Philip BumpParents are conservative … if their children are adults. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/07/03/elon-moms-for-liberty-gop/?itid=ap_philipbump
Jake Legg@pbump so this chart basically shows that old people are conservative and young people are liberal?

That's a well-worn trope... though there are exceptions. I'm Gen X (57), have 2 adult children, and I'm progressive verging on radical now. But in the '80s and '90s, I naively believed the neoliberal bullshit of the time and was center-right. Now I see trickle-down was a lie, the system is broken, and the planet is on fire because of extractivism, capitalism, colonialism. Rage against the machine, baby!👊🏽💪🏽
