Weren’t Millennials supposed to be Evangelical right wingers?
I do vaguely recall that talking point now. It was basically based on drawing trends from data points and assuming those trends would continue indefinitely.

Of course this fallacy shows up here a lot too.
Bush actually did win with young voters while loosing with old voters in 2000, but I suspect that’s because young voters feared Tipper and Lieberman, not because they liked Bush’s evangelicalism.

I realize its an important issue for you but it's a bit niche in the context of presidential elections.
Why else would young voters be more Republican than old voters? Also, 2000 was a time of good economy, no war, crime rates had fallen, etc.
