The left was saying the same thing in ’68. “The baby boomer generation is going to overthrow the establishment. Conservatism is finished.” They had it all figured out. They even got the voting age reduced to 18 to speed the inevitable. And yet… Nixon was re-elected in a landslide in ’72 against McGovern. If Nixon hadn’t destroyed himself, I don’t think that Carter ever would have been elected. After the Carter disaster, Americans (including the boomers elected conservatives for twelve straight years. Then a centrist Democrat. Then eight more years of conservatives. Drum’s wishful thinking won’t change anything.
