Nope. At least not for some. It's like those quirks and oddities that you found fun or entertaining in your peers when you were school- or maybe college-age get set on a slippery slope, sometimes on a skateboard with a tailwind. Extremes of politics, weird beliefs in things like anti-vax or flat earth, pseudo- or bro-science, fundy religion, prejudices, addiction... age amplifies the fuckery in some peoples' heads and makes them completely resistant to anything contradicting that. When whatever guard rails there were when these people were kids - teachers, parents, whatever... - disappear, they're off the deep end.
