Trump Selling America to China

The average age in the US is 37 years old. Over the next 10 years, the Millenium generation will become the dominant voting group in the US. Them the Republican party will be over, The majority the Democrats have is massive in this group. Less religious and therefore less Republican 

Demographics of the US paint another picture of Republicans vs Democrats. 

The educational gap in partisan orientation continues to grow

Higher educational attainment is increasingly associated with Democratic Party affiliation and leaning.

Religious affiliation and party identification

White evangelical Protestants remain one of the most reliably Republican groups of voters, and the GOP’s advantage among this segment of the population has continued to grow in recent years: 77% of white evangelical voters lean toward or identify with the Republican Party, while just 18% have a Democratic orientation.

Urban voters grow more Democratic, rural voters more Republican

Voters in urban counties have long aligned more with the Democratic Party than the Republican Party, and this Democratic advantage has grown over time. Today, twice as many urban voters identify as Democrats or lean Democratic (62%) as affiliate with the GOP or lean Republican.

Overall, those who live in suburban counties are about evenly divided in their partisan loyalties (47% Democratic, 45% Republican), little changed over the last two decades.

Voters in rural areas have moved in a more Republican direction over the last several years. From 1999 to 2009, rural voters were about equally divided in their partisan leanings.

A wide – and growing – generational divide in partisanship

The generational gap in partisanship is now more pronounced than in the past, and this echoes the widening generational gaps seen in many political values and preferences.

Millennial voters (born 1981 to 1996) have had a Democratic tilt since they first entered adulthood; this advantage has only grown as they have aged.

Democrats enjoy a 27-percentage-point advantage among Millennial voters (59% are Democrats or lean Democratic, 32% are Republican or lean Republican). In 2014, 53% of Millennial voters were Democrats or leaned Democratic, 37% tilted toward the GOP.

The fact that the research is done along those lines is testament to the fact that there was a preconceived conclusion which smacks of bias. Not the scientificway at all...prejudiced BS disguised as science...the lefty way.

Well, Draad it is clear that Democrats have a massive advantage in Millenial voters who will soon become the voting majority. (So the Republicans are toast). 

Apparently generation Z is even more Democratic. So what you consider left will soon be centre or even right. 

This is why the Trumpanzees support their master so. They can see that he is their last throw of the dice, before your ideology fades into oblivion...

Just 27% of Millennials approve of Trump’s job performance, while 65% disapprove, according to Pew Research Center surveys conducted in Trump’s first year as president. Among Gen Xers, 36% approve and 57% disapprove. In Obama’s first year, 64% of Millennials and 55% of Gen Xers approved of the way the former president was handling his job as president.

----

Among Boomers and Silents, there is less difference in first-year views of the past two presidents; both groups express more positive views of Trump’s job performance than do Gen Xers or Millennials (46% of Silents approve, as do 44% of Boomers).

Keep going SB, keep going. It is becoming easier and easier. 

Fist. Remember that the future is an unknown. Anything you say about the future is pure conjecture. 

Second. You are now using a possible future outcome to support your assertion about the present. What I queried was your assertion that currently “....many are the below-average intelligence people of America “. Revisit your statement but do it slowly, so you don’t miss the part where you say “are” below average. You do know that are denotes present tense, don’t you? 

Third. You have no way of knowing that the fact that the current youth will form the base and control the future Dems. The truth is that the Dems may well be concerned about that very situation. They seem to have lost a large chunk of the younger support due to the way that they have been treating the socialist wing of the party, and that wing is mainly made up of younger voters. 

You can quote reams of stats but that is the reality. There are many progressives, and some very vocal progressives at that, who are now saying that Bernie Sanders should have run on a Republican ticket because many of his ideas have more resonance with the Republicans than the Dems. I have said before that the other progressive in the Dem race, Tulsi Gabbard has more in common than Trump than with the Dems. Her only big beef with Trump is the fact that he has not yet pulled out of the wars and Medicare for All. She is also not happy with the stimulus packages. 

She, like all progressives, reckon that he should have handed out all the money directly to the people, whereas Trump’s philosophy is to boost business so that they can protect the jobs and the income of the working people. 

But, as I said, carry on trying to prove that conservatives are unintelligent. It is fun to watch you steaming to try and prove your point. 

Sharktwit many young people are taken in by left wing marxist indoctrination. But when they get into the real world they realize their folly. Hence as you get into stats for older people the less and less are they marxist. Surely even a dumbass like you knows communism doesn't work. yes by the time you get to 40 you are educated enough by life to say goodbye to marxism.

Further Republicans out earn demonrats.

Find a breakdown of the far-left fraction within the Dems v the left fraction within the Dems and then we talk. 

The only party in danger of undergoing radical change is the Dems. 

1. Millennials are 2:1 Democrats vs Republicans (2 democrats for 1 republican)
2. Generation Z is the most Democrat of all- and when they have more voters over the next 10 years- the Republicans are over.
3. Generation X is a slight advantage to Democrats

How many times must somebody try and help you.   The fact is I advised you to look at he exit poles result at the 2016 election and see something that could potentially help to straighten out the theoretical sources you quote from.   Those polls are normally wrong since they do cover very limited surveys, while exit pols cover everything on a much wider basis:-

Please see the following website on the 2016 election where Beeno got the info from:-

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_United_States_presidential_election

Go down on site until you get to maps and below that is Voter Demographics.   You will see the actual situation:-

When looking at the demographic info you  must remember that 68% of the voters are White and the same percentage of voters are college graduates,   Frim the figures provided it is clear that of the total DP voters the most important component for the Democrats are -

*   the Black vote'

*   the Hispanic vote

An exceptionally large component of the Black and Latino voters are low qualified people so bear that in mind as well.

Snark, one day you'll discover your folly...the day you realize you're living in a communist sh!thole...and that day is approaching at breakneck speed.

Everybody on the left especially the progressives are blindly behind the Democratic Party in full force. Oh wait.......

Nanzi Piglosi is poor sharkvirus's hero. The clown is a communist sympathizer.

And then there is this:

The difference is Trump cares about solving problems, the Dems care about exploiting problems. He is not perfect, not an old style English gentleman, but way less objectionable than he is portrayed. 

He has a sense of humour.....does Biden, does Pelosi, does AOC?  His family is also accomplished and his kids are inherently sound. Sure he is bombastic and immodest, but those aren’t the worst failings in a President, incompetence is.

The media are still trying to pin some heinous act on him, but they all turn out to be misrepresentations. Like all the claims he is profiting from the Presidency when it’s likely the  reverse....and again no credible proof.

In the meantime the media overlooks  Biden Enterprises a whole family of political entrepreneurs who have hitched their wagons to a failing old man, who was nothing more than a bully even before he started losing his mind

Trump is a brash, arrogant New Yorker....but competent, dedicated to doing a good job and right down Main Street in his views. America is a great country and if you believe that Trump is the only game in town.

Snark, you millenials are too young to really remember the horrors of communism...and socialism is communism-lite...the path to the Darkside...much suffering ahead...

Get this straight - ideology has nothing to do with it.   For decades the Democrats regarded the White working class as their voting fodder and treated them like shit,  For instance the real income and standard of living dropped by 10% and they totally deserted the Democrats in 2016 for precisely that reason.  The Trade Unions ran the voting machine for the Democrats - - but the voters did not listen to what they were told by the Unions and in huge numbers - some for the first time in their lives -  deserted and voted republican,  They lost hope that the Democrats will do anything for them bar exporting their jobs,  In exit polls surveys done countrywide indicated that 53% of the city dwellers, 60% of the suburb voters and  73% of the rural voters went in a bg way for Trump - he got 72% of the vote of the people that thought the country was going the wrong way - as against 23% for Clinton.   In 2012 the difference was 11% in 2016 49%.  

The people were feeling they were deserted by their party for which they voted for regularly since 1988.   It is not ideology - it is the no care attitude of the liberal and party gentry that caused the problem.   I think even though Democratic politicians are basically blind to reality they realized that they cannot survive without getting support in return for nothing and that caused them to issue illegal drivers licenses as means of identification to migrants in the name of dead people on the voters roll and in 2016 the fraud in California involved more than 3 million votes and in Texas 800 000.   The other thing they used is the open borders campaign to ensure flooding in of further potential voters,   

The latter was not clever either, the new arrivals cause job losses and lower pay for workers and the sufferers are the existing Latino and Black Voters who increasingly find themselves in the same hole than the  white workers were in in 2016 and they are also getting tired of voting for promises never kept.

There used to be similar policies followed by the Democrats and  Republicans and the results in elections were decided by a small group of voters that switched parties from time to time.  Ideology had ZERO to do with it,- you got inside the two parties the sane kind of groupings -  Leftists Liberals, centrist and right wing elements,   There was no policy differences between Bush an d Obama for instance,  

At this stage the Democrats have no coherent policies - since the ideologues  have entered the party and is pulling it further to the left  and they have the active support of the media,  The Republicans have always been a center right party - with the far right people like the KKK not regarded as acceptable.   In the main Trump is just about part of the centrist group in the RP.  Fact is that is why he got rid of Bolton who was always a notorious war monger,

The only people who has ideological ties are the small part of the Democrats who has become a loud leftist group in the DP.    The rest are just voters trying to protect their own interests.

You have no idea about what socialism entail,  Socialism is not the rendering of services to communities allowing for assistance to those who needs it.   That is present  in any Political Party and has been for centuries anyway,   From about the middle of the 19th century it became obligatory for members of the royal families all over Europe  to render community services and assist the less privileged,   With the expansion of democracy the power of the royal families were ended and they were kicked out or their power in Governance was reduced drastically,

Parliaments realized what the Royals used to do and then started their own welfare enhancement  programs and that developed into hat the present scenario,   Socialism as an ideology had nothing to do with the systems developed in democratic countries,

It is suggested that you look up a definition is of Socialism - there is a lot of those.  What I have seen with my own eyes as well as read about or heard  as follows:-

EXTREME SOCIALISM IS AN ABOMINATION WITH THE BLOOD OF AT LEAST 250 MILLION PEOPLE KILLED OM INSTRUCTION OF THE SOCIALIST GOVERNMENTS .

MORE LAXITY IN SOCIALISM RESUKT IN TOITAL DIASTER WHEN THE GOVERNMNT IS TAKEN OVER BY THE SOCIALISTS.   tHEY REMAIN AN ABOMINATION . 

There is a loophole in international tax - so the per capita is actually skewed. 

How many of those are tax evasion countries? It is a false economy if they are not producers. They are just tax thieves pandering to US corporates. A few are oil producers undercutting OPEC. (The underlying reason for much of the war with Arab countries)

Once there is an international standard tax rate in place - this will change. Trump was asked about it and all he did was threaten trade wars.

Another wild statement about Trade Wars,  The statement is wild because there were no trades wars other than  when trade was skewed against the interests of the people of the USA,
