I don't know who any of those people are, so...
I'd be an ensign on USS Voyager.
@ScottSoCal definitely.
Really all I've been talking about here is access to the ECONOMIC status quo, because we're talking about the movement of "the majority" of a generation along political axes.
Lack of access to the social status quo (i.e. equality in all its guises) has been a driver away from conservatism for a lot longer. For those who experience it, and those who witness it.
The two often go hand in hand, but not always.

They're killing their own children, because they want something different. I can't even begin to understand that.
@garius
I started a post to refute at least part of your argument:
"Home ownership, good healthcare, pensions, free education etc. are all key pillars of being part of the status quo."
I have most of this, I'm a Boomer, and I've gotten much MORE liberal as I age.
But I'm also a gay man, so not supportive of the status quo. Your argument works, even for an old man like me.
Just started #TheNevers last night - yes, VERY late to the game. Just finished Ep #3 and whoa! π³
VERY mad #HBO cancelled this! I mean, VERY mad! Gonna dole out the next 3 eps VERY gradually!
@donmelton : Yet another HBO casualty!

Loved that show. I'll have to research it and see if it was based on a book I can read.
Today is my sixth heartiversary! So far, so good! I have had a much easier time of it than many transplant patients. I've been very lucky from the moment I got accepted onto the waiting list, and I am very greatful to the medical team and to all my friends who have made this an easy journey so far. And grateful to everyone who is willing to be an organ donor!
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
