Was there a certain event in your life that changed your political views? Or...

So general concensus is as you get older and bitter you become conservative

This pretty much explains it. The 2016 US presidential election was the turning point for a lot of people. A few members even said so on the 1st page. I think the social justice warriors aren't helping with recruiting people into the left, they're just making it easier for people to be apathetic or go into a different direction politically.

When ur a neutral person and u see siablo holding up a sign that says “love trumps hate” while looting some department store

u know which side is wrong

[Butt stuff]

seeing all the types of people voting Hillary kinda made me lean the other way


like a representation of that ******ed ass crybaby generation today

Yeah this. They also look for reasons to be outraged and destroy somewhat ignorant or naive, yet innocent, people’s lives.

The left is meant to be about being open minded and giving a **** about people but it literally feels like the left are getting more ******ed by the day, I’ve moved much more centre.

Different things change us as we get older. The 2016 election made the left look awful or well, they actually did that to themselves. I was happy to see the fall but I didn't realize it would be quite THAT pathetic. LOL

The 2016 election really changed my view of both parties, it made me make a self promise to never associate myself with a politic party.

Things have become either so far right or left just to spite each other. I do agree right now though the left has dug themselves into a deep hole & the people they are supposed to be protecting, well they r ****ting all over them. There are very very very few conservative Democrats left. I hope Tony V wins california govenorship.
