Do you think when millennials and homelanders "take over" things will be better? I have my doubts. Boomers' own hopes for this in the sixties have been dashed, by the Boomers themselves and the Xers. Things never seem to change in this country; the process of change stopped in 1980 and has not resumed. The USA is sclerotic and shows no sign of changing. I have predicted that this would finally change in the 2020s. Now, it would be a mammoth, wholesale and 180-degree change, as of Tuesday. So, good luck to the USA.
Boomers besides the Blue ones who relish the 60s are as happy right now as a dog with two ____.
Granted, they were duped by Trump after going through years of Obama-Derangement-Syndrome not all that long after the earlier Clinton-Derangement-Syndrome years. But there they all are ... look at the age distribution of the vote!
I don't have figures on the age distribution of the Trump vote, and with so many mail-in and provisional ballots yet to be counted, I doubt such figures are accurate yet. But from what I've heard, millennial whites probably voted for him. We certainly can't be guaranteed that the white millennials will escape the sclerosis of continuous trickle-down Reaganism as they get older. And Xers have always been more conservative, with due allowance for aging. No hope can be placed in them at all.
