That doesn't necessarily mean that those kids will also be republican. Young people continuously move more to the left.

After all, the jokes about no politics at Thanksgiving has a lot to do with much more conservative old people having different ideas than the youth

And then to the right as they get older. A surprising number of British politicians on the right were Marxists in their youth.

> Now, though, there is no confusion: Generation X is safely Republican. One model from 2014 measuring only white voters through the 2012 election shows those born in the mid-to-late 1960s being the most Republican-leaning of all, more so than the older Boomers and Silent generation.
