Politics, public opinion, etc
If there is a lesson in that for the UK, I think it’s that young voters may be the group that can be moved the furthest and fastest.

What does this mean?

Non-grad and non-white voters have been moving right since at least 2016.

Young voters seem to be being swept along more easily by these demographic waves.

I wonder if that is not just the fickleness of youth, but the emergence of a more fluid outlook on politics.

It’s really an article about this chart (from AP VoteCast data), which I think shows three things:

1. The swing to Trump was powered by young people (under 45s and especially under 30s)

2. That swing was much bigger among young non-grads…

3. …and also among young non-white voters
