Here is a look at the American electorate by ethnicity and generation. A look at this article will explain why it is important to take the government back and keep the republicans out of power for a few election cycles, fortunately Donald and the years of scandal investigations and court cases to come should take care of most of that, and unfortunately the hundreds of thousands of deaths will be hard to forget as well.

An early look at the 2020 electorate
JANUARY 30, 2019
The 2020 U.S. presidential election is rapidly coming into view – and so is the electorate that will determine its outcome.
While demographic changes unfold slowly, it’s already clear that the 2020 electorate will be unique in several ways. Nonwhites will account for a third of eligible voters – their largest share ever – driven by long-term increases among certain groups, especially Hispanics. At the same time, one-in-ten eligible voters will be members of Generation Z, the Americans who will be between the ages 18 and 23 next year. That will occur as Millennials and all other older generations account for a smaller share of eligible voters than they did in 2016.
How Pew Research Center defines the electorate
What might these demographic shifts mean politically? In 2016, nonwhite voters were more likely to back Democrat Hillary Clinton, while white voters were more likely to back Republican Donald Trump. Younger generations, meanwhile, differ notably from older generations in their views on key social and political issues. It remains unclear how these patterns might factor into the 2020 election and, as always, a great deal will depend on who turns out to vote.
More Hispanic than black eligible voters
We project that the 2020 election will mark the first time that Hispanics will be the largest racial or ethnic minority group in the electorate, accounting for just over 13% of eligible voters – slightly more than blacks. This change reflects the gradual but continuous growth in the Hispanic share of eligible voters, up from 9% in the 2008 presidential election and 7% in the 2000 election. The black eligible voter population has grown about as fast as the electorate overall, meaning their share has held constant at about 12% since 2000.
In raw numbers, a projected 32 million Hispanics will be eligible to vote in 2020, compared with 30 million blacks. The population of Asians eligible to vote will reach an estimated 11 million in 2020, which is more than double the 5 million who were eligible to vote in 2000, accounting for 5% of next year’s electorate.
Taken together, this strong growth among minority populations means that a third of eligible voters will be nonwhite in 2020, up from about a quarter in 2000. This increase is at least partially linked to immigration and naturalization patterns: One-in-ten eligible voters in the 2020 election will have been born outside the U.S., the highest share since at least 1970.
Voter turnout will play an important role in determining the relative electoral influence of different racial and ethnic groups. For example, while Hispanics will outnumber blacks among eligible voters next year, they may not actually cast more ballots than blacks due to different turnout patterns. In recent presidential elections, blacks were substantially more likely than Hispanics to vote. Indeed, the number of Hispanic eligible voters who didn’t vote has exceeded the number of those who did vote in every presidential election since 1996.
Still, the changing racial and ethnic composition of the electorate likely has political implications in part because nonwhites have long been significantly more likely than whites to back Democratic candidates. For instance, in the 2016 election, white voters favored Donald Trump by a 15 percentage point margin, while large majorities of blacks and Hispanics voted for Hillary Clinton.
Generational shifts
Another important long-term trend is the overall aging of the electorate. In 2020, nearly a quarter of the electorate (23%) will be ages 65 and older, the highest such share since at least 1970. This reflects not only the maturation of the large Baby Boom generation but also increased life expectancy among older Americans.
Baby Boomers and older generations, who will be ages 56 and older next year, are expected to account for fewer than four-in-ten eligible voters in 2020. This is a significant change from 2000, when nearly seven-in-ten eligible voters (68%) were Boomers, Silents or members of the Greatest Generation (collectively, those ages 36 and older at the time). Even as recently as 2012, when the youngest Boomer was 48 years old, Boomer and older generations were about half of the electorate (49%).
The next presidential election will also mark the first time that Millennials (who will be ages 24 to 39 in 2020) will account for a slightly smaller share of the electorate than they represented in the last presidential election. The raw number of Millennials eligible to vote is increasing due to foreign-born Millennials naturalizing to become citizens. But the Millennial share of the electorate has peaked as they are not growing as fast as the electorate overall.
Meanwhile, the leading edge of Generation Z (people ages 18 to 23 in 2020) is projected to comprise one-in-ten eligible voters, up from just 4% in 2016, when the vast majority were too young to cast ballots. These post-Millennials are on track to be more racially and ethnically diverse than their predecessors: In 2020, Gen Z eligible voters are expected to be 55% white and 45% nonwhite, including 21% Hispanic, 14% black, and 4% Asian or Pacific Islander. By comparison, the Boomer and older electorate is projected to be about three-quarters white (74%).
Differences in turnout rates again matter when talking about generations and should be kept in mind as election season gets underway. Since older adults are more likely to turn out to vote, it’s possible that older generations will form a larger share of actual voters in 2020 than their share in the electorate. That’s what happened in 2016: Even though Boomers and older generations accounted for 43% of eligible voters, they cast 49% of the ballots.

Trump is an imbecile, he proved it repeatedly on national TV, only a moron could not see it, Donald couldn't run a stick up a cows arse and it's painfully obvious. There is no choice in 2020 for a patriot or an American with a brain. How about you?

Oh, and BTW: Trump is a traitor and Biden is not, see the difference? Do you know the difference between right and wrong? Good and evil? Patriotism and betrayal? Competence and incompetence?
it was his friend, 'jim'.
yes, he's the most perfect person..if we agree with will he go away?

Have you actually look at his 'businesses'?
They are all just shell companies and property. Something to get a LLC and wash all that foreign dictator money after he lost all of his daddies.
Notice the same names over and over just with slight variations. All this shows is that Trump paid lawyers to do a lot of paperwork for him.
He is just a spoiled rich old man who never had to work for what he had because daddy gave him over a million dollars by age 8.
The only real job he has had is POTUS and he is out of his depth and has only been worried about his re-election since the day he was sworn in, and has done a horrendous job, tanked our economy (We were in a recession by February prior to him calling the pandemic) with all his whining shutting down the government during the holiday,s and stupid trade wars that he lost even though our economy is far larger than China's, because he is stupid and surrounds himself with moronic trolls. He is wasting billions of our tax dollars to build three damn miles of new wall.
You are right, not the same by a mile, I would defiantly vote for Paris Hilton over Trump. At least Paris Hilton has had a successful business.

Hitler ended in a bunker , jus sayin
this is from a 'neighborhood' app check it:
A little courtesy please??? Dear friends and neighbors, I’m sure there are a million reasons that folks aren’t wearing masks while out and about these days - all of them legitimate. Please, please, be considerate of others who you encounter on the sidewalks. If you are not wearing a mask and are approaching someone on the sidewalk how about giving them the right of way rather than forcing them to make a choice on whether or not they want to risk their health? If someone is approaching you and they’re wearing a mask and you are not, please be considerate - give them the right of way - give them the sidewalk. Don’t force them onto the street. This will probably elicit some strong responses. I’m just asking for some common courtesy for all of us. Thank you, and have a blessed day.
ANSWER Courtesy would be to not bring this subject up on this platform (again). Obviously, we all feel differently. If you’re still living in fear, please stay home, watch the news, wear the mask and breathe your own carbon dioxide. I prefer to direct my anger at the legislation being passed while we are avoiding one another and not talking - mandatory vaccines, 5G, iPhone updates with contact tracing....Big Brother is here! I guess vaccines are like the “one way mask” concept. Everyone must have one or they don’t work.
ANSWER Or not. People really need to stop telling everyone else what to do. Conduct your business as you see fit. If you are approaching me and I don't have a mask on - take whatever actions make YOU feel comfortable. I am not responsible for your needs - only YOU are.
4 days ago
ANSWER So there will be a time when masks are not required. What will everyone do without the false sense of security? Will the mask shaming and entitlement stop then?? PLEASE just do you and don't expect people to care/protect you. I would never think to myself that someone not wearing a mask should move aside so I can walk on through. JUST DO WHAT IS RIGHT FOR YOU!! And, I hope you all have a great day doing it
so, no one should change offensive behaviour for you because you're the one finding it offensive. YOU NEED TO CHANGE.

5 minutes on the White House lawn should be enough to give him a haircut and a month's worth of exercise, as he tries to dodge the drone and the secret service trying to shoot it down! Lucky for him they've got RF jammers...

The fact that podium was probably not sanitized
