Have you had a political stance shift?

[blissinanarchy1]

Was a center left. Because I do understood that there are mistreatments that aren’t obvious and apparent.

I’m shifting more to the right tbh because woke culture is just so narcissistic and in your face. And you’re a nazi if you disagree

My values haven't changed, but politics have.

I have 60-s, 70's liberal values - peace, love, freedom, fairness, justice, distrust of authority and anti-war.
Today's liberalism seems the opposite.
Wokeness is just divisiveness, insanity and violence disguised as tolerance and justice.
The Democratic party is full neoliberal (corporatist and authoritarian) and bent on the destruction of this country.

Even though I am not conservative or Republican, I find that I have more in common with them than I do with most of today's leftists. And I have NOTHING in common with Democrats.

No, I've always been a "crazy leftist"—well, except for a few months as a teenager. But it was made pretty clear to me that even the beliefs we seem to share are based on very different principles.

My husband on the other hand used to be very right wing before we met. He was subscribed to manoverse type shit, raised super conservative religious & even fucking voted for Trump. It took getting away from his parents for college for him to actually take time to ask what he believed, & why. Coincidentally we met right after he got into a fight w/ his brother over his changing political stance.

He's still got some right wing habits, like being drawn to conspiracy theories, very cold & competitive in debate, general discomfort w/ change, and sometimes not taking danger seriously (ie guns & covid). But he's pretty much settled on the left now since he agrees w the main principles over here.

I’ve become more libertarian as I’ve gotten older. I believe more in individual freedoms, whether that’s gun rights, abortion, weed, speech, religious freedom, expansion of voting rights, or the right to protest. A strong belief in civil rights and the equal Protection clause goes along with that. Government should ensure equality and stay out of our business on most other things unless there are people being directly harmed. The political left and right increasingly want to restrict certain freedoms to advance their partisan goals. I no longer trust either. They’re both oppressive mobs.

Since I turned eighteen, my political beliefs have changed in the following ways:

1. I've gone from thinking "we should have immigration reform" to thinking "we NEED immigration reform".

2. I've gone from thinking "I don't like guns" to thinking "I don't like guns, but I understand why they're necessary".

In terms of alignment, however, this has moved me from center-left to right, as the Overton window has slipped out of its sill and fallen down a hole in the yard that ends in Morlock territory.

I have doubted sometimes but now im more convinced than never about my political stance. I know some parties do a good job in one thing and others in other things but im convinced right now that im doibg the right election.

Having a shift is not something wrong, like Aristotle said "It is important for those who wish to achieve certainty in their research, knowing how to doubt in time."

[Sasahara]

Both yes and no. In theory I should be a slightly right leaning centrist by American standards, but SJWs went far left and dragged the center with them that I become right leaning without changing my stances. Both the left and the right has points I can agree with, but I'm not going to support the extremes of either ends.

[kylee2437]

Yea I’ve decided to not side either either because both of them have extremists that are counterproductive

[Billlewis]

This generation of young people have two basic choices. --to reject the inevitable end of their nation, autonomy and their entire way of life, or mortgage their future in exchange for being more hip, trendy and fashionable today.

[gothbxtch]

nope. ever since i’ve been old enough to have a political opinion, i’ve been a radical far left socialist.

Calling people Nazis says a lot about your mentality.

[blissinanarchy1]

I’m not calling anyone a Nazi, you misread. The woke culture calls you a Nazi if you disagree with anything.

[OddBeMe]

No my stance doesn’t bend to the wind or get sidetracked by idiotic things like “woke”.
