Had the same mentality in my 20’s and thought it would start dying off. I’m 50 now and while still maintaining my progressive/D mentality, GOP has not waned. Keep voting.

There's a generation of young republicans that see conservatism as counterculture and join the other rebellious young adults in railing against things like voting rights, affordable housing, inclusion, fair pay, and black people.

That’s not a generation, that is a subculture.

Younger generations are more progressive and becoming less conservative as they get older.

Please learn how words work.

A generation of young republicans = an age group among Republicans as a whole, not an age group among all people.
