People don't become more conservative as they change.What happens is that the paradigm shifts. Something that was liberal when they were young (interracial marriages, women's rights) becomes normal as they age. They were for interracial marriage and women's rights when they were young and continue to be so (perhaps more so) as they age. However new issues arise (gay marriage). The now older crowd is not ready to embrace this like the younger crowd, hence making them more "conservative" in comparison. Some of them will eventually accept this new issue while some will not. What almost never happens is the older crowd rejecting the then-liberal issue of their youth which has by then become mainstream as they aged and their more "then-conservative" elders died off. |
