The new generation today is nothing more than the same boomer generation back in the 60s and 70s. It keeps repeating itself. As people get older, they realize how fucked up our system is so rather than keep voting for large government that gets nothing done and fucks everything up, older people would rather vote for smaller government and keep more of their money. Personally, I'd rather donate my extra time/money (and I do) to organizations I can research and see making a difference. Not handing it over to uncle sam who just keeps doing stupid shit over and over.

And businesses who aren't in the business of generating profits and getting rich are idiotic at best. Business come and go - all the time. Do you know how many of the components of the Dow or S&P 500 have been around since their inception? Savvy business owners are smart enough to know their time is limited so they need to make it while they can.

Edit: So when you see an old person and they're conservative, don't assume it is because they are racist or whatever other label Humble Novice wants to give them. Perhaps assume they're just fed up.

Republicans don't fucking believe in small government. What republican president or congress actually shrunk the government notablly and in ways that helped non rich people? What republicans don't mindlessly support the police or repeatedly try to stop LGBT people from having equal rights?

Anything they cut is immediately funneled into military and police and its usually just for the rich.
