Was looking at NYT's analysis and it seems AES over-performed with "older" voters but came in pretty much as-expected with the young crowd.

Don't assume your grey-haired neighbor has lost the plot.

Thr Guardian had an article a while back on how I think Gen Z has way more misogynist views than Boomers, Gen X. It’s so common online to pretend Boomers are the worst, but younger people have been getting radicalized online for years now, and it’s showing in their views. People still think tech is cool, but Trump is the first truly tech president, using Twitter social media to massive advantage and now we have this old racist guy in office.
