I live amongst retirees. Many of them strike me as unhappy, angst-ridden. None of them have money problems, as far as I can tell. Why they are unhappy, I do not know. And why does their unhappiness make them into avowed MAGA, I do not know. They are clearly a majority where I live — a miserable group of people.

Sex, drugs and rock n roll are no longer working. There's a lot of aches and pains, and energy is ebbing. It's scary to think what the future will bring for the grandchildren. Maybe it's more fun to wear a red hat and feel part of a club, I dunno. But in my mom's retirement village, they are no longer full red hat, thank God.
I'm not sure but I suspect that AI presents a threat to most people who fear that their children may find it very hard to find meaningful jobs after AI takes over many of those jobs. Employers will gravitate toward hiring robots that use AI to do the job formerly done by people. Such robots will be relatively cheap, won't engage in collective bargaining, work 24/7, make no mistakes, won't talk back to the boss, require no health care (other robots will fix them if parts wear out), and even solve problems. The creativity and speed (quantum computers) will compete with human abilities. Pretty grim to think about all this. A formula for creating "a miserable group of people."
Why maga devil? I don't know either; other than to observe that conspiracy theorists seem to have exponentially grown since the (we) codgers got ahold of the internet.

Idle hands, John...or so I've been told :)
