    I think it’s those who didn’t grow up in the internet age and came here much later. What Gretchen McCulloch calles “Pre Internet People” in her book Because Internet. Meaning they grow up before internet and were introduced to it much later. Think of boomers who get their first smartphone because their son in law is afraid they get lost in the forest or something. You get the vibes.

    So I think in this case it is part of the joke, making fun of older conservatives
