Have any of you become conservative as you’ve gotten older?
Have any of you become conservative as you’ve gotten older?
I remember around 2008, when I voted for Obama, I had my parents and other older folks telling me that I would become conservative as I’ve gotten older. I thought that was a joke back then.
And I think it is still a joke today. I’m 42 now, and even more leftist than I was when I was young. I hate capitalism, I support democratic socialism, and think Bernie is the president we need. So guess they got that one wrong huh.
I do feel like Millenials and Gen Z will break the mold of young kids becoming conservative as they age. Which is great, because once the Boomers pass on, there will be no more people to elect Republicans. I see a bright future ahead.

I've disconnected from the idea of "conservative" "liberal" "left" and "right".
My politics are: Does it make sense? Is it necessary? If not, then I don't agree with it.

No I came out as gay in 2014. Stopped buying my clothes a size too big and stopped registering republican. Apparently it was fooling no one.

Now, you really wished that you bought clothes several sizes too large. Also, you look at your wife and say to yourself "how did that happen?".

No my wife is super manish.
Way too big clothes are coming back in style too

Politically, what we really need is someone like Charles Bronson.
Re: Have any of you become conservative as you’ve gotten older?
Never heard of him/her
