I agree the young are more liberal, once they age and take voting seriously, that will show up at sometime in the future. Both major parties also adjust. They must do so to stay competitive. In our two-party system, one party always must be an alternative to the other. Get mad at the party in power, your only option is the party out of power.
I think Trump is stopping the Republicans from having their red wave with probably a bit of a push from the J6 hearings. Going by the very low approval numbers of Biden and the Democrats in congress, the Republicans should be wiping the floor with Democratic fodder. Even with Biden’s approval rating at 39%, the democrats are looking at a 18-20 house seat lost and amazingly the real possibility of gaining a senate seat. The average house loss for a president whose approval is around 40% is 48 seats with 6 seats lost in the senate.
If Trump is the reason for limiting the damage of a president below 40% overall approval with the Democratic congress approval at a low 32%, I’d want to keep him around for 2024. The economy is bound to improve by then which may be enough, but to be safe, keep Trump around. He’s the best thing the Democrats have going for them, at least today. Many independents are hesitant in voting for a Trump backed candidate or a party’s candidate lead by Trump although they’re very dissatisfied and unhappy with Biden and the Democrats in congress. A prime example of the Trump factor is here in Georgia where Kemp is tied with Abrams at 48-48. Kemp being on Trump's s*** list. But Warnock leads Walker 54-44, Walker being Trump endorsed, a Trumper.
