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 Man, this really hit home for me. I’m a previously registered Republican who has become increasingly liberal since the second Bush tried to wish WMD into reality as an excuse to wage war. I’m certainly not becoming more conservative as is generally attributed to oldsters.

Living in ultra-conservative East Tennessee, I often find myself biting my tongue.
