Is it a problem? Older people are more likely to vote and spend more time on Facebook. Older people have more money to donate to parties and spend on products they are advertised.
If it is a problem, it sounds like a great one to have. What's best: new old people are being made every day and they are a huge cohort right now.
This will also surprise the youth-o-philes in SV, but young people eventually grow up to be old people and they almost always change drastically in political views, media consumption, and purchase decisions. Sure, they probably won't be on Facebook and the current Republican party will change, but that just means Instagram will be the new old people place and the future Republicans will have made their mark.

I knew a bunch of really lefty people in the colleges I went to. Now that they're full adults, only one still adheres to that mantra. My guess about it all is that it's easy to be conservative when you have something to conserve. It's easy to be liberal when you're not invested in a house, neighborhood, career, children, etc... because most of your life is ephemeral.
