Makes sense though 30 seems off. I've usually heard 20 or 25.

I was pretty liberal when I was young. "Why can't we just help people?" and all that utopian stuff. Luckily I went to a based high school and easily ignored all the typical crap that infests universities these days.

I understand why many people are liberal when theyre young, i just dont like the insinuation that youre some heartless sociopath if youre not.

I get it, my older kid is pragmatic & logical but my younger is emotional. She’d totally be a libtard if we were.

Not really. It fails to understand that conservativism has a heart, but that heart understands the real world. It also ignores that liberals aren't driven by compassion but by a need to validate their existence and success by placing them over others via helping them. Liberals are the ultimate expression of "I'm okay, you're not okay."

Yeah, it's really just pointing out the common trend of people wanting to be liberal when they're young but at some point moving to conservatism as they mature. The age thing is arbitrary. My transition period was about 24 or so (although, if I'd been honest with myself, I always had trouble buying a lot of things the left was selling).
