"There will be a big senior-led backlash to Trump's embrace of lax Covid policies" struck me as a very plausible thesis about the 2020 election, but we now know that's not what happened and if anything the swing among older voters was *smaller* than among under-45s. https://t.co/8uK9qiKhsm — PolitiTweet.org

I think it's odd that there are people on here who spend a lot of time pretending to believe that it's senior citizens and people of color who are the core political constituency for very cautious Covid policy. https://t.co/3oDbvcC0ME — PolitiTweet.org

I don't really understand the particular dynamics through which Covid-caution went into the polarization blender and came out as falling on the exact same education/urbanization axis as everything else in the culture war goo but that's what happened. — PolitiTweet.org
