Millennial momentum means trouble for the GOP

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

If you believe the political past is a forecast of the future, you really need to read the Pew Research Center's analysis of the 2020 presidential vote.

The research vividly portrays the opportunities that await the Democratic Party and the obstacles that the GOP will likely confront down the line.

Pew matched the data of the people it polled during the 2020 campaign to public records to examine the behavior of Americans who officially cast ballots. The actions of these validated voters speak volumes about the future of American politics.

The most encouraging sign for Democrats was the generational change of the guard. The 2020 election was a watershed moment in contemporary American political history.

For the first time in a presidential election, members of the Silent Generation (born between 1928 and 1945) and Baby Boomers (1946 and 1964) cast fewer ballots than the younger group that includes Millennials (1981 and 2002) and the people in Generation X (1965 and 1980).

1. Millennials recognize Republican moral and ethical degeneracy

The Republicans can thump the Bible till the cows come home -- they do not live it. They are rank hypocrites, and young, intelligent Americans cannot help but notice.

2. Fortunately for Republicans ...

... they don't need a majority to control the levers of political power in this nation. Hell, they don't even need a plurality.

3. BRING IT ON!!!

4. Demographics will NOT solve the Democrats problems.

Constitutional advantages for red states will mean that Democrats MUST work hard in 2022 and beyond up and down the ballot.

PAY ATTENTION to state, local, and judicial races.

Fight for ballot access and fair districts that represent the electorate.

Without TFG to animate younger voters, we must make a comprehensible argument for them to turn out in huge numbers again. If we re-capture state legislatures, we must not be bashful about correcting state and federal district boundaries in a fair, non-partisan manner. Texas did it in 2003 locking in GOP structural advantages for a generation. Democrats should make a un-doing these horrific legislative maps a priority.

WE WILL WIN FAIR FIGHTS!

Rural and small state voters MUST be shown that competent governance has advantages that screaming about white grievances (while coddling billionaires) just won't address.

This is an OPPORTUNITY....not a fait accompli. We still must earn the right to govern.

5. It was in the 80's and there was this guy on WABC, N.Y.C. radio, Bob Grant.

And he had some guy on who was explaining how the demographics were such that the majority of votes would soon be to Democrats because of the influx of Hispanic immigrants, increase in Black births and decline in Caucasian births. The former two would vote Dem. and most of the later would support Republicans.


It didn't happen.
