(32,153 posts)and I totally agree with you - my husband and I are probably the generation behind you and about the same. Working hard, driving our older cars to get our kids through college, saving for retirement. We've flown first class exactly once in the past 20 years, and only because I had leftover miles from canceled pandemic trips so I was able to do an upgrade. Which isn't even all that impressive to the uber wealthy with their private jets.
But the other part of MAGA is the evangelicals, and Donald definitely has his pulse on them, even if he can't hold a bible right side up. He's got them convinced he will put in people they want - and he did it with the Supreme Court. They are a weird crowd to be sure, a lot of them don't have much money to speak of so you'd think they'd look at dem policies. But they are too worried about their guns and controlling women's bodies.
