Trump's Youth Revolution
Column: How America's oldest president became a Gen Z icon
Donald Trump may be the oldest man elected president, but he leads a youth movement that will shape politics for decades to come. Trump shattered the cliché that Republicans are the party of seniors and Democrats the party of young people. And he's staffing his administration with men and women who will form the next GOP governing class. The Beltway is only beginning to grasp the implications. Young people not only define the cultural landscape. They carry the political categories they learn in their 20s for the rest of their lives. Such is the power of youth that even losing candidates who win over young people have lasting influence. The young people who worked on George McGovern's 1972 presidential campaign, such as Bill and Hillary Clinton, were the liberal future. Ron Paul's collegiate supporters in 2008 and 2012 previewed the anti-Establishment, anti-war GOP. And Bernie Sanders's bros and girls in 2016 and 2020 pointed toward the Democrats' coming lurch to the Left. When a youth-driven campaign wins power, the consequences are profound. Think JFK accepting the torch passed to a new generation of Americans. Or Reaganauts forging the doctrines that guided the GOP for 40 years. It turned out that 78-year-old Donald Trump would preside over the demographic transition that Barack Obama fans once dreamt of. Trump did more than turn the Republican Party into a multiracial working-class coalition. His time in the political wilderness gave the GOP a cutting edge.
