People will come up with a lot of reasons for this, but I think it is probably because millenials lives aren't really better at age 35-40 than it was at age 20. Our parents made great strides in this time. They had shed their college debt, were maybe on house number 2 or 3, could afford 2-3 kids, etc. Now, millenials, at age 35-40, still have tons of college debt, can't even approach buying a house, and it appears we'll NEVER be able to retire, etc. What exactly drives that person to conservatism? In previous generations if you really thought Republicans could drive down the monthly income you needed in retirement by 50 percent or something, then it made sense. Now? We don't even think we can retire.
