While most of us under 50 have completely different political views than core Xers like Classic-Xer; our views are quite a bit closer to his own than they are to your average boomer establishment politician, or younger bootlicker establishment politician.Unfortunately, Trump is doing best at getting rid of the Republicans which are being forced to be loyal to him. The first priority is putting the traditional American virtues on the ballot that Obama said are on the ballot. That enables the Democrats.
The DNC has made it crystal clear during this last primary that anyone who is any kind of populist (either left or right), anyone who doesn't support free market fundamentalism or anyone who doesn't support radical censorship: The DNC has said quite clearly that we were not welcome in the democratic party. If anyone has any inspiration for change and positive reforms and positive increases in the American people's freedom; then they must make their political home elsewhere certainly not in the halls of the DNC. The democratic party is now the home of power hungry establishment boomers who fancy themselves an aristocracy and/or boomer and teacher's pet SJW control-freaks.
Getting rid of the boomers in Washington DC solves most of this country's problems and Trump is the only one so far who has made any progress in that regard.
The Democrats have given lip service to including part of the radical agenda, such as climate change and bridges. They have claimed the elites and corporations must pay their fair share of taxes, and repealing the Trump tax cuts for the rich. We will have to see if they are serious about that.
Today's DNC is pro-wall street and pro-corporate control, it is also pro-cultural censorship (with the exception of expressions of cultural decadence) and is thus is against the average everyday americans. Current democrat leaders voter profile are those who have cradle to grave pipelines of wealth, Boomers who already got theirs and are so selfish that they want to knock down the later and hollowed out underclass districts who are dependent on the former when it was the first two groups who are responsible for breaking down classes in the first place, thus creating the dependency cycle in the first place; due to outsourcing and the boomers participation in the drug trade which flooded city neighborhoods and hollowed them out orginially back when the boomers were in their own young adult years.
...as opposed to the Republicans who would gladly eviscerate unions, pit minorities against each other.
You tell me -- Republicans have taken over several states in the Mountain and Deep South.... and what have they done except to make it easier for people already rich to get even richer at the expense of everyone else?
Boomers split neatly into elites who are as you describe, basically a Soviet-style nomenklatura that ensures that nobody else has a chance but instead has a duty to make those already filthy rich even filthier-richer... and the other side, people more normal in their dreams and methods. I could make the case that late-wave Boomers have spent most of their entire working lives under such people and have paid a high price in denied opportunities and in being overworked and underpaid.
