“The restless - the young, the precarious, the locked-out - wanted disruption because they felt disruption was the only plausible path to the stability they’d never had. The settled - the propertied, the pensioned, the institutionally embedded - wanted protection because protection was the only path to keeping the stability they’d spent a lifetime building. Both groups were rational. Both groups were afraid. The difference was that one group was afraid of the status quo, and the other was afraid of losing it.”
