We aren’t getting more conservative as we age. “Conservatism” moves toward the idealism of our youth.

The median age of the House is 57 (Mid GenX); Senate is 64 (Early GenX); President is fucking 80 (Elder Boomer). “Conservative” is currently what the Boomers and GenX’ers considered idealism when they came of age in the 1950s - 1970s.

The oldest Millenials are only 46. They aren’t changing the pattern. They aren’t yet in charge.
