Noticing a generational divide: older progressives more inclined to view Trump as a world-historic threat, younger progressives less alarmed

A twitter interlocutor suggests this may have to do with media consumption habits; TV fosters alarmism, internet fosters skepticism. Maybe.
-
Younger Bernie people have been immersed in an alternative, sub rosa media ecosystem that constantly streams them stories on HRC corruption.
-
So they are more inclined to see parity in the danger posed by HRC versus the danger posed by Trump. (This cuts across gender and race, BTW)

We've been at war basically my entire adult life. Folks younger basically only know us at war. So there's that.

Yeah, that's got to be part of it. Under 30s don't know anything but constant war.

Lots of young progressives weren't even real adults for much of the Bush years. Or weren't old enough to see it.
