Guess I can’t talk. Gen X was one of the biggest trump supporters, but knowing my cohort I just assumed they were all a bunch of leftover homophobes and racists like a lot of our parents were. I was mostly the same but I also have AuDHD and have an incredibly difficult time with hypocrisy and injustice, so things like religion or anyone claiming superiority over others, regardless of reason, while being an absolute tool themselves really turned me off to the whole racist and homophobic social standards of the day. Took a few years to get away from the casual, unthinking racism - not actually being hard core racist, but the casual kind where you told racist jokes and made sweeping judgements about a group while still maybe going to school with them them and getting along just fine.
