You don't even need to project it forward. Just 15 or 20 years ago, retirees were a massively Democratic cohort because they were the old Depression FDR generation who have since mostly aged out of the electorate. Retirees aren't inherently Republican, it's just that the present cohort of them are pretty right wing. We might have a similar situation in the 2030s-2040s when all the late 1960s/1970 births (The Xers) retire, as they're a lean-GOP demographic, as well.
