I'm not saying old people are set in their ways permanently and young people aren't; I'm saying old people are more set in their ways. I'm betting it's easier for people to write off stuff they believed in at 15 as a phase than it is for them to write off a decade or two of adult political activity as wrong.
that is true but I don't think older people often being set in stone is necessarily indicative that your average young person knows that much less about politics, hell studies have shown people are worse at recognizing fake news as they age
i've literally changed boomers' whole ideologies by messing with their facebook feeds
