[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When the 60+ crowd are gone, the dems will be panicking as to how to run more progressive campaigns rather than resenting anyone whose marginally more left than a conservative 10 years ago. The republicans will be great though.[/quote]
Pretty much, yeah. Democrats really have no unifying policy or ideal that steers them well. They fundamentally disagree on LGB{T especially} rights, climate change policy, immigration, etc. The Democrats also love killing progressive candidates in local races and showing young people that the party abhors them.

Based on votes around the world right now, this is a spectacularly wrong take. Youth worldwide are voting more to the right than in years past. I expect this year to be no different in the US. [/quote]
Well, in the US young women have steered more and more the left, and men are stable. The countries you're thinking of have a right leaning male populace for different reasons...
Korea is weird, because the "left" party isn't exactly left leaning and doesn't support liberal policies like Gay Marriage. I'd learn about their political system, because the views are generally different from the West's left/right split
UK is in a mess right now and is losing the conservative party fast. The country has not done well under 14 years of Conservative rule, but the labour party is awful and putting up a bad candidate whose milquetoast at best.
Germany/Finland/the Europe you're thinking about is currently undergoing an "ethnicity" crisis. It is not the same concerns as the Republican party. Well, I guess the white nationalists may agree. But, they have an issue with immigration in terms of assimilation and inequality. The youth have "leaned right," as in they want the government to back their ethnic culture, but if you had these youths list out the policies they want, they are left of the American center.
But if you seriously think American youth are in any significant numbers moving right, I'd have you wait and see how many will be not voting this election due to a bad Democrat candidate/will vote for Biden.[/quote]
