I haven't changed

Still unique

Still believe English should be the official us language

Sharply conservative which is odd given my background

I've become more liberal. Hard not to when you're raised Southern Baptist

Couldn't have got much more conservative.

started at liberal and went left

I think I've stayed the same centrist while both sides have become more extreme.

Liberal wasn't really a thing in the UK 40 years ago. Then the label has been passed around different groups lookin for a margin to sit in.

I'm more solidly this is all bollocks than before.

Always stayed to the left.

it depends on the topic, some things I've become extremely liberal on, others more conservative...overall I'd say I'm around the same...centre to left.

gone to the left on some issues while maintaining conservative stances on a lot of other things.

we shouldn't be arguing about the legality of abortion or gay marriage, for instance. but i strongly believe in the second amendment. i'm center with a bit of a tilt to the right.

More liberal as for me too

I'm a RINO

More liberal during college, more conservative in the time after that.

I heard this quote once something like that a young conservative is a jerk, and an old liberal is an idiot.

I was always liberal.. the Trump era and all its craziness has turned me into a leftist radical.

I’m not really changing my politics all that much as I get older. I think I’m just learning better boundaries.

eh not always that easy. my parents have always been liberal to where they voted green party. i guess it's the circumstances of your upbringing and your willingness to change your views on certain topics.

for me, social conservatism seems to be rooted in some sort of fear. weed smokers and LGBT people aren't going to cause gloom and doom.

I am socially conservative because the moral fabric of our society is falling apart. Society is going to hell, only an idiot would not see that. And a lot of it is due to the left. Music and culture is full of violence, sexual violence, degradation etc as if it were normal. Kids are addicted to social media and they are brainwashed to think they have to look photoshopped and get plastic surgery to be attractive. Suicide rates in young people increase and increase. Teens think they have the option to change genders if they don't fit in/are experiencing identity issues. I am not talking about true trans people.
This is backed by facts and research.
This is just obvious.

Also, frequent weed use is associated with longterm impairments. That's also research-based.
Can we stop pretending that the left's go-to social justice issues are actually without concern.

Blame the internet.

I feel like it’s just the what hath god wrought telegraph turned up really loud.

I’ve been pretty liberal my whole life. If anything, I’ve become more open to things as I’ve grown and gotten to know people. I never really understood how people who are the most conservative are also the most religious. Aren’t you supposed to care for and about people?

Conservative

Perhaps both sides actually care for and about people, but there's just a difference in how they go about it.

Yeah like one through empty words, and don't forget thoughts and prayers.

Like looking to address the actual issues rather than actions that achieve little except political gain for the Lefties.
