Comment on Barnaby Joyce in advanced talks with Pauline Hanson to join One Nation
Ilandar@lemmy.today 10 hours agoAccording to RedBridge, the biggest shift to One Nation is among Gen X men. Kinda interesting because I already associated that demographic with cooker culture and now they seem to be making the shift to cooker politics as well.

That’s interesting and counterintuitive to me, although it fits with a lot of the commentary around right wing politics. I have quite a few Gen X male friends.
As I’m laying in bed a bit tired and trying to organize my thoughts about this I have to remind myself that it can both be true that the biggest shift to One Nation is Gen X men, and that most Gen X men are kind and reasonable people who don’t vote for One Nation.
I wonder how much is a conservative shift with age as that group enters their 50s.
