And many of them are also are veterans or families of veterans who fought for your right to vote, remember.
The oldies tend to vote against me more often than not but I don't complain just because they outnumbered my own demographic. In fact I find it humbling that there are actually people on this earth who see voting as their duty as a citizen, as opposed to the youth who never turn out to elections, then pop up every couple of years when there's a referendum and demand to have it all their way. |
It's a cycle really. 99% of ATRL's age demographic is 17-21, so you expect them to be very liberal, too liberal, and often stubborn because they hate the slight thought idea of conservatism. I used to be one of these people and I though I'd never change. There's not a single way to reason out with these people other than to let time do its course.
Trust me, I've been there, I was extremely liberal at that age. But here I am now entering my 30s, I must say it is true when they say people get conservative as they age, and I expect the same generation of kids to undergo the same process and maturity too.
It's just the balance of life. You are a free spirit as a kid thus reflecting your liberal intentions, but as you mature into your late 20s and 30s, you do become conservative. That's just my two cents.
