The Republican party is likely to change once the boomers pass on. Massie won a majority of the votes of those under 56. He’s obviously not popular here among the Fox news watching boomers.
What news do you watch?
Aside from the prevalence of fraud, it is very unlikely that Massie’s message was the same before his election than after it.
So, do you credit Trump and MAGA to just boomers?!
Do you think once Trump & us boomers are gone, the anti-American Right can take over MAGA and run the country into a ditch?
If so, then you whippersnappers might even keep the logo "MAGA", just change "G" from "Great" to "Gawdawful", right?
Oh, yeah, that'll work great!
Good luck with it, sonny-boy.
jimwatx: "Massie won a majority of the votes of those under 56."
56 is roughly the median age of Kentucky 4th district Republican voters, meaning half are older than 56.
Those include all Silent Generation (over 80), Boomers (62-80) and 1/3 of Gen Xers (those 56+).
These voted by overwhelming majorities against Massie.
So, Gallrein carried 19 of the 21 counties in Kentucky's 4th district, mostly by margins of nearly 60%-40%.
Massie carried only two counties and only one of those, his home, Lewis County, by a 60%-40% margin.
Was that all just Boomers voting for Gallrein?
No, it was Boomers, Silent Gen and a large part of Gen X.
It seems, our younger voters, just like radical Democrats, don't care about governing the country, they just want to raise a little h*ll. 😉
jimwatx: "He’s obviously not popular here among the Fox news watching boomers."
Roughly 10% of Republican voters are Rand Paul, Thomas Massie-style libertarians.
The other 90% are more-or-less MAGA, meaning they support Pres. Trump all, or nearly all the time.
Those are not all Fox-watching Boomers, they include most younger voters as well.
How well they can hold together in 2028 and beyond is anybody's guess, but I don't expect "never-Trumpers" to ever make a comeback within the Republican party.
Kentucky has a F’d up Swamp R team.
Their Senators prove that..
Correct. At this point I’m gonna laugh my ass off if the next president and congress caps and implements means testing for Medicare
By the time those over 56 pass away, many of his previous voters will have grown up and won’t support him either.
