At age 18, a particular 7 students in a class are "liberal" and 3 are "conservative" (70/30%). In their 20s, one liberal commits suicide due to harassment about being LGBTQ (66/33), in their 30s one liberal dies from a drug overdoes (62.5/37.5), in their 40s one liberal dies from a workplace accident (57.1/42.8) and in their 50s on liberal dies from lack of health insurance (50/50). At their 40th high school reunion, half of the class is republican. "Oh, ya, people get more conservative as they get older." No one changed their position, yet looking at just the percentages, people would think that this phrase is true.

This is why the one time democrats got the trifecta, they pushed through healthcare reform. This is why democrats (should be/are) for workplace safety, drug decriminalization and drug treatment de-stigmatization, mental heath reform and LGBT "it gets better" initiatives. Democrats literately have been dying at a higher rate than the WASPs, and loosing this demographic warfare. Now things are turning around and people are surprised that democrats are winning the under 50s now, but it has been a multi-decade project to get to this point.
