Great statistics. I don’t know the voting issues behind the numbers but I’ll speculate: boomers get excited by Carter and then tire of Carter in 80s. Decide to become Yuppies in 80s (more conservative). They get older and hearken back to their glory days (especially after listening to Bruce Springsteen) in 90s to present. Society become more liberal (except for the beginning of Iraq war) and then continues along that wayward path toward socialism till the present. We’ll see what Nov tallies!
One could just say that boomers have always been a pretty conservative lot, that produced 9.4 million veterans, and they didn’t get old enough to start making real impacts on America until they started getting old enough to slow down the damage that was done from 1935 to 1975.
In 1980, the “Reagan Generation” which are the boomers, ranged in age from 16-34, they were not the adults running the nation into the ground in the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, and the 1970s.
