    They thought they got more conservative as they got older, turns out they just got more conservative as they got richer.

      I got older and richer, and I’m still just as socialist as I was then. Perhaps moreso, even.

      I think the idea is that they have more wealth, and are terrified of losing that wealth. It comes down to greed and fear of change, rather than the actual amount of wealth itself.

    Im actually more conservative as im approaching my 30s.

    I used to have this overly inclusive bleeding heart “everyone is equal” kind of attitude which I now see isnt really true. When you actually get past the narrative and look at the reality and statistics, its undeniable that certain “types” of people are just more pre-disposed to violence and thuggery than most normal people. Like you might not like what im saying, but you cant disagree with the actual data that shows how much more naturally violent those low-lifes are. So thats why now im not ashamed to be vocally prejudiced against cops.

    I’m actually more conservative in my 30s, as in conserving the very limited energy i have and not arguing with idiots and use that on those who worth it.
