Until your post most of what I’ve been reading follows the above, with the biggest shifts to Trump starting with Millenials and the youngest generations. Bizarre and counterintuitive but there it is.
The main byline is Biden didn’t magically fix the economy (for working class, the economy is great if you make over $400k) in 4 years so they switched sides.
X just kinda sits where they are, like gargoyles, and doesn’t change much.
That is simultaneously the best and worst take on why gen x broke so hard for trump and ushered in a dystopia.
The 18-29 male demographic swung it. That and non voters.
And let’s not forget all the people who sat out or spite voted for Trump because if Israel. Clearly that worked in their favor.
I will always blame people who voted for trump over the other two (well, three, whatever you divide the non republican/democratic votes) categories.
As for the ages, genx was the big one. Here’s a pretty good article with even more polls and studies backing up the influence of gen x on the 2024 election: https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2022/05/20/cherie-westrich-alt-rock-gen-x-maga-00033769
