(22,114 posts)are older, and one guy in OP chain did provide charts of the demographics of tRUMP supporters (thanks by the way!) showing this to be true.
However, I think more than anything, age is not just the only criteria. You can break it down more so by geographical/region, and income too (I'm sure that there are other factors too).
I then remembered something my Mom said to me, that one reason that they moved to the country (rural Missouri) is because they could build their spanking brand new 2,500 sq. foot dream home there and live for a couple of hundred dollars a month, per my Dad telling my Mom!!!
At the time, we were talking about bills (utility, gasoline, etc.) and she brought this up, and I was shocked. I told her that surely she didn't believe this nonsense and that prices are not regional anymore, it's national more than likely, etc. By the way, they can't afford all of their health insurance either (just one of the two policies), so my Mom self-insures roughly $1,100 a month, an insane amount for insurance. My dad still voted rabidly repug thought, and one good note, Mom now votes democratic. It's heartbreaking that these guys/gals are finding out the tough truth in their twilight years...
