On 4 September 2024, I prepared my initial diagram (left) on Doubt, Hope, Fear & Love. Something was missing though.

An American expert at The Hague Centre for Strategic Studies claims that voting by "anti-democratic young generations" is a reason for Trump's 2024 victory. See his recent comment on Dutch BNR Newsradio. In my view, "anti-democratic young voters" is a rather silly and even a contradicting concept.
