Nope.

I prefer actual non-editorialized content. You're posting editorials from news sources that have been repeatedly shown to be false or politicized.

I would never do that myself.

Sure, here's a real article that actually shows why the next generations will become redder, and less blue.

Why Democrats Should Be Losing Sleep Over Generation Z

According to research, Gen Z is more individualistic, more conservative both socially and fiscally, and they’re already making waves of impact on our political system. Gen Z, those born in 1995 or later, is possibly the most conservative generation since World War II, and it is worrying that their impact has been completely overlooked during this election. While our fears might be preemptive, we should not make the mistake of disregarding the intriguing yet also possibly worrying world views of Generation Z.


Oftentimes Millennials have been criticized for being notoriously liberal, but it looks like the generation right behind us has completely rebelled. A U.K. Study at The Gild did a survey of almost 2,000 adults and found that on issues like gay marriage, marijuana legalization, transgender rights, and even tattoos, 59% of Gen Z respondents described their views as ‘conservative’ and ‘moderate’.
Generation Z was able to FIRST vote in the 2016 election.

Trump won despite all the polls and models saying Demographics would guarantee a Clinton victory, and that's with most of Millennials voting for Clinton.

The country is growing redder overall and becoming less blue. Once the rest of Generation Z becomes eligible to vote, watch out.

No, actually you criticize every source that is offered that presents an opinion that you disagree with in spite of the fact that many of those sources have links to substantiate the material presented.

Not true. I've read non-editorialized content from non-fake news sites and have enjoyed the content.

You simply need better news sources. Try something that isn't leftist slanted once in a while.

They're all inter related of course. Demographics aren't just about race, or age, or gender. So if you highly focus on one, you'll always miss the point (just like all the leftist polls that said Hillary had a 98% chance of winning the presidency).



That's what we want to avoid.

Generation Z will have lots of Hispanics, unless you're trying to make the point Gen Z doesn't have any Hispanics.

These hispanics will vote redder, and less blue.

Do you dispute the article?

Here is an article that states the opposite:

America


And another:
- A survey of more than 135,000 first-time college freshman in 2016 found that more students are identifying as liberal than at any time since 1971.
-About 35.5% of students identified as liberal, compared to just 22.2% who identify as conservatives.
https://www.campusreform.org/?ID=10065


But if your prediction about Gen Z conservativeness is going to be enough to make up for the proven liberal tilt of a growing Hispanic population in Texas then good for you. Whatever you have to tell yourself to sleep at night is fine by me.
CampusReform.org? Doesn't sound like a reliable source of info.

I don't need to tell myself anything at night, Trump winning told me all I needed. Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania all turned red. Minnesota and Illinois will eventually become more purple as well.

Gen Z is only going to get redder and redder.

But did one expect something else from a blog run by "The Leadership Institute: Training Conservatives Since 1979"?

HuffPo reminds of of the classic line spoken by New Yorker film critic Pauline Kael, :

Quote:
"How could Nixon have won? Nobody I know voted for him"; referring to George McGovern's loss to Richard Nixon in in the 1972 presidential election.
The progressive left's echo chamber has been around for a very long time.

The thing is Democrats have been singing the "Demographics will eliminate the GOP" song for decades. I remember when after Bush Sr there would "never be another GOP president again."

Yet here we are. People don't realize demographics are very fluid, and trends sometimes change depending on the situation of a state or locality. For instance Michigan had been suffering under Democrat domination after Reagan, and as the financial toll added up, the state became more and more purple until in 2016 it completely flipped Red.

Texas used to vote reliably blue, now it's the opposite.

California will change too within my lifetime. Like with all socialist experiments, California will eventually hit its fiscal cliff, and voters will clean house.
