The Republicans’ Millennial Problem
It's going to take more than policy gimmicks to compete with the growing allure of victimology.

In a recent article at TAC, writer Alex Muresianu put into relief the difficulties that lie ahead for the GOP as it seeks to capture a larger chunk of the Millennial vote.

In the 2018 elections, voters between the ages of 18 and 29 voted for Democrats in House races by a margin of 35 points. Tellingly, Millennials who attended college were more likely to vote Democrat than those who didn’t. As a retired professor, I can attest to the immersion in leftist ideas that a college education, particularly in the humanities and social sciences, brings with it. But however we look at the demographic under consideration, the disparity in voting preferences cited by Muresianu remains quite noticeable.

...

Moreover, a growing percentage of Millennial voters are multiracial and generally tend toward the Left. A study by the Brookings Institute in 2016 indicates that no more than 55 percent of those between 18 and 34 are white. It is hard to imagine that these non-white young voters, who are now solidly on the Left, will embrace Republican politicians because they promise to free up the urban rental and real estate markets.

TAC comes out with an article worth considering here.  Those demographics are a bit troubling at that. Last paragraph. Picture 2029 and beyond.

Obama won both of his elections pretty handily, this is all kind of scary stuff,  it's like America's last chance, and if one is disappointed or not, that's what Trump's election meant.

But I don't rule out, that a consensus of supporters can be made again in the future for a Republican candidate, not just Trump.  It can be done....

America, as it exists today -- a dividing nation -- cannot continue without some kind of fundamental confrontation between the leftist/democrat-communists and the traditional-minded Americans of the heartland.

This will happen, not a matter of "if" but of "when".

What will occur when it does?
