[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve noticed several of my relatives - parents, aunts, uncles - are starting to act a bit different as they get older. Most of them are in their 60’s. Some go very extreme in terms of political beliefs (in either direction). Others become more milquetoast.

I’m not the only one in my family to see this, when I’ve spoken about this with my younger relatives they see it too. It’s just weird because people I’ve known my whole life are different people from 15-20 years ago.

Is this a normal thing that happens with aging?[/quote]

I have noticed this, but when i think about it I am noticing some women I know in their 30s and 40s have become really extreme in their politics-militant. They were once reasonable progressive leaning with critical thinking skills are while they still considered themselves progressive, they have more in common with the extreme right than they do with most of the other democrats I know. I know that sounds sexist, but none of the men I know in this age group have become like this, even their spouses. They almost seem indoctrinated. It's only wealthy white women I know who became like this. None of my more diverse friends-financially or ethnically diverse are so extreme.[/quote]
