As you get older and have families and more responsibilities common sense takes over from the idealism you had when you were young and single. As a former liberal Democrat I totally agree with the notion people generally become more conservative in their ways as they get older!
I could have written your post! So true.

Agree. Then there’s always a but. In this case the left learned well from Carter’s failures. I’m talking the ability to sweep things under the rug and changing the subject. The Clintons were good students.
As a proud 18-year-old I voted for George McGovern. 12 years later I voted for Reagan’s reelection. I learned just like you did. but the bigger change was turning 30 years old. That was in-between 2 votes for Carter.
Same here!
Aging brings experience and wisdom for those with critical thinking and moral reasoning, a better understanding of human nature.
Liberals come up with asinine ideas and policies and don’t really care if they work or who it hurts. They never take responsibility for their failures.
I never fell for it. Conservative thinking all my life .
Liberalism made zero sense to me.
