A lot has happened in four years. A lot has happened in ten years. When I started in EMS in 2007, we were hauling WW-II vets every day from hip and knee replacement surgery to the rehab hospitals. By the time I retired from EMS in 2018, hardly EVER did we see a WW-II vet. Even at the Dem convention, the old fellow they wheeled up from WW-II was damn near too young! He only made one jump into Europe and then the European theater was over.
My point is that even four years ago, there were LOTS of old white folks voting for Trump. Lots of change since then. The voting (non-voting?) behavior of the younger cohorts may well change the view from 30,000 feet this election. Union guys from the halcyon 1950's are scarcer. Even Viet Nam vets are starting to die off. One thing for sure, we may well be playing with the right model of history here!
