To add a serious point to this great tweet:

The traditional drift rightwards as people age is really a drift towards maintaining the status quo once you feel part of it.

But if you can't buy a house, see a GP, afford childcare or get a stable job you never become the status quo

@garius I'm getting more liberal as I get older.

One of the more influential parts of my life found me, white-y mcwhite face, living in a sea of black people experiencing first hand day by day how the world treated me differently from my friends and family. Racism is alive and well in the US. Believe you me.

But I didn't support same sex marriage, homosexuals, or transgender people.

About 15 years or so ago I started to see how wrong I was.

I've mostly always been liberal financially

@garius Case in point, I liked Mike Rowe's podcast when it was short. Now that it's in long form his the opposite of liberalism view points have put me off to the point I only listen to about every 3rd of 4th episode as a mean to not be trapped in a liberal bubble. But I find his show more and more distasteful even thought it's not what I'd call extreme.
