So if you break up Trump supporters by age, and this is what Politico did as well, that more than two thirds of those over 35 think Trump has a plan when it's less than half of those under 35, two thirds of older MAGA men were willing to sacrifice American lives in Iran compared with less than half of younger MAGA men.

If you get your news on television or through Facebook,

Kind of in the old economy.

And the old economy looks a lot like what Marjorie Taylor Greene is saying about Fox.

But if you're younger, you're not watching cable the same way young people, forget MAGA, no young people are watching cable.

So where are you getting your news?

You're consuming it from digital right-wing news, which is much less interventionist, much more heterodox generally.

And-

So because it's an older coalition, a huge shift amongst younger supporters might not show as big of an impact in the polls, but it does represent where they're headed.

And I think the thing that's interesting about what you're seeing here at CPAC, and I think the same can probably be said about Turning Point USA is,

The whole old right-wing media machine that Fox News came out of, radio came out of, it existed to create a space that was in defiance of the mainstream media.

And that was the enemy.

The enemy was the mainstream media.

And you were defying that, that consensus.

But the attitude, whether it's Tucker Carlson or Daily Wire or any of these other

or the Rogan kind of independent universe, it's less about defying any one institution or defining yourself against the mainstream media than it more is about just being comfortable with being heterodox and being willing to say when even your own side is wrong.

I think that's a genuinely different vibe from Fox as you would find and say like the Daily Wire.

And these young people are of that world, which is willing to be like, hey, we didn't vote for this.

Like, fuck this.

This is not about teams.
