Ironically, if the GOP were to do nothing else but simply run a national campaign pushing an immigration moratorium and tie it to housing, and just hammer that constantly, it would probably see a major increase with almost every major demographic -- including Gen Z and Millennials. Obviously there is plenty more that could be done but that alone would be transformative. Dems would be at a major disadvantage.
Right on, thank you for this. GOP Emphasis on how migrants degrade essential services ala wilders could help a lot: ERs a mess bc migrants want care, hard to get an apt / buy a house bc of migrants taking up space, schools devoting scarce resources to migrants and ESL children, etc. Basically middle class now has to “insulate” itself (thru privatization) from every experience in USA to live a middle class lifestyle. Not sure if zoomers encounter all of these things in daily life yet but millennials do
Housing is a big problem on the U.S. right now also. Being able to own one's own home is out of reach both for today's youth and middle aged alike without putting oneself into serious debt. Independence and freedom is a big deal among working young people, even among more left leaning types. Not that I think these would ever vote (R), but when in tradeschool one of the first things we would talk about once out of school and working is getting a house and what it would look like.
