That’s an inaccurate generalization. The more likely scenario is that only about half of the people affected voted for Trump. There are a lot of innocent people getting fucked here.

Good. These dumbasses mostly voted for this, and they’re getting their reward.

Exactly.
But try hammering that through a partisan’s skull. Very difficult.

I feel bad for the children who aren’t old enough to do anything about it, but Trump is the symptom not the disease, which has been metastasizing as long as I’ve been alive.

Actually, boomers are mostly leftist. It's the young who are really flocking to the right these days.
The boomers voted Republican for more tax cuts during their prime earning years, but now they're all collecting government benefits so they're Democrats again. It was their biggest voting bloc in the last election.
It's actually the case around the world that the youth, and particularly young men, are shifting hard right.

You’re underestimating that generation’s ability to hate non-white people. A lot of them care about that hatred enough to sabotage themselves in other ways.

Looking at the exit polling, it’s pretty split with the 65+ crowd. Democrats lost a lot of young voters, but still have the majority of the youth.
