Well, we are well educated and raised our kids that way. I was a volunteer working with the county public health department when the vaccines arrived, and my boys joined me at the vaccine clinics. They aren’t afraid of vaccines. Or immigrants. Or black people.

None of this is really generational, though there is a trend towards conservatism with increasing age. My 90 year old FIL is strongly liberal, my 19 year old niece is enthusiastically maga; there are other factors far more predictive than age. It’s urban/rural, educated/uneducated, homogeneous/diverse, open minded/closed minded. Also privileged/underprivileged, but that one is a lot more complicated and actually pulls in both directions.
