It's probably more complicated, but I wonder how much their opinions would change if they didn't have cable or Facebook. Like a Netflix & Disney sub were the only things on their TV, you'd be hearing about Paul & Prue instead.
Many of them don't and they get their news from Facebook, YouTube and similar sources. Those are the least informed ones.
I guess part of it also comes from wanting to be important.
Like, sure your life may have sucked but if your life ended at the rapture and then branched off into eternal Paradise because you were one of the good ones then it was all worth it right?
That's sort of what I think is going on for people that are over 60 right now. They know that life sucks, they just are hoping for a way out because there isn't any solution to the current suckage that the elders are going through.
