Actually, I did forget that, but Trump probably greets Tiffany like that because he forgets that this woman in front of him is his daughter. Meanwhile, he never forgets who Ivanka is. ---

I have no idea, come to think of it, how much it cost us. I’m assuming that there is a charge. I just know we are getting the median range price for the service we get.

I guess that’s right. The whole point though involves the usual confusion or lack of concern differentiating who is ‘alt right’ a ‘white nationalist’, a ‘conservative’ or ‘voted for Trump’. The first two are quite small subsets of the last category (except in bombastic rhetoric) and don’t necessarily overlap with the third. A lot of internet types self-proclaiming in the first two categories hate conservatives or ‘so called conservatives’ as they often call them. And Trump is not a conservative, though so far the major stuff he’s done (_done_, not said, nor proclaimed then been slapped down in court) has generally pleased conservatives. Anyway just in terms of age Trump had slightly less of an age skew in support than Romney, compare the relevant pages here > **[How Groups Voted in 2012 | Roper Center for Public Opinion Research](https://ropercenter.cornell.edu/how-groups-voted-2012)** > > DemographicGroupObamaRomneyTOTALAll VotersPct.51%47%SEXMen474552Women535544 Otherwise, yeah younger people tend to vote for the Democrats so the Democrats will rule all when those people get older…except if they get more conservative as they get older. Which isn’t exactly unknown. Or depending if/how much further left the Democrats go, or what the Republicans do, it’s like predicting the long term future of the price of oil ‘because it’s finite’. ---

Which isn’t exactly unknown. Or depending if/how much further left the Democrats go, or what the Republicans do, it’s like predicting the long term future of the price of oil ‘because it’s finite’. The latter is more likely than the former. People actually get more liberal as they get older, it’s just that society changes even faster and they look conservative by comparison. So it’s possible that the liberal party might swing left to accommodate the new most liberal 50-80% of the population, with the conservative party co-opting the former middle ground gradually until the slowly-liberalizing old folks suddenly find themselves _relatively_ conservative. ---

I think we’re on the same page, I was thinking that the middle actually continues to drift leftward as ensuing, more liberal, generations work their way down the timelines.
