Interesting to me to see this talked about. I have observed in myself over the years becoming more left leaning, 20 years ago I considered myself maybe just left of center. Now with more real world observations and experiences I am much further over to the left side.
Always wondered why people “traditionally” moved right as they aged, since it has been the opposite of me. I guess many people take something different out of their life experiences, I don’t know. Interestingly as well, I think my parents (born in the early 50s) may have changed similar to me, but that could just be a difference in my own perception. I think they have always been somewhat left leaning despite being fairly religious, but probably 10 or more years ago they stopped attending church. I don’t think they claim much to any religion these days, despite my father having been a preacher for like 25 years.
