It's all about demographics. This is the alt-right/internet Nazi generation, so I expect Generation Z whites to be 70-90% GOP. However, they will only be about 50% of the young vote. No clue how young minorities will vote compared to their elders.

35% of 18-24 year olds in the French regional elections in December 2015 voted for the National Front Party. That was a real eye opener to me. Especially since that age demographic is between 20-25% Muslim.

I'm gonna be interested to see what the racial voting breakdown of this generation is. Will the right wing populism of Trump carry over into the youngsters like Marine Le Pen in France? It's gonna be something to watch out for.



It already has, millennial whites voted for Trump by 5 points, just imagine how high it's going to be once the Pepe generation comes of age.
A.) That's a far lower margin than whites of any other generation.
B.) Millennial whites voted for Romney by 7 points, so they actually swung towards Clinton.

Also, in the UK millenials voted overwhelmingly against brexit.


In Italy, millenials voted against the recent constitutional referendum (pushed for by the center left Democratic Party, opposed by the populist Five Star Movement.)  My thinking is that the millenial generation in continental Europe are populist conservatives, while millenials in the Anglo-phone countries are liberals.
