Do we really become more conservative with age?
Any man who is under 30, and is not a liberal, has no heart; and any man who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has no brains.
There is a reason that is so often quoted.
This maxim – variously attributed to Winston Churchill, Benjamin Disraeli and Victor Hugo, among others – neatly captures the common notion that to be on the left of the political spectrum is to be young and idealistic, while to be on the right is to be older and more pragmatic. But is there any evidence for this?
In Britain, age is a strong predictor of how someone will vote in an election. Older people are more supportive of the Conservatives, while younger people more supportive of Labour, the Liberal Democrats, and more recently, the Greens. This is not a recent phenomenon.

Consistent with previous research but contrary to folk wisdom, our results indicate that political attitudes are remarkably stable over the long term. In contrast to previous research, however, we also find support for folk wisdom: on those occasions when political attitudes do shift across the life span, liberals are more likely to become conservatives than conservatives are to become liberals, suggesting that folk wisdom has some empirical basis even as it overstates the degree of change.
Since 1989, all the Republican party can serve up for President is the Bushes.
Bush #1, Bush #2, and then tried Bush # 3 in 2016. If Trump had not come around,
Bush #3 had a reasonable chance to be elected.
If the Republican party could come up with some decent Presidential candidates, instead of the same old stuff, maybe they wouldn't need to be complaining about Biden. Trump is basically a one off. After Trump is finished with his act, the Republicans need to get their act together.
Currently the Republican party is a void in space. Originally Posted by VitaMan
