(111,620 posts)I even bolded the sentence in the first post to you.
After decades of constituting the majority of voters, Baby Boomers and members of the Silent Generation made up less than half of the electorate in 2020 (44%), falling below the 52% they constituted in both 2016 and 2018. Gen Z and Millennial voters favored Biden over Trump by margins of about 20 points, while Gen Xers and Boomers were more evenly split in their preferences. Gen Z voters, those ages 23 and younger, constituted 8% of the electorate, while Millennials and Gen Xers made up 47% of 2020 voters. https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2021/06/30/behind-bidens-2020-victory/
Boomers DID NOT overwhelmingly elect Donald Trump nor overwhelmingly support him. Evenly split is just that--not to mention there was a decrease with die-off in 2020 from 2016.
If you detest/mistrust everyone that comes from Millenial, GenX and especially Boomer (Obama) or Silent (Biden) generations then that is on you. Such bigotry is not ok in my book so put me on " ignore" if you wish to continue to do so. But, you need to know that there are plenty of them here on DU and it will not just be me calling you out if you elect not to be a lot less accusatory without the facts.
