Anecdotally speaking here, but my wife’s family are all good Irishcatholicdemocrats (one word) living in/around Louisville KY.
But at Xmas I was talking to her 20-something cousins and several of them, all young women btw, quietly admitted to me (one of a couple token Conservatives who married in) that they couldnt pull the lever for Grmes and voted instead for McConnell. Because of Obamacare, the economy, being tired of identity politics, etc.
Not to be intended as promoting McConnel and his RINOism, but them telling me that does sync nicely with him blowing out Grimes by 15% in what was supposed to be a neck-and-neck race.
The younger generations are actually fed up with BOTH parties, governmemt overreach and the political system in general. Which the Democrats are much more heavily invested in.
So the opening to these voters is there ...
PRECISELY...good example.
Today’s elderly Democrat voters are voting for the Democrat Party of 40 to 50 years ago. They have an amazing ability to TOTALLY SHUT OUT who the Democrats are now and what they stand for.
The people you mention don’t have that brainwashing, despite the non-stop attempts by the left, particularly in our public schools. They do hate both parties, for differing reasons, but that also means they are not the one-for-one replacements for the Democrats that are dying off in big numbers now
