“Older voters are second only to the youngest cohort in their share of “climate voters,” in part because we’ve lived long enough to know how drastically the climate has changed. Eighty-six percent of older Americans think abortion should be legal at least under certain circumstances—in part because we’re old enough to remember coathangers. As for democracy—well, January 6 may have hit us particularly hard, because we’ve lived through 15 or 20 elections, and had come to take the peaceful transfer of power entirely for granted.”  — Bill McKibben
