People are angry because they are comparing themselves to the older generations, not because they are thinking in economical or technical terms.
Mostly they are comparing themselves to imaginary versions of older generations. How many millennials or zoomers include the draft, stagflation and multiple recessions, and sky-high interest rates as part of their comparison?

I know it's an unpopular position but again I urge theMotte to consider the possibility that Trump (and Trump-voters) know what they are doing.
I'm sure Trump's doing what he's doing on purpose, and MAGA supports him in it. But tariffs are still bad.
As for "cult of personality", that just gets an eyeroll. There's some of that, it comes with any charismatic politician (which is most Presidents, Gerald Ford and Bush Sr. being notable exceptions). But being lock-step with Trump really isn't a characteristic of MAGA, the biggest split being on vaccines, where Trump yielded to his base.
