PRECISELY...good example.
Today’s elderly Democrat voters are voting for the Democrat Party of 40 to 50 years ago. They have an amazing ability to TOTALLY SHUT OUT who the Democrats are now and what they stand for.
The people you mention don’t have that brainwashing, despite the non-stop attempts by the left, particularly in our public schools. They do hate both parties, for differing reasons, but that also means they are not the one-for-one replacements for the Democrats that are dying off in big numbers now
It’s the reason, I’m convinced, that we’re seeing mass histrionics by the Progressive/Democrat establishment right now. We’re at a confluence of tipping points; one where the policies they’ve always wanted can be cemented, another where the public support they need to make it happen is on the verge of evaporating.
Case in point is Global Warming. Ok, let’s assume that it IS caused by humans and IS reversable. The younger generations will support all sorts of measures to combat it. Right up until the point where they’re told that as a result the price of electricity will skyrocket (necessarily) to where it’ll cost them dollars per minute to run (recharge) their iPhones.
At that point the Warmunists lose them.
Same thing with a whole host of other issues that involve the younger generations being informed, bluntly, what their “fair share” of the costs happen to be.
