Thanks. Following-up on someone else’s comment: is it really just one generation that votes for Trump en masse? I see young and middle aged people (not irl) frequently advocating for him and his, uh, policies.
It’s more that older skew conservative, so a boomer is more likely statistically to be Republican, and they are also more likely to physically be able to vote in person, between the attacks on mail voting and election day not being holiday so most people 18-65 are working.
That said there exist younger fascists, but they are (a very vocal) minority of younger generations.
Others are disconnected from politics in ignorance or lack of time to pay attention.
The propaganda machines have been doing great work for fascism for the last 50 years
That all makes sense, especially what you said about the young vocal minority - i just thought they all looked identical but it’s probably the same few only that I routinely scroll past on feeds.

TBF, that last part about younger may be projection/my own echo chamber, plus I live on opposite side of country in an urban area.
