Republicans Becoming the Party of Youth, Democrats the Party of Older People
Why isn’t the constant indoctrination from every part of life working to turn these kids into leftists? Part of the reason is their parents. The kids hear the left demonizing their parents merely for being white, Christians, or Republicans, and they see a disconnect. Their parents aren’t the monsters the left is making them out to be.

Contrary to democrat talking points dutifully echoed by their mainstream media and big tech social media lackeys, it is the GOP that is the party of the young with energetic young leaders and new ideas, not the democrats. The democrats are the aging party full of ancient relics as their leaders.  This is clearly more good news.  Speaking of news it’s mainly older people watching the msm on tv.  A nice and positive article I am pleased to share here.

Notice the Democrats have stopped claiming that Republicans are the party of old white people? Demographics are changing. Their efforts to stigmatize senior citizens for their age and claim that they aren’t relevant anymore is no longer working. The so-called party of diversity elected an old white man who many believe is losing it cognitively, including the former White House doctor for Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump. Viewership of the traditional MSM evening news on CNN, ABC, NBC and CBS leans elderly. Meanwhile, there has been an explosion of conservative youth. Despite the left’s domination of education, the media, entertainment, business and the legal system, they aren’t making traction with young people.

Business Insider recently surveyed 1,500 young people from Gen Z, known as Zoomers, and found they were about evenly split between Republicans and Democrats. Sadly, all the news in the MSM blares that Gen Z is very liberal, and most of the major polling companies like Pew lean to the left so the real numbers aren’t getting out. Pew deliberately changes the narrative by doing things like breaking up polls into “white evangelicals” vs. “non-white evangelicals,” in order to cause division and never actually produce real data about what groups like evangelicals think. 

Contrary to perceptions that only old people watch Fox News, it is equally popular across all age groups. According to a poll by Public Opinion Strategies, only 20% are 65% and over. A larger 25% that watch Fox News are 18-34. In contrast, CNN only attracts 20% in that young age bracket. The median age of the average viewer of the traditional MSM TV networks ABC, CBS and NBC is 60, and it hasn’t changed in years. Left-wing MSNBC has the largest share of older viewers, with a whopping 44% 65 or older, and only a tiny 4% of its viewership is 18-29.

Baby Boomers are now senior citizens, and since the so-called hippy generation always leaned to the left, this should come as no surprise. A CNN article from 2019 entitled “The Democratic electorate is older, more moderate and less educated than you think,” observes that 27% of Democrat voters are 65 and up, whereas only 14% are younger than 30. A 2018 Pew poll found that more Boomers are Democrats than Republicans, 48% to 46%, a recent shift from when they were more Republican in 2015.

A major study of 10 million people in 2016 found that more young people identify as conservative now than in the 1980s, and more than Gen Xers and Baby Boomers. It also found that a larger percentage identify as far right, 23% of Millennials. In contrast, 22% of Gen Xers and 17% of Boomers do. This makes sense, due to how crazy the left has become, polarizing people and canceling youth on social media. 

Another survey in 2016 found similarly striking results among 14 and 15 year olds. The Gild found that more teens held socially conservative views than Millennials, Gen X and Boomers. An astonishing 59% identified as conservative on same-sex marriage, transgenders and cannabis legislation. And 14% of the teens identified as “quite conservative,” in contrast to 2% of Millennials and 1% of Generation X.  

White youth are clearly more conservative than other youth. A Tufts poll found in 2016 that 48% of those between 18 and 29 voted for Donald Trump, while only 43% voted for Hillary Clinton (their polling of the 2020 race is problematic due to all the voter fraud), a significant difference beyond the margin of error. 

Many of the biggest stars on the right are quite young, Millennials or younger, such as Candace Owens, Charlie Kirk, Tomi Lahren, Steven Crowder and Ben Shapiro. The left keeps warning about this huge cultural shift that is going to be the result of younger generations moving to the left, but it’s been a big flop. 

Why isn’t the constant indoctrination from every part of life working to turn these kids into leftists? Part of the reason is their parents. The kids hear the left demonizing their parents merely for being white, Christians, or Republicans, and they see a disconnect. Their parents aren’t the monsters the left is making them out to be. Their parents are giving them a better upbringing than a lot of woke parents. Who wants to have every conversation with your parents revolve around race and white privilege? Who wants a parent who is constantly high?

The other reason is the left is starting to implode and attack itself, so many young people are finding themselves canceled even if they’re not vocal conservatives. One small slip-up and they’re subjected to a torrent of hate on social media. We’re not quite yet a totalitarian society where the government ensures that there is no dissent, so there is still room for youth to slip out of the left’s grasp. 

The left tries to polarize everyone by race, but the truth is we’re more mixed races than ever, and someone who looks white is often mixed. The child of a white and black parent isn’t buying the lie that his white parent is evil and and his black parent is a victim. The left’s contradictory messages are catching up. Racism was decreasing in society for years, until Barack Obama stirred things up and Black Lives Matter emerged. It doesn’t take too long digging through woke results on an internet search to find out that the U.S. is the least racist country in the world and was one of the first to end slavery. A recent survey of people around the world asking them where they would choose to move to overwhelmingly found the U.S. was the top choice, no other country came even close. An astonishing 21% picked the U.S., with Germany second at 6%.

Since so many polling companies tilt to the left it is not easy to discover this trend. But as long as we can stop voter fraud, there is no sign the country will be tilting to the left anytime soon.

There is a reoccurring myth in American politics that states that youth are generally extremely liberal. Conservatives are invited to write off the new generations until they mysteriously reappear later on their voter rolls when they become older, presumably after gaining experience in life.

However, there are other explanations as to the cause of the continuous drift to the right over the last decades. One of them is that many young people have always been conservative in the first place. Reports about cohorts of liberal young people are grossly exaggerated.

This is particularly the case with millennial voters. A new paper analyzing voter trends reveals three surprising facts that should encourage people to rethink conventional wisdom on their political outlooks. Published in the journal Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin , the new study collected data from three surveys that monitored about 10 million American adults from 1970 to 2015. The paper especially recorded the political views of the last three generations.

Fact 1: Young People Are More Conservative than Ever

The findings are indeed surprising, if not shocking. According to this new paper, millennials are much more likely to identify themselves as conservative than members of Generation X or even the Baby Boomers when they were the same age.

Equally astonishing is the fact that more high school seniors identify as political conservatives than those ten years ago. Finally, there is the extraordinary finding that more young people today consider themselves conservative than in the eighties, a heyday of young conservativism during the Reagan era.

Fact 2: Young People are More Polarized Than Past Generations

A second surprising fact is that not only are millennials more conservative, but they are more polarized than previous generations. Young Americans are more politically polarized now than at any time since 1970.

Overall, researchers found that twice as many adults hold "extreme" political positions in the 2010s than in the 1970s. But millennials are not trailing their elders; they are leading the way. This polarization is not around the extremely liberal positions that have long been assumed to be the domain of youth. Rather researchers are finding this polarization is driven by conservative issues.

Incredibly, the young people are even more conservative than their parents or grandparents. Among new college students, for example, some 23 percent of millennials lean far right, while only 17 percent of Baby Boomers and 22 percent of Generation Xers now accept the same identifier. Never have such figures been found in previous generations.

Fact 3: Researchers Don’t Know Why Millennials Are More Polarized or More Conservative

The final fact is that researchers don’t understand why millennials are more polarized or conservative, which is an indication that the data is not biased. Indeed, the research runs counter to the liberal narrative about youth that automatically assumes them to be extremely liberal and Democratic Party-aligned. According to the progressive leftist view of history, youth over time should become more liberal not less. Conservatives should be losing support not gaining it.

There is nothing in the credentials of the study’s survey takers and compilers to indicate they have a political agenda. If anything, they would probably tend to lean left. This is confirmed by the fact that the researchers and those commenting on the study have expressed surprise by the findings.

Some have conjectured that the rise of the Internet and 24-hour news has made the social identifying process more robust. Others point to a political climate that is much more ideological than in the past. However, the search for causes for the increasing shift right have yielded no firm conclusions save that further follow-up research is needed.

The importance of these three facts is highlighted by the growing influence of the new generations. Millennials and Gen Xers are now the largest sectors in the American electorate with 126 million voters compared to 98 million Baby Boomers and those from prior generations. It will also force the political parties to be more articulate and convincing since nearly 59 percent of millennials now identify politically as independents.

Studies like that of the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin are good news for conservatives who desire a return to order . To those who feel blue about the nation’s political future, there is a lot of political red on the horizon.

This article is disinformational. Basically, a lie! Back here in reality, while younger people are less likely to identify as belonging to one political party or the other, as Democrats or Republicans, of those who do, they are way more likely to identify as Democrats...

This article is a pathetic lie.  ALL the evidence confirms that the vast majority of younger Americans regard the republicans with total contempt and disdain.  Propaganda like this article is a feeble attempt to convince the Trumpist base that they aren't abnormal.  Of course, it fails miserably.

Using youth voting from the 2016 election to try and claim Republicans are becoming the party of youth is hilarious and of course, total bullshit. The youth vote spiked in 2020 with 53% of eligible voters under 30 voting which was almost 10% higher than the same demographic voting in 2016. The results are obvious, voters under 30 detest Republicans and their loser candidate.

" Based on our analysis of AP VoteCast data from The Associated Press, 61% of youth (ages 18-29) voted for Joe Biden, and 36% voted for President Trump."

" Voters under age 30 leaned heavily Democratic, favoring Joe Biden over President Donald Trump by a wide margin (61 versus 36 percent)"

" Fifty-nine percent (59%) of 18-to-29-year-old Americans approve of President Biden’s job performance overall; 65% approve of his handling of the coronavirus and 57% race relations"

" By a margin of 2:1, young Americans expect their  lives  to become better (40%) under the Biden administration, rather than worse"

Those are the facts. Only loser dipshits at the conservative lie factory Townhall would be trying to convince their ignorant gullible readers that the youth vote is trending towards old white religious bigot Republicans.

Is 'Generation Z' the most conservative since WW2?

5hrs ago

Teenagers born after 2000 - the so-called 'Generation Z' - are the most socially conservative generation since the Second World War, a new study has found.

The youngsters surveyed had more conservative views on gay marriage, transgender rights and drugs than Baby Boomers, Generation X or Millennials.

The questioned were more prudent than Millennials, Generation X and Baby Boomers but not quite as cash-savvy as those born in 1945 or before. 

Scroll down for video 

Sociology experts class those born in or before 1945 as the Silent Generation; people born between 1946 and 1964 as Baby Boomers; those born between 1965 and 1980 as Generation X; and anyone born between 1980 and 2000 as Millennials.

Only 14 and 15-year-olds were surveyed, by brand consultancy , as they were classed as being able to form credible opinions by that age.

When asked to comment on same-sex marriage, transgender rights and cannabis legislation, 59 per cent of Generation X teenagers said they had conservative views. 

Around 85 per cent of Millennials and those in Generation X had a 'quite' or 'very liberal' stance overall. 

When asked for their specific view on each topic only the Silent Generation was more conservative that Generation Z….
