    This is the analogy I use.

    Remember those high school seniors who were bullies to everyone and treated the teachers like garbage? The ones who know they were destined to work shitty jobs or join the military because they’d never go to college or get a good trade.

    That’s your Trump voter. They know their way of life has peaked. They are too old, too dumb, or too stubborn to adapt to a changing world. They want coal plants and big gas guzzling cars because that’s what they want

      If you add that these bullies were given high-paying blue collar jobs, cheap houses, and wives to abuse freely, it’s no longer an analogy. The Trumpist boomers literally had this happen. When this system broke they reacted to it like the selfish, hateful idiots they are.

        Don’t kid yourself.

        Trump has support across all age groups.

        Go back to 'Gamergate" and you’ll see how the Right created the incel movement.
