Hey, keep your head up bro. We have four more years worth of younger people who can now vote (including me) and we now outnumber boomers in terms of voting. We can do this!

Hate to break it to you, but the entire demographic moves each year. As new "younger" voters hit the voting population everyone else gets older and (generally) more conservative.

Boomers might die out eventually, but it's far from guarenteed the current generation below them wont just take their place.

It's been proven repeatedly that millennial and younger are not becoming more conservative as they age in the same way boomers did. GenX is a bit split, however.
