    I don’t think it works as much for Gen X or younger. Real tell for conservatism is wealth. Give a youngster a high salary and an inheritance and many of them are just as conservative as their grandparents. The ‘I got mine, fuck you’ attitude is more prevalent by wealth category than age category.

      Valid. That’s why I won’t vote for any Billionaires for office, although FDR proves my rule wrong, so I have to take it on a case by case basis.
