    This is the story.

    It’s also survivorship bias. Wealthy people live longer, and wealthy people are more conservative. As a cohort ages, the poor liberals die off and the wealthy assholes remain.

      It’s also being annoyed and fed up with people harassing the shit out of you for being ‘rich and privileged’ when you live a pretty basic life. I paid for my own undergrad and graduate educations, lived cheap and saved up for 15 years, and finally got a house and some stability in my life.

      I can’t tell you how many ‘leftists’ love ot mouth off at me now that I’m some rich privledged asshole. When I haven’t taken a vacation in 3 years, meanwhile they are living off mom and dad and trust funds and traveling abroad 3x a year and screaming about how ‘underprivledged’ they are.

      It’s the hypocracy and the irony that I can’t stand anymore. When I grew up the left was more about equality and bringing people up, now it’s about tearing everyone else down.
