    That’s what shocked me last No Kings protest. I saw tons of older folks and even some people I know are die-hard conservative Republicans with signs out in the middle of town.

    Things are worse than Trump and the beltway oligarchs know. Gilded fishbowls and all that.

      At least some of the demographics is likely because older folks often have more free time to be able to get out and protest, but I know an awful lot of passionately liberal boomers.

      And you’re right, now that conservatives are being undeniably impacted, it seems that their support of Trump might be faltering.
