Will white Millennials become more Republican when they're middle aged?

[GeorgeBFree]

What causes younger voters to grow more conservative as they age is either increase in income/wealth and/or having children. Incomes and wealth relative to baby boomers is lower on an inflation adjusted basis. Also millennials are far less likely to get married or have children. As a millennial, anecdotally the ones who are getting more financially successful and buying homes have moved hard to the right while those who are single and in lower/middle income jobs are shifting yo Bernie/AOC crowd versus previously being moderate Dems.

Being poor and single means greater loyalty to left as they have no skin in the game to preserve a free market economy. Unless economic formation or marriage rates accelerate millennials will not trend Republican. In fact they may get further left as they give up hope of ever being traditionally successful.
