[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's sort of silly asking Millenials living in DC whether they are getting more conservative as they age. Of course not. Look at where they live. But does it matter in the end? Of course not. DC has 3 measly electoral votes and no representation. It does not matter how they vote.

WE should be looking at trends across the country, which do show a swing towards conservatism with age. And, of note, Hispanic voters more likely to vote R, which is an important trend given the increase in numbers. [/quote]
While the website is “DC Urban Moms (and Dads),” you should understand this is a public site and many of us - and I’m one of the not getting more conservative Millennials in this thread - don’t live in DC. Where are you posting from, for example?

No matter. Millennials are staying liberal and Gen Z is aging into voting as covid and old age are beginning to reap their harvest of Boomers. The GOP and its voters have done everything they can to keep everything to themselves and to tell everyone younger than they are that it’s because of avocado toast and laziness that they don’t have the same wealth that their parents did at their ages while ignoring the fact that it’s the system the GOP has created. I can’t imagine why Millennials and Gen Z aren’t lining up with gusto to vote for the Republicans. [/quote]

let me guess, you live in Silver Spring? lol. [b]You - like most in metro DC, SF, LA, NYC - don't have your finger on the pulse of most of America.[/b] The system that the GOP has created? You do realize that Clinton was president for 8 years, Obama president for another 8, and during that time there were only 3 R presidents - with two being 1 term? It's been a pretty even pissing match. Life is expensive because we're overpopulated, and Millenials/GenZ like to cry that they don't have McMansions because that's what they see on SM. I'm GenX and lived in my fair share of cramped apartments and townhomes. I also paid off my own school loans by going to a cheap school. I have zero sympathy for the generations that refuse to work and want to live like digital nomads because "work-life balance". Take the balance but lose the money. That's how it works.

And yes, trends continue to show that GenX have swung R while Millenials are less likely to be D as they were in years past. The data is there and its not changing just because you don't read it. [/quote]

DP. Do I have my finger on the pulse of Pissant County, Alabama? No; I'll freely concede that. But judging by your post, I have a better read on DC, SF, LA, NYC, etc Millennials and Gen Zers, and there's an order of magnitude (or two) more Millennial and Gen Z voters in DC, SF, LA, and NYC than in the rural "most of America."

And, nobody is disputing that there are more Millennial Rs than there were two decades ago, but what's indisputable is that the rightward shifts for Millennials and Gen Zers are less pronounced than they were for GenX and Boomers in years past. The data is there and not changing because you don't like it. Perhaps you should make more of an effort to get your finger on the pulse to figure out why![/quote]
