but the single-race, non-Hispanic white population.) The total minority population would more than double, from 116.2 million to 241.3 million over the period.

Projections show the older population would continue to be predominately non-Hispanic white, while younger ages are increasingly minority. Of those age 65 and older in 2060, 56.0 percent are expected to be non-Hispanic white, 21.2 percent Hispanic and 12.5 percent non-Hispanic black. In contrast, while 52.7 percent of those younger than 18 were non-Hispanic white in 2012, that number would drop to 32.9 percent by 2060. Hispanics are projected to make up 38.0 percent of this group in 2060, up from 23.9 percent in 2012

When the history of the US is written, historians will point to the 1965 Immigration Act as the primary cause of the decline and fall of the United States of America. We are in decline now and it will only get worse.

[Red Steel]

No Winston, at 20 more so usually naive and ignorant.

[LS]

No explaining stupid. Young people liked Hitler, too.

[ansel12]

It was the end, it was a replacement strategy to defeat the United States, a nation that was a slap in the face to some, and immigration had become the tool for the left to destroy it, within 75 years of the beginning of the revolution.

[piytar]

Millenials = stupid and brainwashed. There are exceptions, of course, including some FReepers.

[Hot Tabasco]

Churchill never said it nor is there anyone, anywhere, who can remember that he did............Internet myth

[usconservative]

Young U.S. voters have become more likely to identify with the Democratic Party since 2006, a Gallup Poll said Friday.

So I guess they like living at home in mom and dad's basement without having any meaningful employment while they play video games all day then........

[BulletBobCo]

Both my son(20)and daughter soon to turn 18 are conservatives.....What did we do wrong!

[kabar]

...within 75 years of the beginning of the revolution.

75 years?

[RIghtwardHo]

As they say ... well duh.

Between the youth vote and minorities, the GOP is dead. It’s just a matter of time. And while none of those groups may embrace conservatism (which will also kill conservatism), at least if we had a conservative party we’d have a shot at convincing them.

But except for here, I see no movement in that direction. We are saddled with extinction.

[RIghtwardHo]

Actually. No. It hasn’t always been the case. It’s usually been a pretty even split. But the worst of this is that they aren’t getting more Conservative with age. They are remaining, or becoming, even more Liberal.

No. This is unique. Never before happened.

[ansel12]

Yes, take a look at the history and problems of immigration in America.

We started importing large numbers of European thinking, even anti-Protestant Christian liberal voters in the mid 1800s.

Look at what they were doing to American politics then, and what we see today, they started a progression towards the left that fed itself with imported voters, which led to more despised immigration, which kept feeding the voting machine for the left, nothing has changed, and over generations, they won.

[ansel12]

There is something in Hispanic voting that shows a glimmer of hope.

People know what the Hispanic vote means, but what almost no one knows, is how Hispanics who are protestants, vote.

In 2000, they went GOP by 44%, in 2004 by an incredible 56%, and even in 2008, against history and Obama blah blah, they went 48% GOP.

[Red Steel]

You win. ;-)
