No, people do NOT get more conservative as they age

[ChairmanGonzalo]

Mythbusters: People Get More Conservative As They Age. Right?

The myth that people get more conservative as they age is a lie.

The reason that most conservatives happen to be older and white is because of the fact that the older generations were born into a completely different society. They were raised to believe that homosexuality was a sin, that communism was "evil", that Jim Crow laws were the norm, that gun ownership was a good thing regardless of the number of people shot a year, that businesses were holy and sacrosanct, and that the poor were just lazy bums who deserved to starve.

Now that our country has started to slowly get enlightened, as well as more diverse, these nasty beliefs are dying out. It's Official: The U.S. is Becoming a Minority-Majority Nation

It is a well known fact that older white republicans, who make up the base of the party, are dying out. The GOP Is Dying Off. Literally.

Whenever I point this out on this forum, everybody says "oh, no, the younger generations become more conservative as they age." Well, once again, that's a complete lie.

Busting Myth, People Turn More Liberal With Age

Sorry, right wingers, but as older white conservatives start dying our, and people of color start making up a majority of this country, your reactionary, regressive beliefs are dying out for good.

FAIL I began life as an ignorant Democrat and became a conservative as I grew older, wiser, and began making lots of money and not wanting the greedy mooching loser do nothings in the Democratic party taking my money.

Communism is still evil. As you prove with every one of your threads. And gun ownership IS a good thing. Just in case you Che Guevara fans ever get a single vote in an American election..

Your individual anecdote is not backed up by the statistics. Most people get more progressive as they age.

The older I get the more Fiscal Libertarian and Social Libertarian I become...

Now to you that is a bad thing but to me it is simple and do whatever you want but don't ask me or anyone else to pay for it!

 

[Godboy]

Everyone is an idealistic democrat when they are a kid. This has been the norm on college campus's for decades. If they don't grow up and become conservatives, how do you explain the fact that all our presidential elections are always neck and neck?

If you escape the Democratic party plantation one day then you will understand. Or you may live out your life as a slave to them, hoping each election this time they will make good on their promise to rob from the rich and give to you. You just have to hang on a bit longer in their inner city slums. Hopefully the Democrats won't arrest you and send you to one of their prisons like they have done to millions of young minorities before you get your fair share.

"People of color" are extremely conservative, even more than conservative whites.

That is why the west is by far the most progressive part of the world, because it is also the whitest part of the world.

Keep it up idiot. Socialist white millennials will hate you pieces of shit more than the "old white conservatives" did.

Conservatism just keeps shifting to the left as time passes. Conservatism 10 years ago used to be zero tolerance for gays and completely unregulated free market. Now we have Trump.

This is 2016. The younger generations are more informed, more educated, more secular, and more diverse. They are different from the youth of the past, in a very positive way.

The idiots you're quoting are confusing widely held social norms with political views.

There have been seed changes in attitudes towards a LOT of social issues. That manifest at ALL age levels fairly equally. Like race relations since the 60s. SCIENCE would find not a lot of aging people "getting MORE racist with age". But that doesn't tell the whole story about their politics. And of course, being a Commie you'd ignore that whole other 1/2 of Liberty and freedom that deals with ECONOMIC issues and the power and size of Govt. You poll on THAT -- you'd get A LOT of conservatism creeping in with age. Especially from 30 to 60 years of age.

Means NOTHING that folks "dont get more racist, biased sexist with age".

The most progressive, forward thinking countries in the world are mostly found in Asia, South America, and Africa.

China, Vietnam, Laos, Venezuela, Bolivia, etc.

DOn't have to go back 10 years in the Dem Party. Both Obama and Hillary (and her whorehopper hubby) were cool on gay rights 10 years ago before "it was cool". Give me a break.

 

[boedicca]

There's a difference betwen Physically Aging and Growing Up (and Wiser).

The latter category does become more conservative. The Former just remain Democrats.

College aged people tend to be idealists. Life turns them into realists. Then in senior citizenship they tend to vote to preserve social security and Medicare.

 

[williepete]

Not all people become conservative as they get older. Successful people tend to. People who fail due to poor life choices don't want to accept responsibility for their condition and become jealous of those who are better off due to hard work.

So? They fought for gay rights. Lincoln was pro-slavery most of his life. Are you saying he had nothing to do with freeing the slaves?
