      Well… not according to the '25 election returns.

      But they’ve accrued a whole lot of very sick-in-the-head GenX / Millennials with the same toxic nostalgia that poisoned the Boomers. What they didn’t anticipate was the voter burnout that’s plagued Democrats since the 90s coming for their new flaky, disgruntled, hyper-individualist base.

          I think I need to look it up as well but my impressions is that they made huge inroads with Gen Z males but are still underwater with Gen Z as a total. It’s just an outsized impact as younger folk tend to be reliably liberal.
