TLDW; oldfags longing for the "good old days" don't know or deliberately ignore that their newer days are much better. It has something to do with nostalgia too btw.
Humans are smart but doesn't mean we're even near perfect when it comes to processing information. Biases exist for a reason even when their subconscious.
That's exactly what time does to your brain filled with information and memories. It organizes and prioritizes (based on evolutionary necessities and shortcomings of the brain itself) which leads to the distortion of reality for that person.
It has nothing to do with juvenoia or nostalgia. It's all about priorities, wisdom, life experience etc.
A straight out of college person doesn't have the same wisdom and experience a 35 year old does. Our brains aren't even developed until we are around 25 years old and pair that with the fact that the vast majority of liberals are included in the 15-28 age mark reinforces my point even more so. It's a fact that as people get older, in general, grow more conservative and vote more conservative. If you've lived long enough you'll see this is true and makes sense considering how easily impressionable we are in our youth.
The thing is Trump actually performed reasonably well (far better than Romney for example) with 18-25 year olds. Daddy managed to energize young republicans
That's why they cuck themselves for corporations because of fREEEEE market amirite? All that worldly experience leading them to vote against their interests only to own the libs?
As if refugees weren't enough of a problem in this sub, most of 'em are Qtard tier boomers lmao
Fair point. I often see comments on reddit with such good English and such intimate familiarity with American politics that I assume the person is American, then they say they aren’t.
Meanwhile I am a monolingual American tard who barely understands the politics of my own country 😣
Never too late to learn another language. American policy effects us all when global warming , trade deals and world politics and be effected by their actions.
Yeah. I’m just too flighty — I’ve leaned enough to “sort of” read a few other languages, but not enough to hold a real conversation in any others. I really need to pick one and focus on it.
Reminder that threads in /r/Conservative flaired "Conservative Only" ban comments that aren't explicitly pro-conservative because those snowflakes can't handle dissenting opinions in their safe spaces.
no its because you can literally anywhere on reddit and be bombarded with left wing comments while the hivemind hides all rightwing comments with downvotes, and when /r/conservative hits /r/all the comments section looks like /r/politics why have /r/conservative if all the comments that you see are far left wing

Well, yeah... So what? In the end it's a numbers game and the demographics aren't in their favor. Especially since the most active users (50+ comments per day) leans ever further left.
Conservatives do have some small advantages though, e.g. left-wingers throwing everyone out with however small wrongthink. But they will never take any advantage from it since most active conservatives on Reddit are either boomers or jobless people.

I mean, it is.
1 IDFSHILL 2018-10-25
Almost like the vast majority of young people are liberals and the GOP decided to double down on angry old boomers so never gained any ground.
1 Abu_Ivanka_alAmriki 2018-10-25
I agree, age is probably a huge factor in why reddit is so liberal.
1 vjaY619 2018-10-25
Nah, it's just normal for young people to be liberal and as they grow old become more conservative. It's common sense.
1 Ed_ButteredToast 2018-10-25
Lmao @ people thinking its "okay" for that to happen. It has something to do with this

Yeah, but it's not their views changing, it's where those views fall on the left-right scale.

That's why Qultists and Pedes are comprised of boomers and rednecks. They're wise and they have the most developed brains out there
1 LSU_Coonass 2018-10-25
there's a difference between qultists/pedes and your average middle class republican voter
1 Etsuko1 2018-10-25
Yes, it's as big a shitpost as claiming most liberals are 18-25 and only vote Democrat because they haven't developed their brains enough
1 LSU_Coonass 2018-10-25
yeah 18-25 year olds vote liberal mainly because they don't make money and therefore don't pay taxes, plus have very little "real world" experience
1 Etsuko1 2018-10-25

You realize you can go look at exit polls and refute this bullshit in about 10 seconds, right?
1 Ed_ButteredToast 2018-10-25
But then the narrative crumbles 😢
1 Ed_ButteredToast 2018-10-25
Nice cope, retard.
1 Ed_ButteredToast 2018-10-25
You mean aren't "fully" developed as in a 100% and not as in being a brainlet. Nice job leaving out that tiny detail
Lmao what a convincing argument.
If you weren't such a sperg you'd see that I'm not arguing against it. All I'm providing is a "why" behind this phenomenon.
Fucking lol. At least i providing a vid that is sourced to some extent and like you where you're expecting us to simply believe you because reeee
1 PhysicsIsMyMistress 2018-10-25
This is literally not true. This has never been true.
1 vjaY619 2018-10-25
They don't think it be like it is, but it do.
1 snowkarl 2018-10-25
Every generation is liberal until they grow old enough to have a job and see the government in action. This isn't some new phenomenon.
1 IDFSHILL 2018-10-25
Weird considering each generation ends up less conservative than the last.

1 snowkarl 2018-10-25
Who is voting against their own interests?
Is that the only unironic thing about you? That you're a Cenk Uygur fan?
1 Ed_ButteredToast 2018-10-25
Lmao @ your entire existence.
Retards like you. Keep coping through ignorance tho, lol
1 snowkarl 2018-10-25

-> laughs at other people's existence

Duh?! Doesn't mean he should screech about it like an autistic mong. Maybe something like Voat might interest him.

1 nomad1c 2018-10-25
there seems to be a group of people who go to every conservative sub and downvote every thread and post. they're almost always marked as controversial
it's weird
1 better_bot 2018-10-25
Probably conservatives themselves downvoting each other to garner sympathy. Ain't falling for it.
1 shitpersonality 2018-10-25
Obvious false flag.
1 nomad1c 2018-10-25
could be a false flag false flag tho
1 shitpersonality 2018-10-25
False flags all the way down.

Remember there’s more to the world than America. The modern western world and its population leans left of America.

Did you just describe your own Reddit post as a "nuanced look"? And about a subreddit?
Holy shit the cringe is overwhelming.

I know lots of nice conservatives, but to be a /r/conservative poster there's already a minimum level of butthurt embedded into your character.
