I guess it’s true that people generally grow conservative as they get older, but come on guys, we were better than this. Plus both Gen-X and Boomers knew about Trump and his shit long before he became political. Did all the ones voting for him as some better choice get dementia or something? I never forgot how the first times he tries running for office even as a Democrat it was more of a joke than anything else. Still is, but Jesus, people bought it hook, line, sinker, pole, boat…
some other instances is how some became more conservative, is in the west coast i was in a college class where someone became more conservative when they moved here. i suspect alot of transplants are conservative flee to more “blue areas” because alt-right was too crazy for them, and of course job and education opportunities are lacking, so they bring thier conservatism here too. its purely selfishness.
Gen Z still voted Harris. I think the news was just that the youngest generation typically breaks for Democrats far more than they did this time and a higher percentage voted Republican than they normally do.
yea it was, i believe it was mostly due to X and joe rogans, j peterson incel types too. i think what change for boomers is they realize republicans were not helping boomers out in thier older years, threatening thier SS, medicaid,etc, and general attitude towards older people. i remember a article like 1-2 years ago, in an article a life long republican in trump area said they voted for biden because the Republicans were not nice to 55+people.
Last time I checked they actually voted for Harris. It was Gen Z and Gen X that voted for Trump
18-29 was 51/47 Harris. 30-44 was 50/47 Harris. 45-64 was 46/52 Trump. 65+ was 47/51 Trump.
So Gen X did vote Trump, but so did Boomers. Gen Y and Gen Z voted Harris.
Not sure where you’re checking, but it seems like you’re misinformed

Go look up how lead poisoned our generation is. No one should rely on Gen X for shit. We failed the country this past election for sure.
