As evidenced by... the ever present red-scare in the US? It has been decades and people still going on with this bullshit.
It’s very easy to observe how older generations have a hard time getting rid of their zeitgeist.
This doesn’t mean they suck, because there are things that lose impact over time and older generations are the to say: listen, it was way worse then it seems, I was still a child when that atomic bomb fell and the repercussions were immense.
So I think they are valuable voters, but because they’re scam-resistant. On the contrary, they’re historically charged and can help us remember relevant stuff, but their emotionally bagged opinions are almost immutable and a vulnerability.
