That ship has sailed. In the olden days, most kids were off their parents teat by 18 years old. Now it’s more like 25, but since 21 seems to be the “consensus” age for adult activities (drinking, smoking, etc), why not set that as the age of adulthood? At least it’ll reduce the number of liberal kids voting.

With the possible exception going to those serving in the Armed Forces, where the age of adulthood would be 18.

Most still are. What is true is that more young people are living with their parents than their partners. For First Time In 130 Years, More Young Adults Live With Parents Than With Partners

Pew notes that this is not a record high percentage for the number of young people living at home — in 1940, for instance, approximately 35 percent of people in that age range lived at home.

The ship that has sailed is the change of the voting age from 21 to 18. There is no way that gets reversed. The 26th Amendment to the Constitution will not be repealed.

At least it’ll reduce the number of liberal kids voting.

By 2019, next year, half of the children 18 and under will be minorities. The majority of children under one are now minorities. Each cohort that turns 18 every year is composed of a higher percentage of minorities. By 2043 non-Hispanic whites will be 50% of the population, compared to 63% today, and 89% in 1970. So it really doesn't matter whether the age to vote is 18 or 21, the majority of them will be voting Dem.
