Quote by: Doug what, in your opinion, made you change? |
Vitriolic talk radio types like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. Conservatives in general that I spoke with who were just toting the party line. This made me sick. The Iraq war and also Bush's handling of the war and the lies about the war.
Some particular experience?Like I said, dumbasses like Rush limbaugh. The kool aid drinkers etc. And a group of conservatives who singled me out for my opinions on certain things. I have long since shifted from the far right. I was a centrist really. But I find myself more and more agreeing with Democratic policies. I used to be just like Mr. V and GBA. But I like to think I smartened up.
Some change in your life situation?Talking with co workers. Getting an overall feel of other people. Conservatives for the most part believe in American Exceptionalism and how "This is the greatest goddamm country in the whole godddamm world you motherfucker!" When in reality it is not.
Or some extended exposure to a different way of thinking? No
Or something else?No

So … if you switched, why did you do it? |
Really it is an opening of my mind. Neo cons are close minded fools. It only takes a few glances at the right wing blogosphere and these boards to discover this. I became more aware. More aware internationally and also aware of other cultures. Aware of the root of modern day American problems.
