I don't think this is a generational issue anymore, personally.
Donald being able to diversify and expand his coalition tells me that, whether it's Fox News or TikTok, digital radicalization is working across multiple generational boundaries in order to produce the desired result for extremists. (Dems choices to leave people in poverty when they had power figures into this as well, but not as much as people being able to find radicalizing content in their pocket every moment of every day.)

I was intrigued to see this issue written about in an international context, as usually, the articles I see on this are US-centric and from right-wing sources who really, really want the poors to birth the next generation of exploitable labor and inexplicably ignore that the people they want to birth and parent these children are themselves being exploited and exceedingly impoverished too.
For me that ship sailed after Charlottesville. At some point cancer has to be recognized for what it is, and as we saw with ISIS, most of the world seems to find regulation of social media acceptable when it's done to curb terrorist ideologies.
