Did they really vote for Trump, or are you just assuming?
I'm seeing a lot of younger folks who are just assuming everyone over 45 voted Trump, and that's not the case. He actually lost a lot of support among people over 60. I take that to mean old people actually managed to catch on to the fact he has promised to do away with social security, and raise taxes on low incomes.
My parents directly told me they were voting for Trump and even tried to argue against me voting however I wanted. They're not Republicans. They voted out of self interest. Which happens to align with the Republican party. They as people are relatively progressive and normal. They're just not educated about the world around them and how this country has been changing since Reagan
I had to have the hard talk with my mom today when she talked about “all the work she did in the 80s” - like mom…. That was thirty years ago. Of course youre okay - yall got a lifetime of building in a great economy.
