People born in 1956 would not be voting in 1972, and that isn't your stupid argument anyway, you aren't saying the obvious, that people vote, including the young.
Your madness is in claiming that the kids and young voters were running the nation, and making Supreme Court decisions and running wars.
They didn’t run wars; they ended one.
“People born in 1956 would not be voting in 1972”
That wasn’t the poster’s statement:
“...*most* children born *in the ten years* following WWII (the boom) would be voting (and protesting, and doing whatever young adults do) in 1972.”
In theory people born in 1954 could vote. So yes, that is “most in the ten years” from ‘46-’56.
I’m late to this but I knew you’d be here. Well, you are on the Gen-X ping, it seems, so sure.
Still wishing you could point us to a website where we might find voting-bloc info broken down so well. Even if it’s Wiki - what do we look up exactly to get the stats you claim?
