    The 1960s had political engagement and division, no one’s denying that.

    However it was surpassed in 2020 which was a record year for turnout of 66.8% of eligible voters. Specifically, 90.6% of eligible women were registered, and about 68.4% of them actually voted. Women outpaced men in both categories. Young voters, especially young women, were a big part of that surge.

    Trump lost big then, imagine now with all the news about record registrations how much he might lose by now. Personally I think it would be very funny to see Harris break 100M votes,. Can you imagine how angry Trump would be :)
