Most Of The March For Our Lives Protesters Weren’t Young — And Most Weren’t Motivated By Gun Control

The March for Our Lives was, of course, billed as a march by students affected by mass shootings for students who might, in the future, be affected by a mass shooting. But, it turns out, despite the hours spent bussing in kids from all over the country, and the attention lavished on a handful of student organizers, the vast majority — a whopping 90% — of marchers were middle-aged.

This shouldn’t come as much of a surprise to anyone familiar with the anti-Trump “Resistance.” After an initial wave of marches, the Resistance began to skew older and more female, and by early 2018, consisted almost entirely of Baby Boomer-aged women lecturing their kids and grandkids about the forthcoming nuclear holocaust on social media.
