Trump's approval among people over 65 has plummeted significantly since earlier in March, according to new polls.

    What’s propping him up then, all the Gen Y and Gen Z males?

          Unfortunately:

          It was Generation X for the win in last week’s landslide victory for Republican Donald Trump over Democrat Kamala Harris.

          However, Millennials and Generation Z also shifted to the right.

          Only the Baby Boomer generation, which Trump is part of, moved slightly to the left since the 2020 election.

          Which sucks, because I remember the “slacker generation” being far more lefty in our youth. The social media virus is getting to some of us, as well, I guess.

        Gen X doesn’t do anything.

        GenX is the forgotten generation for a reason 😅

          It’s mostly a numbers game. Also, we came right after the boomers and they stole all the air out of the room for so long, we never really had our day in the sun. The “being centered generation” then skipped almost entirely to Gen Y and that’s all we heard about for quite some time until now Gen Z and alpha…
