5/🧵 Race divides the Democratic Party more than it does Republicans. Young Republicans remain almost as racially resentful as older Republicans. But among Democrats and independents, massive shifts. White Gen Z independents have lower racial resentment than Boomer Democrats.
Racial Resentment Among White Americans by Age and Party A single line chart showing racial resentment scores for White Americans by birth year (1940–2000) split by party identification: Republican (orange), Independent (yellow), and Democrat (blue). Y-axis shows resentment levels; X-axis shows birth year and approximate ages. Republicans have the highest resentment across all cohorts, with scores increasing sharply among older generations and stabilizing at high levels. Independents occupy the middle, with a steady rise from younger to older cohorts. Democrats remain lowest, rising gradually among older birth years but maintaining a wide gap from Republicans and Independents. Shaded confidence bands widen for older cohorts.

4/🧵 The generational shift isn't just among white Americans. Young Asian and Hispanic Americans show the same pattern: dramatic declines in racial resentment across education, gender, geography, and religion. This is a broad, multi-racial generational transformation.
Racial Resentment Among Hispanic and Asian Americans by Birth Year and Demographics This figure contains four line charts showing racial resentment scores (standardized 2-item scale) across birth years from 1940 to 2000 among Hispanic and Asian Americans, with separate trendlines for demographic subgroups. Y-axis ranges from low to high resentment; X-axis shows birth year with approximate ages. Education panel: Two lines show that non-college individuals consistently report higher racial resentment than college-educated individuals. Both groups trend upward from younger to older cohorts, with the gap largest among older generations. Gender panel: Male and female lines rise gradually with older cohorts. Males show slightly higher resentment than females across most cohorts, though the gap narrows among older groups. Geography panel: Four regional lines (South, West, Midwest, Northeast) show modest differences. The South and Midwest trend slightly higher than the West and Northeast, and all regions show increasing resentment among older cohorts. Religion panel: Protestants display the highest resentment levels, followed by Catholics. Non-affiliated respondents have the lowest and flattest trend, with little increase across cohorts. Protestants show the steepest age-related rise. At the bottom, the source notes this is from the 2024 Cooperative Election Study (CES) using GAM-smoothed trendlines.

Well, he did ramble a bit. And 5 is far from my favorite, despite the obbligato.

100%. Bandcamp is also a good place to find new indie music of all genres.
