As a Progressive, no it is not true. The following statement: “You get more conservative when you get older" only really worked for the generations that got RICHER as they got older. The real truth was always just "You get more selfish the more money you have" is not true from my level of understanding and perspective. I’ve always saw Conservative as a point of understanding. When you are brought up in a very Conservative background and those ideas also beliefs stick to you, it isn’t easy to just unravel what you were brought up with. As you get older, the harder it is to dissipate / dissociate with those points of understanding you were always told as “correct” or “true” or “good”. Like being told about “Autism” or “Transgender” or “Bisexuality” or “Environmental Protection” you’ll go “I have a great level of understanding based on Retards, Transvestites, and Only Heterosexuality or Queer there is no other sexuality types rather than being open to learning more about certain areas which are more complicated than that. Honestly, this goes for a lot of different religions, cultures, and perspectives though I do not subscribe to the notion Conservative as you get older is based on selfishness of money. I just don’t see it.

This is true. So many boomers were hippies and now all of a sudden their God fearing, judgmental, can't mind their own business what other people do with their lives, assholes. Important note here. I know it's not all boomers. Many are wonderfully amazing people. On average, in my experience, especially work experience, they're greedy, entitled, martyrs, that think nobody works hard but them. They refuse to acknowledge prices to wages for generations younger than them. They're many times (not always), In power, and terrible to work for.

It's because older people are the main problem for the country's economy. The entire health budget is spent treating their chronic illnesses. They receive enormous pensions that should be paid by young people. In addition, most of them are involved in real estate speculation.

Are you a woman? You don't sound like a man. Now, go drink your soy milk and wait for something else to outrage you... because no one else is a virtuous as you are.

The boomers were not the only generation that has gotten richer as they got older. It is still the way it works until you hit 50 and then there is no more promotions and if you lose your job, chances are you are retired.

Scientifically, the brain is not even fully formed until the age of 25. Generally, I would trust the opinions of older people more than younger people, whatever the political consequences. Don't you think you are wiser now than you were when you were 20?

Conservative Americans are by and far the most charitable group in the country. Demanding others pay for things you want isn’t being generous.

You get conservative as you age as you distance yourself from liberal indoctrination forced in by the 'education' system A great quote goes 'a young conservative has no heart but an old liberal has no brain'

Metabolically healthy obesity? I was that when I played football

Most conservatives, especially older ones attend church and are Christians. These folks do more charitable work than the government does.

Well yea, cuz they generally have more long replies

Some of them, but obviously not all of them.

  Sure. But then you will be in the exact same position within 50 or 60 years from now. Part of the health budget will be spent treating your chronic illnesses. Your pension will be paid by people younger than you.

  @Dongie If you see it long term, you're basically paying for your own pension and healthcare. The money you put in gradually over the years during your professional career is like a piggy bank. You'll get the rewards at some point. Unless our government decides to get a hammer and smash it to pieces.
  
  Maybe he'll get it when he starts a career and pays his taxes.

  You're correct on this. I never could figure out why or for that matter how a fellow teenager could be disrespectful to our elders when i was growing up.. It's not only unbecoming but if they could see how stupid and low-class they look.

  @Dongie Maybe off topic, but yes, you're absolutely right. When I was a kid, we had respect for older or elderly people: teachers, our parents, grand-parents, police officers. Now respect seems to be gone. We're faced with a generation that thinks along the lines of 'Me, myself and my Iphone'.
