Anyone hear ever done a political 180?
The fact that you can't explain should be an incandescent red message to yourself on a field of midnight blue.I'll start. Yes, I used to be very conservative and over the past 15 years have become very liberal in many respects. I can't really explain why and that is why I posted this pole.
Absolutely....when I was young 18-21, I was very Republican (even voted for Reagan....a vote that I am ashamed of to this day).
However, I grew up....received a good amount of education and have changed my views 180 degrees.
I chalk it up to being young, naive and ignorant.
And the partisan hackery continues. :doh
I've done a 180 with a retrograde 90.
young and liberal
middle-age and conservative
late middle-age fiscal conservative, social semi-liberal.
Unlike Blackdog, I still like Reagan.
Sorry....just being honest. Once I grew up and left my sheltered existence and went into the real world, I saw that many of the beliefs that I had were completely wrong.....
I was once active in high school and college with young Republican groups...but the more educated I got and the more exposure to real people, the more my attitudes and beliefs changed.
Funny, I went through the same process.
That's funny because the one thing I credit Reagan for was opening my eyes to how wrong almost everything he stood for was.
Fortunately, there are no rules yet that we must all think alike.
so there is hope for you afterall
I'm afraid my process started out as being Liberal then seeing the truth as I got older.

You find people saying the exact same thing except with a switch in the opposite direction. Do you have something a bit stronger than this or a further explanation? Being as philosophical as possible is proportional to my appreciation of your answer.
You want my frickin life story while I'm at it?
