The results from Alabama indicate that young voters aren't turning into Nazis in hordes all loving Trump. In Alabama. Seems kind of odd to conclude the entire country will soon vote like Alabama does now currently in terms of racial demographics.
Why does everyone say Alabama's GOP trend applies to the whole country? It doesn't make sense. California whites are trending Democratic. I see the CA GOP falling into a bottomless pit. I predict the 2020 Democratic nominee will win CA whites (and every other demographic in CA) by a wider margin than Hillary Clinton. I think the country is too diverse for all whites to vote like they do in AL. I think trends will continue to be different in different regions. Alabama is no indicator of a national trend.

Young whites in California overwhelmingly voted for Clinton. Arizona's growing Hispanic population and Democratic trend among white voters made AZ a new swing state. The US is too diverse for whites to all become like Alabama whites.

Since Generation Z will be the most diverse generation in history, any talk of the entire group becoming Hitler Youth is absurd. But it's still possible that white youths are becoming more conservative, especially those without a college degree who live in the South or Midwest, and any further liberalization (for lack of a better word) is on the backs of minority youth.

Can anyone bring up the numbers here again? I remember we had a long talk about this exact thing a few months back.
I definitely see that being the case in the rural South and Midwest (which are trending GOP), but I don't see it happening in urban areas or states like CA and AZ (where even whites are trending Democratic). The Democratic trend in the Twin Cities suburbs might also complicate the GOP's path to victory in MN (where Trump likely relied on his promise to protect entitlements). Bruce Poliquin might also be vulnerable in ME-2 (a very white district).
