Exactly. No matter the exact form that it takes, there will always be a younger and/or more affluent portion of the electorate that leans left and the older and usually less affluent/urban (but not necessarily poor) that leans right. Neither part of the population is going to cease to exist. It just happens that in a given election, one candidate swings the balance one way or the other.
