      The 70+ age group was the one the AfD performed worst in. It’s young people voting fascist here in Germany, the old folks vote CDU because that’s what they’ve always done.

        And this is the most scary part of it. Specially that it isn’t just France or Germany but pretty much across the board young people voted for biggest populists out there.

        I just want to quickly add it isn’t just “young people”, it’s young men. Women are still heavily left but 20-something men want to give the 1930s a try again.

      They actually don’t, on average they actually become slightly more progressive. However, rich people are conservative and rich people live longer.
