Looking at the way that those under 30 vote, I don't see how you could argue that it's the Democrats who are doomed. I don't buy the whole "mid-90s kids will vote Republican." It's not really backed up by any evidence. In the short term, the real argument is 1997-2005 kids will vote 55% Republican.
Yes, the most diverse and liberal generation in history is going to vote 55% Republican. Definitely.
I would say based on polling demographics that most generations become more Conservative as they get older, and younger people are more liberal.

No they arent for two reason :
Everyone thought the boomers and late silents were the most liberal generation in history when they were young during the 1960s, and then guess what happened, they were the ones who swept the Republicans into power during the 1970s and 1980s
I would say the Greatest Generation were much more liberal
