Most people feel it was the one they were a child in.
I think that may be true. I’m happy to grow up when I did. I was born in the mid 90’s. So I experienced the first half of my life living with parents who spent lavishly and bought a huge, 5 bedroom house. Then we lost it all during the financial crisis of ‘08 and moved into an old house with one bathroom in the ghetto where people would try to break in. It was really sobering for me, as a young person, to go through that and learn from their frivolity. It made me more responsible, conservative, etc.
They didn’t seem to learn as much as I did from it. Still voting Democrat. I think that your circumstance when young can absolutely set your political ideals when older.
