I’m in my early 40s, and I’m more of a leftist today than I was when I was 18.
As I get older I realize how much shittier of a world we are leaving for our kids. I’m 52 and much more cognizant of my more liberal views and how much more “correct” they are now than I was was in my early 20s. My age and wisdom have taught me this.
The entire premise of conservatism is that the way things are now (or how they recently were), and the projection of this into the future, is the best possible way for things to be. How absolutely stupid do you have to be to believe that?
“Let’s just stop here, things are as good as they’re going to get. No improvements can be made.”

Conservatism only works when you have something to conserve.
We’re inheriting a dying world. Why would I want to conserve the actions and attitudes that precipitated that?
For that to work tough enough people have to be better off than their folks. Boomers hoarded the power and money, and now they try to cheat to keep it as the next two generations remain more liberal than expected with age.
bernie lived so long that turned around the globe and now he’s a leftist
Wait, are we supposed to be adults? collarPull
We’re incapable of mounting a defence of our objectively moronic positions, so we’ll just smugly insist you’ll understand when you grow up.
Brought to you by the entitled cunts that robbed the global economy and destroyed the environment, dooming the entire species.
That’s as conservative as it gets
I swing both ways depending on the wind
I mean, that’s arguably incredibly conservative. “The old ways” and all that.
I used to be more liberal until covid happened. “Rules for thee but not for me!”
Looks like someone wasn’t paying attention then.
Edit: okay that was a little harsh. But maybe I will still say if that was what you focused on and took away from the pandemic it seems like you missed the bigger picture of politics and perspectives of who was actually using science to guide choices and who has people’s best interests in mind.
Democrat politicians constantly passed all these covid restrictions and then then partied in Republican-led areas like Florida and Texas, or just violated their own rules.
That did not give me the impression that they cared.
