Changing American Demographics: The Impact on Change

Nothing is going to disrupt the American political world unless and until people start listening and start marching to the beat of a different drum than the binging blitzkrieg barrage of media overkill that does nearly everything to create clouds of confusion days-in and days-out.
We are all too often left in a hazy daze of overload hitting us all the time from everywhere.

1. The liberal youth revolution
Millennial and Gen Z Americans are sticking with the Democratic Party as they move through adulthood. They're embracing "liberalism" and AOC-branded "socialism." 
If Democrats could only get them to the polls, they'd gain political power for the foreseeable future. . .
2. Older generations' growing voting power
The share of the electorate from older, more conservative generations is growing as the massive baby boomer generation ages and life expectancy rises.
3. A shrinking white America
America's majority minority future has elevated identity politics and immigration: 2020 will be the first time Hispanic voters make up the electorate's largest minority group.
4. The great rural exodus
The world is urbanizing, bringing housing, health care, transportation and energy concerns. Meanwhile, rural America is in the middle of a downward spiral.
 
5. Dying religion
Around a quarter of Americans are now unaffiliated with religion as the white Christian population — which is largely Republican — declines, according to Pew Research.
