NYT writer says Dems are 'getting destroyed' as data show Gen Z 'most conservative' generation in decades

Ezra Klein suggested that Democratic assumptions about youth support have proven 'completely false' amid President Donald Trump's return to power

New York Times columnist Ezra Klein spoke with a Democratic pollster Tuesday about how the dream of an ascendant Democratic majority is imploding as younger voters, especially White men, flee the party.

Klein interviewed David Shor, the head of data science at Blue Rose Research, a Democratic polling firm, for his podcast in an episode titled "Democrats Need to Face Why Trump Won."

When Klein and Shor reviewed numerous charts, including one headlined, "2024 Democratic Support by Age – Split by Race and Gender," the pollster explained that in this chart in particular, "One thing you can notice is that among 18-year-olds, women of color are the only of the four [race and gender demographic groups] that Harris won. Trump narrowly won nonwhite men."

The Times columnist seized on one "shocking" finding in the data that defies one of the Democratic Party’s core beliefs.

"I find this part of this chart shocking. I sometimes talk about narrative violations, and if we knew anything about Donald Trump eight years ago, it was that young people didn’t like him. And Republicans had been maybe throwing away young people for generations in order to run up their margins among seniors," Klein said. "But if you look at this chart, 75-year-old White men supported Kamala Harris at a significantly higher rate than 20-year-old White men."

I’ll be amazed if PDJT gets through the next four years without another attempt on his life.

That, and Gen Z had to put up with the lies and BS and act like it was truth in the school, despite the clear evidence of their own eyes. That has a big impact.

My theory is that people decide where they are politically during their high school years. They stay that way for decades.

I remember senior citizens used to be a very liberal group because their formative years were during the great depression.

My formative years were under Carter and Reagan, no surprise my age cohorts are conservative.

Those under Biden and Trump can’t help but also end up more conservative, and it will last for decades for this group.

I don’t think those young men are running from the Democrats, I think the Democrats have run from them. And kicked mud in their faces as they departed. It doesn’t take much of that, and there’s been quite a lot.

Never in history has there been a clearer, more sharply delineated side-by-side comparison of Left and Right styles of government. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime “teachable moment.”

Maybe they could try switching their strategy from “winning at all costs” to “following the truth”? Could they possibly consider this option?

Actually if the VP serves less than two years as VP before havig to assume the Presidency, that's consider one of his two permissable terms. So basically it means that taking out Trump early (before Jan 2027) ensures Vance can only finish the remainder of Trump's term and then run one once on his own, effectively robbing MAGA of the third term of that three-term dream. Which is why I think IF it's gonna happen (God forbid) it will happen before Jan 2027.
