I don't think your stereotypes reflect reality. People 45 and older are statistically ambivalent on Trump - about 50% of them voted for Trump, 50% didn't. The same holds true when you look at just 65+ people: https://www.cnn.com/election/2020/exit-polls/president/natio...

According to your single exit poll of 15k people. Over 159 million Americans voted in 2020.

56% of Republican and GOP-leaning voters are ages 50 and older, up from 39% in 1996.

With all due respect you need a lesson in statistics. 15,000 people can be a great sample size, and saying that 56% of republicans are over 50 implies nothing about the percentage of people over 50 who are republicans.
