The New York Times published an article by writer Jeremy Peters, attacking conservatives and suggesting that the pandemic will lead to a shift in political power away from Republicans. Peters cites the book “Generations” by William Strauss and Neil Howe, which predicted an unspecified calamity in 2020. Howe also predicted a generational realignment that does not bode well for President Trump and the Republicans. The article criticizes the individualism championed by Baby Boomers and Generation X, which has led to a lax attitude towards the coronavirus. The text also suggests that younger Republicans want more government intervention in areas such as trade and finance. Ultimately, the article posits that the pandemic could end the brand of conservatism that has thrived during the Baby Boomer’s time in power.
