There is a generational turning going on, with Boomer driven media stars fading, as they no longer draw the audiences they once did. The firing of Stephen Colbert, the ending of the Howard Stern show, the departure of Lester Holt from NBC Nightly News, and the rumors of the end of Saturday Night Live are all emblematic of the fading of the Boomer generation. Conservatives will not miss any of those programs. However, it has less to do with MAGA than with the eclipse of Boomer cultural dominance. In the 1960s and 1970s, we saw a similar drop off of GI (Greatest) Generation icons like Lucille Ball, Ed Sullivan, Red Skelton, etc., from public popularity.

I do have some hope we will see what I call “Generation Trump”, the kids who are now in high school, who will reject the liberalism of the past few generations.
