    Young voters outvoted Boomers in 2018

    Maybe this is old news to some of you but I hadn't seen this graph until this morning.

    Given how 2018 turned out, the fact that Boomers are continuing to drop like flies, and the fact that some projections put 2020 overall participation at the highest level since 1900 I'm feeling pretty positive we can save the Republic and put the nail in the coffin of the former Party of Lincoln.

    Does any Trump supporter think this is good news?

      How did 2018 go i.e. the year that this graph is talking about?

      And the smart money (538) said that Trump had a nontrivial chance of winning.

            That is the problem when allowing the ignorant to vote.

              Losing a bigger margin in the senate, losing most of the important progressive candidates in their senate runs, and not gaining a huge amount of seats in the house.

                Is there any reason to think that the next generation is going to vote more left than the previous?

                  This is how I know you're not serious. This statement is just false and you can't find *anyone* credible who agrees with you.

                        This article indicates so. As the article points out, radical social change is the norm they have grown up with. Look how quickly Transsexualism, a bridge too far for many in the older generation (and a bit of challenge for me), becomes something we just accept and move on. The GOP is a far right party so even those who become "conservatives" will hopefully look more like a traditional center right party rather than supporting overt fascism as today's Republicans do.

                          Your replies in this thread are on par with me mocking you for having a 'Sky Daddy'. Do better.

                              The OP is about voting trends in 2018, not this other stuff you're bringing up! If you want to dispute that 2018 represented a blue wave you're going to have to explain why the Democrats gaining 40 seats and taking control in the house doesn't count.

                              It's not just my opinion. Rick Wilson, who had a significant role in giving those past Republican victories, described it as such.
