It’s not age that makes you conservative, it’s comfort and success. People on the older end of life tend to have advanced more in their career. In the current era, older people in America and Europe have been part of a period of relative success. People who are doing well in the current society don’t want it to change. People who are struggling, do. The reason most monied interests support conservative agendas is that they are wealthy because they are suited to the current order. If they actually were to support real change, it’d cost them money.
