That was a fairly idiotic read for a Sunday morning in bed. But hey, enjoy your confirmation bias if you want to.
"That means there is hope for a country that is beleaguered by weakness — which leans to the left."
... Never before has an author so effectively and quickly communicated to me that they aren't a serious journalist.

Ah yes. "I'm a conservative because I can't find a date." Classic.
if the majority swings one way, the next generation will swing the other way.
We have no example anything like what we're seeing now. Those turning 18 are 87% blue. Every day boomers die, kids turn 18, and 83,000 votes change to blue - every day. The demographics are staggering. Want to know why the "red wave" was a pink trickle? That's why. At no point in US history in the last 150 years have we seen anything like this. The GOP will lose the Presidency in 24 - there will be over 5 million new blue voters, and people aren't turning red as they age anymore. The GOP will lose the House and Senate too. Attrition via death - the red side doesn't have enough voters left.
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.
