"For Ethnically and Racially Diverse Young People, There Isn't a Whole Lot to See in the Republican Party"

"Winograd's theory of realignment goes like this: It started in 2008 when Barack Obama dominated with young voters and people of color. Yes, Trump won eight years later by coalescing white voters, but that doesn't refute the case, he said. From 1968 to 2008, Republicans were the dominant party, winning seven of the 10 presidential elections to Democrats' three. The next 40 years, Winograd and Hais predict, will see a parallel tilt toward Democrats."

Laura Barrón-López at Politico writes that "Americans born after 1996, known as Generation Z, could doom not only Trumpism but conservatism as the country currently knows it."
