And once again, it’s the boomers who were on those state legislatures. I have no doubt that what they will do is increase the voting age up again. Since it’s clearly the young people screwing up everything and we are not to be trusted.
Wouldn’t the irony be palpable? The same generation that demanded that it be lowered to accommodate them, pulls the ladder up behind them?

Now we’ve got adolescents into their 30’s.
