Whites born between 1949-1954 tilt Democratic (or, at least they did pre-2016), clearly the result of Nixon. I assume age group began its Democratic streak with McGovern.

So, it seems when the age old question "why did the hippies vote Reagan after supporting McGovern?" is asked, the correct answer is they didn't.
