Personally I blame lead poisoning and decades of propaganda, mind you this only really affects Gen X and the Boomers but the younger dipshits can just be explained by the memetic equivalent of the founder effect.
I mostly subscribe to this because I've met plenty of dumb silent generation who are not nearly this fucken asanine, sure they tended to be stubborn and weirdly racist but honestly hating the Russians and Germans is pretty acceptable to this shit.
There's studies showing that older generations that had higher lead exposure from leaded gasoline leak out lead from their bones as they get older. Which means more mental health issues, general insanity as well. They are going insane from all that lead and we're seeing it real time.
The younger generations being more "conservative" is really a sign of ignorance and lack of critical knowledge as well as thinking on their parts. Now that they are SEEING what these policies bring and the party they're showing a change in demographics. They're angry and the GQP are good at weaponizing that anger.
