This post is wild to me, where I live it's certainly true people are becoming more conservative as they age, and they're the most kind generous people I know.
Where are you living? This post I'm fairly sure is true in most Western countries and many non-Western ones.
Conservatives can be friendly as long as you look and act exactly how they think you should.
Have you seen the kind of people they vote for?
The kind of laws they get enacted?
Not very nice.
Would they still be kind and generous if your skin color was different? Your religion? Your pregnancy status?
Conservatives are, at best, selectively nice.
