I had a 18 YO at the Trump rally this past weekend tell me that the younger generation is more conservative than I think. Could have been his bubble, but it sure would be nice!
It might have some validity. When I discussed this with my daughter last night, we delineated difference between chronological generations and political generations. My parents are from the very end of the greatest generation. I’m from the very end of baby boomers. My father was a huge Goldwater supporter. You know what I heard about growing up. My daughters are on the cusps of GenX and GenY. All they heard about was conservatism/libertarianism growing up. And me complaining about RINOs. Point being, I think political leanings are learned from parents to a large degree. There are alternating political generations. (Maybe, just conjecture on my part)
This reminds of the 1980s when young people turned conservative after the damage inflicted by Jimmy Carter and turned to the GOP as Reagan turned around the economy.
Love all the comments being made about the younger generation.
Imprtant question ....are they registered to vote?
