Being angry is their identity.

It's one of the symptoms of early childhood lead poisoning. I'm convinced that the modern Republican party is composed primarily of the kids who grew up with leaded gas.

And you'd be making a terrible mistake. Yes, 45-64 year olds overwhelmingly turned out for Trump. But, Trump won ALL age groups for male voters. Trump just barely won 45-64 women by 1% and lost all other ages ranges for female voters. (According to a study with 22k participants) Source

There are also lead poisoning concerns for people who frequent indoor gun ranges.

And I'd say male voters for Trump aren't so much indicative of general Republican support as they're indicative of an appetite for populism.
