The definition of a "meme" here is intentionally pretty loose. Images, screenshots, and the like are welcome!
But, keep it lighthearted and/or within our server's ideals.

People don't become conservative as they age, they become conservative as they accumulate wealth which in the past has typically correlated with age. Once they have wealth they want to protect it.
Nowadays people don't accumulate wealth as easily so it takes longer before they develop more conservative views if at all.
It's an "I got mine, screw everyone else" tendency.
