Nate Cohn: Every generation of voters moves right over time
John Sexton 4:00 PM on June 03, 2023

This popped up at the NY Times Thursday but I didn’t see it until this morning. It has long been considered a truism that voters move right as they age. But as Nate Cohn points out, there had recently been some studies disputing that claim:

Political folklore has long held that voters become more conservative as they get older. But it is nonetheless at odds with a wave of recent reports or studies suggesting otherwise. The Financial Times, for instance, wrote that “millennials are shattering the oldest rule in politics” by not moving to the right as they age. Similarly, the Democratic data firm Catalist found that Democrats essentially haven’t lost ground among millennials and Gen Z over the last decade. These findings have helped spark a new wave of speculation about whether the long-awaited era of Democratic dominance might this time really be at hand.

Here’s a bit of the Financial Times story he mentioned. This was published back in December.

Well, that explains it.

An aging population, statistically, will become more conservative overall.

Thus, the Left is importing younger people in droves, in hopes they can sustain their Leftist base, often from countries which lean Left, and ingratiating them with handouts.

And they are hoping they can isolate (and increase) the alphabet people to keep them on the Plantation as well.

They are counting on the illegals to sway that balance.
