Those rightward shifts among Millennials are tiny. The question is whether those rightward shifts will overwhelm the effects of Gen Zers reaching voting age. I strongly, strongly doubt that.[/quote]

Yes, they will, because there are a lot more of them. [/quote]

There are more Millennials, yes, but... that doesn't matter. What matters is whether the number of Millennials switching to Republicans is greater the number of Democratic Gen Zers reaching voting age. That's what I am doubting.[/quote]

Newsflash.  Young people are always liberal.  Wait until they have kids, get real jobs, pay taxes, and have wealth.  You think 18 year olds with Wendy's jobs and attending college have a clue how the world works. Lol, have you been to a college recently? They're clueless children.  My wife just left her job at a university. The stupidity of college kids was astounding. So many were incapable of doing something as simple as opening up a bank account and filling out the paperwork to receive direct deposit in order to get paid from their on campus job.  No wonder why a cohort that inept at the basics of life is easily duped by clownshows like AOC.[/quote]
Actual newsflash: other than flaming both sideser Nate Cohn’s pro gop piece, Millennials aren’t getting more conservative as we age. Why would we? We’ve seen what the gop does, their lack of policies, their corruption and support of criminals. And some of us are even lucky enough to have gotten houses and kids and minivans and are caring for our aging Boomer parents. We’re getting more liberal.[/quote]

+1. I'm a Millennial now with young kids and we're getting more liberal because the GOP is nuts. What do they have to offer or rather, what is their platform other than outrage and grievances? I was born in the early 1980s and have watched what this country has become over my lifetime under "free market capitalism". What are they doing to address rising inequality, rising housing costs, rising healthcare and education, unaffordable childcare costs, and my children's future with gun violence and climate change (you can deny it but good luck getting insurance coverage in all of those coastal markets)? What are they doing to fund long term infrastructure investments, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid? What are they doing promote democracy both domestically and abroad? I don't need tax cuts. I need a well-functioning and fully funded government that is boring and normal. The New Deal worked for almost 50 years before it was systematically dismantled. Why don't we start making America Great Again and go back to high taxes, robust government investment and a strong social safety net.[/quote]
