Weren’t We Supposed to Get Wiser as We Got Older?

Older and wiser: the two go together. Right? If you don’t think so, tell us why.

I know people, my age-group peers, who went to college in their late teens and never grew out of it. They’re in their 70s and still babbling about a socialist utopia full of transgendered philosophers, etc., etc.

But what I don’t know, and have never known, is conservatives who, sometime around turning 40 years old, convert to Far Left liberalism. (I use the labels in the broadest and most popular sense.) It just never seems to happen.

I’ll bet there are a lot of ex-liberals/former Democrats  who read this blog. I’d be very interested to know your stories. What changed your minds? Or did your minds stay the same while your political party skipped off the deep end?
