I've seen and lived too many to counterexamples to let "People get more conservative as they get older" slide without labelling it a glittering generality.
One is an old buddy who was a supply sider back in the 80s. He told me back in the aughts, "We used to argue about that stuff. I had that economics professor who explained it in a way that made sense, but it didn't work the way he said it would." These days he's all about clean air, food and water, with a more than a little don't trust corporates asses on the side.
As for me, I'm ready for the young people to take control of their future. Old people got them into this mess, which means old people can't get them out. I'm not so uptight or prideful to think they can't find a better way.
