Republicans Becoming the Party of Youth, Democrats the Party of Older People

...Business Insider recently surveyed 1,500 young people from Gen Z, known as Zoomers, and found they were about evenly split between Republicans and Democrats. Sadly, all the news in the MSM blares that Gen Z is very liberal, and most of the major polling companies like Pew lean to the left so the real numbers aren’t getting out. Pew deliberately changes the narrative by doing things like breaking up polls into “white evangelicals” vs. “non-white evangelicals,” in order to cause division and never actually produce real data about what groups like evangelicals think.

Contrary to perceptions that only old people watch Fox News, it is equally popular across all age groups. According to a poll by Public Opinion Strategies, only 20% are 65% and over. A larger 25% that watch Fox News are 18-34. In contrast, CNN only attracts 20% in that young age bracket. The median age of the average viewer of the traditional MSM TV networks ABC, CBS and NBC is 60, and it hasn’t changed in years. Left-wing MSNBC has the largest share of older viewers, with a whopping 44% 65 or older, and only a tiny 4% of its viewership is 18-29...

The democrats have spent so many years in Washington, they think it’s theirs. They don’t come to serve, they come to control and Retire wealthy.. they have turned into the scum party and lost all links to reality.

This is the first time I have ever heard anyone make that claim about the republican party. Nice if it’s true.

I wonder about these results. With the Left’s control of the culture, the schools, Big Tech etc. how are the youths figuring out it’s all bull?

h/t allendale......debilitating and troubling phenomena.

A culture that has so many bizarre post menopausal old ladies in positions of power.

Democrats Pelosi, Harris, Jackson, Duckworth, Hirono, Sotomayer, Kagan, Feinstein, Cheney, Collins, Murkowsi, Lightfoot, Clinton.

These old cranky biddies play critical, negative roles in governing in what had been a vibrant, strong productive, decent society.

Decline and decay are inevitable.

They are old enough to remember the boom economy under Trump and how Trump took a world on fire and brought peace. Now they are facing hard times.

The author is wrong. I am a senior citizen who will turn 80 in the first week of August. I have always voted Republican and will always continue to do so.

Even young GOP “leaders” tend to be very socially liberal, at least. Dig a little deeper and they want the government to do a lot too. They may think of themselves as conservative, but too often not so much.

Many old corrupt life long politicians in the dim party.
They exploit the young,dumb and feeble to maintain positions.
And of course,there are willing tools. Like media folk and freak Hollywood. Although,many of them are not so young anymore.
Although,most of them definitely never grew up.

You have to forgive the poster. He or she is a noobi so mistakes do happen. Even I who has been posting for many years make mistakes. We are after all human.
