Different for each person. Very early if indoctrinated, like religion or peer culture. Some catch it when they transition to working life or overall success and catch the I got mine disease. I’d say it grows fairly early, teens at the latest, and solidifies early 20s. The I got mine crowd can happen late, like 30-40.
Those people will eventually grow old and die while their children grow up to be slightly less conservative (on average).
That is unfortunately not how anything works. These people were young as well once, and that didn’t stop them from becoming conservative.
Progress is coming. One funeral at the time.
That’s what I thought 20 years ago but today I am not so sure :(
Right wing propaganda is a helluva drug.
For real, the older I get the more sure I am this is part of an endless struggle.
I like to think we’re 2 steps forward and 1 step back kind of species

Generally the age when they start to feel overwhelming fear of change and the unfamiliar. Exposure therapy is probably the best cure.
