A recent study showed that, while the right wing leanings come with
age theory is true to some extent, it has also been found that there
is a generational effect as well. Not every generation starts from
the same base line and the current trend is for successive
generations to start off more left wing than their predecessors. That
means that, while members of that generation may well move to the
right as they age, they probably won't end up as far right as the
generation before them. The crossover point is not fixed.


It is also the case that political bias and Political Correctness in
education has steadily increased with time (Long March Through the
Institutions, Common Purpose, the EU
(https://ec.europa.eu/unitedkingdom/e...g-materials_en)
etc.)

After a year or two out of education, the more intelligent ones will
see that and many will be quite annoyed about it. Also, my generation
pushed back against mainly Right-wing parents, but today's generation
have more Left-wing parents.

That is why academics display a childlike innocence in their political bias.


So it could just as easily go the other way.
