Yes but look at that curve. We also don’t have any data prior to people born in 1961. Those born in the 60s and 70s were raised on turbo McCarthyism. Those like myself born in the late 80s also grew up with it, but it had already begun to be sort of absurd and tired and a lot of us witnessed the fall of the Soviet Union and what happened afterward. Also if you were an American there is a good chance you had a grandparent like me who was in both WWII and the Korean war and if they weren’t a total fascist they were ashamed and haunted by the latter and some of that might go down stream generationally. That brings us to the 90s kids who were born at the beginning of the end of history when all that red scare stuff was finally cooling to a simmer.
All the radicals in the west had been pacified, the BPP destroyed, and China opening up as the Soviet Union fell. This is also just on the heels of the Soviet Afghan war and then the rise of the Taliban and the first Iraq war. The new Big Bad boogeyman was now Islamic terrorism. Now a bunch of these kids have grown up watching the end of the end of history and the geopolitical landscape suddenly and violently lurch back into volatile upending first with 9/11, and again with the Russian SMO and the escalation of Genocide in Israel, and now most recently with the ICE escalation.
One thing is undeniably clear: This is all connected and has been the right wing agenda all along and Democrats have proven time and again that they are complicit. The last time they did anything good was the civil rights act and even that is basically completely undermined at this point.
Lastly if this trend continues then those people will be a growing majority and that is a very good thing.
i’m convinced that this trend was fueled by the likes of tiktok and that the trend will start to reversed once the oligarchy figures out how to make social media just as captured as legacy media.

TikTok has only existed for a tiny fraction of this timeline.
“the likes of tiktok” means that it’s only an example.
It was also something most of them had to be dragged to, kicking and screaming
