Media turning white women against white men; young people against old people??

DIVIDE ET IMPERA

The Media keeps saying the GOP is the party of white men. And they usually add the words "angry" and "old". But suddenly, when they talk about women and young people, journalists become race and gender-neutral. So we read things like these:

"Obama's reelection marks a turning point in American politics: With the growing power of minorities, women and gays, it's the end of the world as straight white males know it."

"No country for angry old white men"

"No longer your father's electorate"

"Women and minorities to the left; white men to the right"

"Dear Republicans, This is Not Your Parents' White House"


But, according to the 2012 national exit poll, the gap is not that huge:

White men: 62% for Romney
White women: 56% for Romney (best result since Reagan 84)

White 30-44 year old: 59% for Romney
White 45-64 year old: 61% for Romney
White 65+ year old: 61% for Romney


The left-leaning gender gap is not uncommon in Europe; sure is not a U.S.-only phenomenon. And the age gap too, of course.

A recent UK poll:
"Female support for the Conservatives is plummeting as among women 26 per cent more would vote for Labour - 51 to 25 - whereas Labour only get seven per cent more support from men - 36 to 29."
Note: UK conservatives have passed gay marriage

As a Republican, I can say I think the party has to do some work to improve its "old stuffed-shirt" image ... but on the other hand, the Democratic party could do some "cleaning up" as well.

Personally, I would like to see some younger faces in Congress. I would like to see term limits as well. Some politicians have made a life-time career of being politicians and absolutely refuse to step down gracefully rather than turn the reins over to someone else. They either need to be voted out of office, shamed out of office or die before they're out. Being a Congressman or Congresswoman should be a matter of privilege and honor - not a matter of personal political or other gain. Generally speaking, politicians are somewhere south of used car salesmen and skunks when it comes to approval ratings.

The GOP men need to reach out to the women and youth, yes.

The only significant voting gap is the racial/ethnic gap. Gender and age gaps between white voters are not that huge.

Gender and age voting gaps are absolutely normal and structural in any developed nation. Older people and men tend to be more conservative.

The GOP has a huge problem with minorities and non-whites.

Thank you for confirming my point.

Is it the GOP's fault or is it the minorities and/or the non-whites fault ? They make all sorts of claims these minorities and non-whites do as you refer to them, but are they true or are they false (i.e. are they simply trying to gain power against a supposed foe in which they hate), these minorities and non-whites ?

Is there an agenda for take over one day by many of them and their thinking in such a way, and if so does this make the whites the biggest fools ever for helping them throughout the years ?
