As to my belief, it is consistent with with the idea of idealism vs. realism. Leftist leaning individuals are idealistic in nature. In terms of life stages, "idealism" often represents a younger, more optimistic perspective where individuals tend to focus on grand possibilities, high ideals, and believe in significant change, while "realism" is associated with later life stages where people tend to be more grounded, pragmatic, and accept the limitations of the world as it is, often prioritizing practical solutions over lofty dreams or ideals.

In early-adulthood, this is often seen as a period of idealism, where young adults may be passionate about social change, pursue lofty career aspirations, and believe in their ability to make a significant impact. Approaching mid-adulthood is where the switch to realism begins. As individuals gain more life experience, they generally transition towards a more realistic perspective, balancing idealism with practical considerations, acknowledging trade-offs and making more calculated decisions. Later-adulthood is when individuals further lean towards realism, prioritizing stability, security, and making choices that align with their current priorities and limitations.

If by mid-adulthood leftists haven’t gained lived experience to shape their views to being more balanced with realism, it sheds light on being behind in developmental milestones. Mental health issues are almost always the reason for this.

So what are your mental health issues Salmo? Or are you such a brainwashed, mid-level IQ that you can’t see outside of your confined, narrow-minded, tribalistic, “never Republican” views?
