The demographic oddity of the 60's - big baby boomer bulge - the depositionally large number of influential young people - is over.
' Adults' will be in charge from here on out. Trump's a sign of things to come.
Eternal teenagers of the left - of all ages - snowflakes and their ilk - are yesterday's fantasy. They won't sway power in the future. Political romanticizing of 'the young' - the foolishness of the 'age of Aquarius' is over... deader than a doornail.
The press needs to wake up too and start staffing their newsrooms with serious adults. It's why the New York Times is downsizing... hippie 'wisdom', eternal teenagers and breathless drama is finished. No one's buying it.... or the newspapers that push it.
Fun fact: Donald Trump, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton all were born in the first year of the Baby Boom (1946-1964), all three within a ten-week period during June-August 1946.
The U.S. will have a stretch of at least 28 years, 1993-2021, in which the President will be a baby boomer (Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump), all born within a 16-year period (1946-1961).
The longest stretch of presidents all born in such a short time period was 32 years, 1961-1993, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, all born within a 17-year period (1908-1924).
Oddly, the birth years in between those two runs, the 21 years of 1925-1945, have produced no presidents, the longest such drought in U.S. history.
