The oldest millennials are now 42, and all ya gotta do is review some of the footage from the J6 attempted coup and you'd see mostly millennials attempting to overthrow the government in support of trump.

I would say I rest my case but as I think about it, quite a few millennials have shifted right quicker than GenXers and boomers (not saying all of the older cohorts by any means as many boomers and GenXers are part of the Democratic coalition).

538 is premature with this IMO.
