I was extremely conservative as a young man, only becoming more liberal (independent) since the second W Bush admin.

And yet I keep hearing people tell me that I'll get more conservative as I get older. 🤔

@PadreSJ kind of the same for me. Feel like as I got older I was exposed to more ideas and opinions over time. Trying to be intellectually honest and open to accepting my errors/ignorance on how I had arrived at certain views naturally leads me to where I am now. I try to go where the facts take me and throw in a “don’t be a dick” philosophy when opinion is required.
