I'm entering decade 6 of my life and I've heard since I was a teenager that the end of the Republican party is nigh due to young people are liberal and the demographics are changing in the Dems favor....then life happens and they change.
Yep....the one thing that you can count on is people generally become more conservative as they get older.
When you don't have a pot to pee in, it's easy to have a "eat the rich" attitude....
Until you get a little older and make something of your life..... suddenly you realize that you don't have to be rich to be on the Dem's menu.
Well, what do the Republicans offer anybody? Lose even more freedom? Shut down the press? The conservatives seem to have a double standard with what they say and do. They say they want less government. That’s only for businesses not for us. They want to restrict our personal freedoms.

Republicans want less government interference in corporate corruption but government can't be too big when controlling everyone's private lives.
But academic research indicates not only that generations have distinct political identities, but that most people’s basic outlooks and orientations are set fairly early on in life.
Millennials are abandoning the two party system all together.
We don't have a 2 party system.
The 2 dominate parties get most of the votes, but there are always choices. A "2 party system" would mean that only representatives of the 2 parties are on the ballot.

I was fairly centrist as a young person. Then I got my first real job out of college, and looked at my pay check stub. The net amount was MUCH lower than the gross amount, so I added all the "deductions" of Fed income tax, state income tax, local income tax, SS, Medicare, and some other taxes. I very quickly became interested in how, and when my money was being spent, and forcibly taken from me. It didn't take long to start agreeing with more of the thought from the right.
We should all be leaning to the Right. Economy, Security, Jobs, Freedom are all important things to the Right but from what we have been seeing from the Left that has been taken over by a bunch of extremists they want anything but.
For example the push for open borders and amnesty for illegal aliens should give any sane person pause and I think as the Millennial's struggle to find good paying jobs in a tough world they are realizing that they have been lied to. They have been told time and again that everyone is a winner just for showing up but when it comes to getting a job to try and pay off the huge college debt they realize how hard it is. They also realize how much of their money goes to taxes etc. etc..
Millennial's might not like Trump but I think more of them are seeing that the Left has been lying to them about many things.
They are growing up and learning to form their own opinions and learning to question instead of blindly following along with the crowd.

hmmm, that again sounds like what the democrats want.....
