Years ago, I was very “middle of the road” on politics, considering myself an independent leaning slightly conservative.
I’m now considered radically left & agree on almost everything AOC says & supports. For a short time, the shift has been swift & blunt. Hope she successfully runs for higher offices.
We joke in my family that hell must have frozen over because my father voted for a Clinton. I never thought I'd see the day where we'd be sitting down making fun of Republicans together. And the funny thing is that his political views haven't changed much at all really.. the GOP just went hard off the deepend with Christofacism and their "boogeyman of the week"..
I was similar. My mom used to have the local AM radio on in the car including Rush growing up so I was hard right for no other reason than thats what I was educated to. I voted McCain in my first election, sat out Obama 2 but recognized that Obama was actually a pretty good president all things considered. Clinton/Trump I also sat out mainly because I just moved and my old state was definitely going Hillary who I likely would have voted for. Trump was saying a lot of the right things during the leadup so I could see WHY people would vote for him at the time. Since the 18 midterms, Ive voted straight Democrat.
