    I think a lot of that conservatism simply shows that they were always an awful person.

    Like, when you’re young and you have no money, if you’re a greedy fuck, then you’re a progressive. “I want other people to give me money.”

    But when you’re old and you have already made your money, and you’re still a greedy fuck, then you’re a conservative. “I don’t want to give my money to other people.”

    You don’t really care about politics. You just care about yourself and your money.

    I think sometimes people forget that, even if you’re on the good team, you’ll almost certainly have a lot of bad people on your team.
