Outstanding points, all of them.

The "breeding" dimension requires some further exploration. There was a piece YEARS ago, from a leftist perspective, that basically worried that their save the planet, pro-abortion, family-hostile philosophy provides no feedstock, while "those God-fearing capitalists" crank out 5 kids that go to the range. While it was a dramatic piece, there IS a lot of truth in that analysis.

To a certain extent, a lot of what we see in terms of social and economic policy is about creating that feedstock for futures leftists.

Their problem, is that generations grow conservative as they age. The drug-taking, brassiere-burning Boomers are basically grown-up, wealthy Yuppies. That maturation is happening to Millenials which is why Hollywood is trying to reel them back in with their rebooted nonsense. Unfortunately for them/good for us, entertainment that ruins childhood memories never works out in the end. I'm getting popcorn.

Thanks.

I think as they watch Hispanic and other immigrants mature they realize they are more conservative than hoped for, primarily because they came here for the American Dream from the 1980s films instead of authoritarian socialist kleptocracy (which many of them fled). Liberalism does sour on Americans as they age, not just because they get the bills for it but also because they witness decades of failure of the same policies.

Hollywood and other media don’t know how to handle a population that increasingly doesn’t watch current TV or movies; censoring internet content (their primary competition, it seems) is one start they’ve undertaken.
