Studies have apparently shown that the trend of people becoming more conservative as they grow older isn't even true. The data says that the Boomers were just as conservative when they started voting as they are today. If anything, people consistently become more conservative as they get wealthier.

Yup. I imagine that's the kind of reason why they started that myth in the first place. So they could avoid taking the blame by claiming they were more liberal when they were younger.
