You’re right about one thing: America isn’t coming back. This wasn’t just another election.
According to the exit polls whites 65+ voted for Romney 61%-39% (14% of the total vote); blacks 65+ for Obama 93%-6% (1% of TV); Latinos 65+ for Obama 65% to 35% (1% of TV).
I don't see much movement in how minorities vote for the Dems as they grow older. Asians actually voted more Dem than Hispanics, i.e., 73% to 26%.
