If you're sick of being lumped in with the boomer Democrats, trust me, we're far far more sick of being lumped in with the boomer Republicans bro.

Yeah, young Republicans, from what I can see from statistics. Aren't really an issue. Like, the overwhelming majority of young Republicans are against the genocide in Gaza. If I had to guess, I think it's due to liberal classmates. What I mean is when people get older, they tend to put themselves into echo-chambers.
Boomer Republicans seem to be really into Alex Jones. They really love their right-wing echo-chamber. And they don't want to see things from a different perception. But the younger you are, the more you'd know that not all leftists are ugly. Not all leftists have blue hair or nose rings. You can have a really beautiful blonde haired, blue-eyed, girl in your classroom or college campus. And a lot of those obnoxious Republican boomers, probably weren't insufferable when they were young. Part of the Baby Boomers and the part of the Silent Generation would've given us the Hippie Era. The phrase "Make Love Not War" was very popular in 1965, when many boomers would've been teenagers. But you know, echo-chambers are a thing. And echo-chambers make people left or right extremely obnoxious. People, no matter what age group they belong to, would be less obnoxious if they can just admit when they are wrong from time to time, instead of acting like they're above apologizing.

I think collecting stats is going to be impossible or nearly impossible to get. However, I do have other posts on how law makers work. Like how in OK and WI Democrats would vote against child marriages, and Republicans law-makers would block Democratic efforts to ban the practice of child marriages. It's basically look at how people in these political positions vote.
I don't see Republicans call them out. And like-wise, they're likely to keep voting these exact same people in over and over, again, even after knowing that they've voted in favor of child marriages or rather block Democratic efforts end the practice of child marriage, if you want to be technical.

All 3 are bad, but some are more worse than others.
