When I was 20 I was a conservative Republican yet at 25 I was a liberal, ie, I grew up and matured.
And now I've seen that the older Republicans-Conservatives get the more they like Putin & Trump.
And as Churchill testified the less they like democracy.

Meaningless platitude falsely attributed to Churchill. Conservatives are consistently anti-science, anti-fact, anti-intellectual.
Well, in todays world Conservatives are a vanishing species, there used to be some in the GOP but they got kicked out or absorbed by the trump borg cult.

My wife did not grow up to be a conservative, though she does have some conservative ideals but leans Liberal. I wasn't a hippie, motorcycles and military. It works great.Care to explain then why many hippies grew up to be conservatives?

Or....you just gave up.
That was my experience as i watched others go through this as I avoided it.
You have kids, buy a house and you just can't go all out for things you believe in because you have too much to lose and have become aware of your mortality.
In my experience it is much more a herd behavior than some kind maturing process. Peer pressure, keeping up with the Joneses and whatnot.
And then there's the constant beat of "everybody can get rich!". Which is a patently a false statement. Some can get rich. There isn't enough money and stuff for all of us to be rich. Sports and music and such are not career arcs, they're lotteries, holding out the promise of making it, making a life of not making it more bearable but only a tiny few of those who try can ever make it and have making it still mean anything so it is pie in the sky nonsense.
Upon which fortunes are made. By those who didn't do an hour of training or possess a gram of talent.
And when people finally realize they are never going to make it they knuckle down and take their place on the treadmill.
And then they become conservative.
Of course conservatism has metastasized into a bunch of selfish venal nonsense and bears little resemblance to the basically conservative perspective I have.
I still am on the side of the dirt farmer or the sheep rancher and not the railroad or cattle baron.
Modern conservatism definitely works for the latter.
That’s only five years and most people know that when you are 25 you still have a lot of growing up to do. Talk to me when you’re 35, 40, 60, and so on. The left even supports promiscuity, and not waiting until marriage, so that tells me something.

I don’t need to be lectured on “science” or “facts” or “intellect” by the side that claims that there are “infinite genders”.

When I was 20 as to day, I believed in God, family, Country, the Constitution, personal responsibility, and work ethic.
Believe in God, but reject everything Jesus stood for. Believe in family, but doing everything possible to destroy families of immigrants and prevent LGBT from being recognized as family. Believe in Country, but reject what it's supposed to stand for. Believe in the constitution, just not for other people. Believe in personal responsibility, but only for others. Believe in work ethic, but pretend privilege doesn't exist.
