The secret sauce of USA political opinion is not age - it is ethnicity.

Young people tend to vote just like their parents, but 5%-10% further to the Left.

More than 50% of the kids who turn 18 and vote this year will be non-white. They vote at least 75% Democrat.

White youngsters are more complex.

About 5%-10% gravitate towards the Libertarian Party.

As they age, they gravitate back to the major parties, but they actually split - around 50-50 - Republican and Democrat, after leaving the Libertarians.

White European Americans - as a group - consistently vote 55%-65% Republican.

Good points but I wonder if things are different now.
As: when I was young the old people around were ones who once were rebellious and Dem but then matured and got more wisdom.
Today’s old men with their long gray hair in manbuns once were young pot smoking hippies against the war and now are
old legalized pot smoking leftover hippies against America and against Trump.

Old saying:
If You Are Not a Liberal When You Are Young, You
Have No Heart, and If You Are Not a Conservative
When Old, You Have No Brain’
