The young have a lot to be resentful about, but I think it's a mistake to assume their resentment is the familiar one of economic decline and disadvantage.

In fact, continued study of Trump's disciples has pretty well debunked the first easy explanation that they were driven by that economic dislocation resentment. Their mainspring is social issues, neatly encapsulated for them, after a quarter century of concentrated propaganda, as "#liberaltears". They lazily define themselves as simply the anti-liberals.

Which is a problem for Republicans, and perhaps, for your thesis. Because the "young" generations--the oldest of whom are by now facing middle age--are diverse and tolerant and less racist and misogynist than...hell, you've read me saying this many times, the young match the profile that you and I like to think of as "liberal", though they themselves have a healthy skepticism of old dogmas and would reject the label.

But not the beliefs. Oh yeah, Millenials et al have plenty to be resentful about, but I think a critical mass of them resent the attack on their values by the Trumpublicans, and recognize that their dismal economic prospects were wrought by conservative economic policies.

I'm counting on the power of their resentment.

And the correctness of their aim.
