I agree that we need class consciousness and to unite the working class across the generations, but age is still a dividing line for Tory and Labour voters.
The majority of people over 60 voted for Conservatives in the 2019 election. It was 57% Conservative for those aged 60-69, and 67% for those over 70. Age is still a predictor of how Conservative people vote, so the generation divide isn’t just propaganda. And young people know this from their lived experiences.
I will say that it’s not the elderly’s fault. All of the media that caters to them is Conservative-leaning at best, and full-on Far-Right at worst. We won’t change anything in the country until we shut down the bullshit that pollutes the airwaves, newspapers and social media
