The most conservative cohort of living Americans are late Boomers/early GenXers. Those late Boomers are into their 70s now. So the next 10-15 years of retirees will be pretty conservative and drive places with high retire populations like FL and AZ to be redder than they otherwise would have been.

I don't know how you define "late Boomers" but we are not in our 70s yet. People born in 1954 or before are 70 and over. Any birth year after that we are in our 60s. As much as it pains me to think of my generation as the most conservative one still around, don't make me older than I am! I was born in 1958 and am age 66. Barack Obama (1961), Kamala Harris and Tim Walz (both 1964) are all late boomers...
I agree completely; I was born in 1965(which I believe is considered the first year of Generation X);apologies if I am wrong but I am thinking our group is the most conservative up until those born around 1972(I would say those born from around 1956-1972)
The second half off the boomers so 1955-1964. So the oldest late Boomers will be 70 next year. So you are right - I was a little ungenerous in my estimate.
