Fox’s Bill O’Reilly has the ‘young demographic’... the 16 to 25 year olds...(or there abouts). That’s a huge culture shift.
It’s the canary in the political coal mine...
A demographic change has happened - boomers finally getting old. Power’s shifting away from ‘the young’ and their ‘ideals’ - - to ‘the adults’. It will stay that way forever (barring a major war - in which case all bets are off anyhow)... it means ‘grown ups’ of the Republican party will stay in power until democrats figure out their childlike ways are politically offensive... Which is NOT going to happen. Frank Luntz senses the change but he’s not sure why it’s happening.
You seem to endow one or more contemporary generations of Republicans with powers not easily seen. The “adults” in the room *ARE* the Boomers - just look at Trump and his Cabinet. With the exception of his children and a few others, the Millenials and GenXers have failed utterly to step up and provide leadership - let me just suggest Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, and Paul Ryan as some of the leading examples of such failure.
If the 16- to 25 year olds who are not presently on the radar politically are to fill the void, that’s great. But they’re going to need to rally around Trump and ideas like capitalism and educate themselves in the ways of business and commerce, accepting the basic inequality that exists in a free market nation, and putting aside their childish whining about “fairness” and an all-seeing all-feeling big brother government that provides “free stuff” like tuition and health care and start becoming producers, not just eaters.
