Here’s my hunch which I’ve expressed before. Those of us born from 1940-1945, just older than baby boomers like Trump a lot. We were brought up when the US held great promise. We always expressed ourselves. Most of my peer group prepared for the future, yet we see our savings being decimated by near-zero interest rates and our safety nets unravelling And we vote!

Both my wife and I, and many of our friends, all born in early to mid 1960’s ALL like Trump. As a matter of fact, our voting age kids like him, too. A lot.

Excellent, grania. Thanks for the facts. Florida is full of retirees who have to be in trouble financially by now. They too have been handed all their retirement preparation back to them on a taco. It is a scandal.

And, they vote!

And, of course, Trump is a baby-boomer. Your post is excellent; I hadn’t thought of the baby boomers having one last shot at a great America.

Yep. And not just under Obama, but under Bush 43 too.

We also were raised to be very patriotic - right after WWII and Korea. DDE added "under God" to the pledge to separate us from communism.
