Could The new Generation be the GOPs biggest threat?

The New Generation, according to one study, overwhelmingly supported Biden over Trump in this years election with 65% of them supporting Biden. Younger generations support Democrat Candidates way over Republican Candidates, especially Donald Trump, where in one poll conducted, only 20% of Gen Z approved of his presidency. Its obvious The New Generation is increasingly Liberal, with very basic liberal views. Once The Majority of Gen Z reaches voting age, It could be a complete disaster for The Republican Party. This effect might’ve already kicked in, as the GOP has failed to win The Popular vote since 2004 Another poll conducted shows that 81% of Gen Z support The BLM protests and overall movement. But, there remains a question. Will the generation continue having their liberal views, or will it eventually fade out as they get older? We know that younger people vote democrat and older people vote republican, but what exactly does that mean? Does it only mean The Old people of today are more likely to vote red, or the older you get, no matter what generation, the more likely you are to vote red? We aren’t really sure as we haven’t seen The Newer Generation fully grow up yet. But, if we look at millennials (who are born between 1981 and 1996, making the age range 24–39) 53% still support Biden, while 40% don’t. And for Gen X, 49% support Biden and 46% support Trump. So, traditionally, Kids may seem more liberal but as they age, they slowly evolve into Republicans. And that might apply for the kids of today. And, we have to remember that not every republican candidate is not Donald Trump, and not every republican is a Trump Supporter, so The Numbers of Younger people supporting GOP candidates may be higher. We will have to wait and see for ourselves if The New Generation ages and loses their liberal democrat views.
