I am becoming more conservative…we have to return to the old ways…let’s go fight Nazis in the streets
What’s the screenshot from?
Left as a kid, then drifted to center. On track to that point. But then, slow burn left from 40 years old through early 50s, and then a hard sprint left. Conservatives when I was young seemed like bitter dried up out of touch assholes most of the time, and as I’ve become older I’ve discovered they are also bigoted racist misogynist assholes who will suck off any leader who promises to hurt the right people for them.
I don’t think I could possibly live long enough to want to associate myself with those fuckers.
I’m a former Trump supporter. I will never support Republicans or MAGA ever again after all they’ve done. So I’ve aged but I’ve become more progressive and open minded, not more conservative.
What changed your mind?
It was Trump’s mishandling of the pandemic that got me started questing things, the rise of the anti-vax among his supporters and the violence that happened after the election. Then over the four years I started to change my mind about more and more things and repeatably realized I was wrong.
I was libertarian in my 20s.
Now I’m 40 and –
ARISE, YE WORKERS FROM YOUR SLUMBER…You have nothing to lose but your chains!
Bespoke: You’ll become more Druid when you’re older.
I’ve only gotten more progressive as time goes on because of all [gestures vaguely] this.
