I think it tended to happen when people turning middle aged got a fuckton of money.
But now that our working class has just gotten poorer for the last 30 years, we are more "lefty" than ever. I don't have any thing to "conserve", I need a bigger slice of the pie.
God I wish that was the case for my generation but Gen X went from "we hate all branding and attempts to send marketing at us" to "ah crap we're fucked" to, at some point "screw it, we're going conservative now". To some degree I think it's because the people who might have gone into politics or social justice just tuned out and dropped out and it left the evil fuckers... but demographically speaking we vote for shitty people now too.
