I remember thinking MAGA was becoming a fringe cult and that Trump had no chance in hell to win again.

I'm just going to stop thinking.

Unfortunately they already indoctrinated too many young people.

Maybe next generation, but considering Idiocracy is becoming more and more of a reality, we're cooked.

Boomers aren't the problem. Gen X is. Boomers dying off as a voter group will actually make the country more conservative:

Looks to me like it's moreso that men are the problem. The gender divide seems wider than ever before in the social media plane, and the statistics show men of every age group leaning more right. There's been other stats showing a shift further right for younger generations as well.

Men have always been more right. Gen X is the only one where most women are as well.

The future scares me with how captured the youth are. Given the younger generation is not known for their critical thinking or self-reflection skills, it may be very difficult to get them to ever turn away from the far right.

Boomers are slightly (well within margin of error) more right than millennials, but the shorter life expectancy of men pays dividends on the already great proportion of women voting so in the end they voted about the same for Harris in most exit polls when not divided by gender.

Saying that it has always been an issue does not make it any less significant of an issue. It's one thing to lose one generation to the right, but another to lose a whole demographic of every generation to the right. There have been plenty of past elections where men vote majority left especially within their respective generations

Wonder how much of it is emotion vs logic (not as simple as that but along those lines)

the older you get, the more wisdom in life you gain and stop thinking so emotional and reactionary over every little thing

Or maybe it seems that way because things like blue sky and resetera are super emotional (rage/anger emotions) about everything and so naturally the assumption is conservative must be more logical since its the opposite

might only be true for conservatives and not the far right though cos of horseshoe theory

Oh, lol. I'm not in danger of becoming a conservative any time soon. If you've misunderstood or misconstrued my posts (as often happens on CE, I've learned) then it's not my problem. The one you responded to was a joke. I actually thought Harris was going to win by a landslide and was severely disappointed.

If you want to see unhinged emotion and complete lack of logic go to r/conservative or basically any other hive of conservatives. Obviously every circlejerk tends to be a mess, but you are severely underestimating how unhinged conservative spaces are.

I mean, thats what every person getting more conservative as they age say. And I wasnt referring to ITT. Just saying, would be good to reflect on your own inner intolerances and prejudices before you fall down the hill a lot of people do.

Gen X is also the smallest of the generational cohorts. So this is less of a problem than is made out to be.

Comparing them to Boomers makes Gen X's voting numbers seem just as powerful as Boomers. And they aren't, not by a long shot.

In the U.S., using Census population projections, the Pew Research Center found that the Gen X population born from 1965 to 1980 numbered 65.2 million in 2019.

That same projection had Boomers at 71.6 million. Now you might respond, but Boomers vote more! Yes, all retired people vote more in every country and Gen X will be the retired group that votes more when Boomers die off.

Do charts like these even take into account of the non voters? They're the ones that usually turn the tide whenever they get up off their asses to vote.

I don't have the data on me at the moment, but nonvoters were split pretty even between Trump and Harris with a slight advantage for Trump. I don't think it had a detailed demographic breakdown. I will try to find the data.

Edit: It was actually a pretty big advantage for Trump.

Here is the data:
