Is it really regardless of age? As an extreme example: I'm pretty sure an average 5 year old is more susceptible to populism than an average 35 year old.

- michaelt 6y agoI just did a google image search for images of the US Capitol Riot from January this year, and it doesn't look like a particularly young crowd. Looks more middle-aged to me.
- justsid 6y agoThe 5 year old crowd kinda lacks the means of transportation to pull these kinda of things of. That doesn’t mean they are wiser than the capitol rioters, just that they have a harder time to do things by themselves. Middle-aged people have both the means to go to events and also the capital to do so.
