The GOP is literally dying off

111. Absolutely correct but you are wasting your time being correct on this topic

I have pointed it out here since 2002. Nobody cares. They prefer the tired flawed conventional wisdom that people become more conservative as they age.

As you emphasized in your prior post, the single greatest indicator is now people voted in their first election. Partisanship is typically forged when a person becomes of voting age. And the single most influential variable at that time is the popularity of the sitting president, and which party he belongs to.

The Silent Generation has always been reliably Republican because they turned 18 when either an unpopular Democrat (Truman) or very popular Republican (Eisenhower) was in office. They didn't become conservative. They always were conservative.

Contrast to the 1994 midterm election when senior citizens were the only group that voted dependably blue. That's because it was the Greatest Generation toward the end of their lives. That generation was politically imprinted as Democratic leaning from the outset, since they became of voting age under an unpopular Republican (Hoover) or popular Democrat (FDR).

Systems are not preferred around here. Subjectivity rules, no matter how tiring and ineffective. Subjectivity has led to Trump resigning at least a half dozen times.
