@swelljoe@mas.to I think people *do* get more conservative as they age, but only if you use the right definition of conservative. MAGA is *not* conservative; it's radical. Conservatives prioritize comfort, continuity, order, decorum ... and there are plenty of "liberals" like that. Very frustrating for people who still believe in fighting for justice.
