We'll see how progressive they are once they're the most conservative ones in the room

Ah yes the popular myth of becoming more conservative as you get older. It used to be true because you would get a job, have a family, and retire. Suddenly your biggest concern became lower taxes so you could spend that money elsewhere. Rest of the country be damned.

Except now significantly less people are doing those things because they have a lot less money than their parents did.

All growing old has done is made me way more left. I can see and understand so much more about how the world is fucked up.

Me too. I'm saying that they're currently being dishonest about supporting progressive values, not that they'll change.
