Already got your bag and want the poors to bleed to death?

Well you're in luck!

I have a newly vacated beach-front property for sale (also has a shit ton of Natural Gas under the ground)!

HMU. No low-balls. I know what it's worth.

If you get more conservative as you age, you didn't internalize a new way of thinking. There are old communists that I'm sure are less "mentally flexible" which means they'll tend to look at things through a certain (communist) lens. If you get old and "go conservative", you've just ran out of extra processing space for pretending.

The same polling firms that say people get more conservative as they age are also the ones that found that 70% of Americans disapproved of MLK while he was alive. It isn't so much that older people get more conservative, it's more that the good die young.
