There's plenty of conservative thought on the internet.
If you think life with liberals is better, all you need to do is move to the West Coast or the Northeast when you're older.

A study we read in a women's studies course in college made the point that women become more politically conservative as they get older. I suspect the same holds true for men. More active politically and more conservative. There's an observation hiding in there just waiting to be made.

Seeing some of the problems conservative presidents have cause in this world might go a long way towards that.
I'm from the Pacific NW, so I know that. I'd like the President to be liberal, though.
That's a good question that I'd like to give more thought before I answer.

Global connectivity can help people agree with conservative ideology.

Seeing problems caused by liberal ideology, such as starvation in Venezuela or needles and poop in the streets of CA, might go a long way toward that.

Worth noting that what is viewed as radical today is likely to become the orthodoxy 30/40 years down the road..in the transition between a persons busy twenties and their nothing-to-do-but-vote sixties. One of the amusing paradoxes of conservatism. Upholding the changing norms of successive generations.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Too bad none of those are problems with liberal ideology only your ignorance and bias and if i had to go over the list of horrors brought on by Right Wing ideology i would never stop.
