That's not to say younger progressives are in any way keen on Trump -- just that they're more skeptical of the hysterics and doomsaying.

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)

Younger people are simultaneously more Democratic, more liberal, and more anti-Hillary.

"more liberal" is not quite how I'd put it.
