Half of Young American Voters Are Republicans

I don’t know what poll this guy’s talking about, but Pew Research has the fraction of Democrat voters age 18 – 29 at almost exactly half (49%). In my mind, that’s a sad thought, not a happy one.

For me, born in 1955, that range was from 1973 – 1984.  Trust me, the number of young people who voted against Jimmy Carter in 1976 or voted for Ronald Reagan in 1980 was minuscule. There was such a thing as the “Young Republicans,” but they were a fringe bunch of angry and repulsive people.

At that point in time, very few 25-year-olds wanted to cut taxes on the rich and remove programs in the federal government that benefited the common American.

Here we are, 42 years later, and half of our young people are Trump supporters?? And you think that’s something to celebrate?  A future whose voters support cruelty, racism, indifference to the well-being of others, and environmental irresponsibility?
