    Boomers weren’t the ones who elected Reagan, they were at most 35 at the time.

    That’s the president that started to fuck things up and it was just the same as usual, older people being more conservative, younger people not showing up to vote.

      Both your links gave me 404 errors

      They were almost all able to vote in 1980 at 16- 34, and made up a large portion of the population then in 84 they were all able to vote and saw what actions he took the previous election and voted for him more…

        Don’t know why the links don’t work 🤷

        If you look at the actual numbers you realize that it’s the people that were older that voted in majority for Reagan and the % of registered electors and voters was higher for older populations.
