    Jesus. No wonder the GOP is scared shitless of younger folks. That’s a pretty stark lookout for the right. (FWIW, I’m 53 and starting dipping left 10-years ago. Guess I’m a little odd, though not an outlier.)

      People go conservative when they are afraid that the status quo can be taken away from them.

      Everyone under the Boomers has been eating shit, and licking boots their entire life. What wealth do they have to protect? What status quo do they want to keep?
