Perhaps, but a lot of it is just being young and ignorant and naïve. I graduated from a Catholic High School and a relatively apolitical university in 1979 and was as liberal as the young people of today. It took me some working in the real world, starting a family and getting some honest to goodness life experience before my mind got right.
By the time I was 35, I was just a bit left of Genghis Kahn. Conservatism comes with common sense and actuality. Time and experience lessons are the only cure for liberal/progressive thinking and many never do learn unfortunately.
The perfect minimum voting age.
