MODERATORS
Yes, the bottom bar that also went for Trump based on the chart.
The only bottom bar that didn't go to Trump is women 50+, and they went +1% toward D.
Every other boomer cohort goes right (weirdly, to the left on the chart which is why I suspect it's been read incorrectly).
I said that they haven't been voting significantly more conservative than liberal. There's this notion that Republicans won because boomers so vote red, and younger generations all voting blue don't quite offset them. The reality is that, while more boomers voted red than blue, the difference isn't huge, and younger generations aren't all overwhelmingly blue either.
