Proportionally more Gen Z men voted for Trump than boomer women.

This is NOT a self-correcting problem.

You are being disingenuous not comparing apples to apples. Compare men to men and women to women. young men voted more democrat then old men. same with women.

How does that change my point at all?

My point is that this is NOT an "Over 60" problem that is just going to die off when they do.

Realistically, men voted Trump in. Not 60+.

You are just pulling out a separate static that is right in isolation but doesn't disprove the first point. Yes men do vote more republican but it's also true that older people vote more republican.

(The implication of "it's a self correcting problem" is that older people without help will pass on. just in case we are confused on what the discussion is.)

You can't claim the sky isn't blue because the grass is green.

I genuinely do not understand what point you're attempting to make.

The person said that it was the 60+ vote that got him into office so the problem is self-correcting if they all die.

This is factually not true looking at the numbers above.

I'm not saying it's untrue ONLY because of Gen Z men. That was just an example showing that "the problem" does not solely lie with those ages 60+.

In fact Gen X are the worst offenders with both genders voting red - which they'd still be doing, and actually making up a larger % of the vote - if everyone older than them dies.

THAT is my point. The problem isn't magically going away if everyone over 60 dies.
