I mean wasn’t that a large part of the reasoning behind the “alt-right” branding in the early days? To scoop up young people disillusioned with the GOP’s old-fart conservatism but who still held reactionary sympathies?

I'd also like to note that I was a climate-change denier as a teenager because I disliked Al Gore and reacted accordingly. I grew out of it eventually, but most conservatives still cling to that nonsense nearly 20 years later.

I didn't have any real political views when I was a teenager (too busy working to get into university to pay attention to the real world). Finally in my early 20s I started becoming politically aware, now in my late 30s I am pretty left-wing.
