What I find funny about right wingers trying to say that people will become more right-leaning as they get older is that the quote that they’re citing seems to point to the idea that the left-wing person’s ideas aren’t going to change and that they’ll continue to hold the same beliefs.
“It only takes 20 years for a liberal to become a conservative without changing a single idea.”
Seems to imply that it means you’ll get stuck in your ways and continue to hold left-leaning views, the exact opposite of what the boomers are saying, it’s based on an older version of the word conservative, meaning to keep things as they are. Ironic that they’re citing it as a reason for why they think people will become like them when it seems to point to the opposite, that they’ll stay the same and continue to hold left-wing views.
Of coarse the idea that someone will stay the same or change in some predictable way is a generalization, people grow and change in different ways depending on the individual, same applies for getting stuck in said ways.
Not to mention that Cellular service providers have quite unstable IPs which often reset or change upon connection and disconnection, plus the ready availability of Public Wifi sources. IP just isn’t a good metric anymore, if it really ever even was.
