So apparently you haven't looked at demographic trends over the last ten years because shockingly middle aged dudes have become the progressives among males. Not that they've moved to the left, but young men have swung so far to the right, it's terrifying.
It's why centrists are so keen on labeling us teenagers. It makes me feel so young.
Gen X males were the bigger supporters of the Republican party than even boomers in the last election. I'm not sure which demographics you think I'm not paying attention to.
The swing in youth is noteworthy because it was a suddenc change, and the youth rarely support Republicans to much degree. Not that they were the biggest supporters
Young people and progressives don't vote.
The swing is a global phenomenon. It's not just about your republican party.
