the whole notion of “people growing more conservative as they grow older” is a relic from the time before conservatism started becoming the party of gamergate edgelords and identity politics.
The funny part is that conservatism has been on the losing of human progress for thousands of years. Over and over and over again, the same political, social and economic patterns play out. Something disruptive happens, conservatives recoil from it, progressives embrace it, conservatives eventually get pulled along kicking and screaming, often violently.
I just don’t understand how people can read even a little bit of history and not see that conservatism is doomed to lose every battle it fights until it finally destroys everything for good.

You’re ignoring the times when the conservatives do succeed in killing everyone they hate.
