Young people generalize everything and end up not solving problems.

Older people have already seen all the patterns, and realize you have to focus on specifics, and that helps clean up the general issue.

The old people's tolerance for general problems is why the general problems persist.

A realistic dynamic is the old people are comfortable with the general problems and have positioned themselves to benefit from them. Indeed, they solved the general problems that troubled them in their youth with political activism in their middle age. The young people have different political needs that require general problems to be solved.

Also young people have a terrible track record of actually identifying problems, they are pretty clueless in the main.

Or they just realize that the general problems are insoluble.

Policies enacted elsewhere usually don't have the Brussels Effect.

I assume you mean EU directives and not Belgian law, and the thing is it's incredibly hard to pass an EU directive, it needs to originate in the Commission, then pass qualified majority in the Council then pass a vote in the Parliament. Nothing without a broad consensus can get anywhere near.

The California part is partially to highlight the fact that its a very liberal state and this is the kind of laws that liberals pass, but people fail to realize that all of these laws come from Republican lawmakers, as there are plenty of right wing people in California.
