    I've never met a serious person who puts any value in the 'you go x direction as you age.' like no one with critical thinking skills actually believes age correlates directly with political slant. Its a dozen and one other variables before your age plays into it.

    People only say it because they want to call you a kid while sounding educated.

    There is, I think, something to the idea that in prior generations, certain people could much more easily accumulate capital (eg owning a home, having investments) which would tend to result in them having petit-bourgeois political views as they aged.
