(54,329 posts)Wrong age cohort, as my age cohort was a very small part of the 2016 electorate, and we voted in far greater numbers percentage wise for the Dems and Clinton than did older people. (I turned 20 a couple of weeks before the election, I was born very near the cusp of the Millennial Gen and Gen Z, I am a Zillennial, a micro gen from 1992/3 to 1998 or so born)
It was older Gen Xers, the Boomers and up on balance who did the real damage, and especially white people overall, with white males just off the charts Trumpy.

I already addressed the Trump thing here.
As for the rest of your post, I am loathe to get into the mud, as you are just pushing quotidian anti-youth hostility.
We (younger voters) made the difference (overcame the older vote who went Rethug) in 2018, 2020, and 2022. I have posted on that extensively in the past here.
Perhaps you and others who are so quick to point the finger of blame and ridicule at us younger folk should get your age cohort house (it's bright Red, it needs a paint job) in order before hammering us.
As a black women as well, I see a lot of similarities with some who expect us PoC to be the saviours, just like some do with us young voters.
