eh, maybe. pendulum is only going to swing so far before it swings back though.

It will only swing back once the GOP actually does something to help people, and stops being so extreme/authoritarian. Until that happens the trend will continue.

Always before the political party would be pretending to care. The GOP ISN'T EVEN PRETENDING. They've embraced extremist fuse like banning abortion and various other wildly unbelievably unpopular things. There is massive support for gun safety legislation, for tax relief for everyday people rather than corporations, for medical care reform, younger people support science and the GOP is blatantly anti-science in every way possible, just over and over again, there is absolutely nothing at all to attract younger voters or even middle-aged voters. The pendulum will never swing back as it stands today.
