I agree that over the long term Dems have an enormous demographic advantage. It's just that Republicans are holding almost every card right now and things are looking colossally ****ed for a lot of people in the short run.
Also, there's the whole Overton Window thing. Like, for those of us who remember a pre-Fox News media landscape, the idea that tampering down Alex Jones and going back to a 2000's-era Fox News is a victory is terrifying. I guess that's an improvement, but it's crazy to think of that kind of thing as normal.
