have you changed you political views as you have gotten older in life and if so how much different than it is now that when you were young?

I was more of a liberal back in the 60's but by the 80,s i turned conservative.

after years of reading comments written by conservatives, especially here

I've grown further away from them.

I honestly believe they are less evolved.

no

I would more say I modified my views. I was a bit more liberal in my youth, and now I consider myself a moderate conservative, Libertarian leaning.

I voted for Jimmy Carter (dumb, dumb, dumb) when he ran against Ronald Reagan in 1980.

My politics gradually moved to the right over the years, but my 'red pill' moment was the Bill Clinton administration when I finally became fed up with the lies, hypocrisy and historical revisionism of the left.

And, now I'm convinced the modern liberal elite are pure evil and rank-and-file leftists are mentally ill.

Not really. I've called myself by different things over the years, but I've realized my core beliefs and opinions didn't change. That's one reason why I don't go in for labels. They obscure more than they reveal. And when I was growing up and was younger, gay marriage and gender fluidity was not a mainstream issue. But I have been mostly live and let live, until it involves hurting people or turning a blind eye to people hurting.

Left-leaning in my late 60's/early 70's college years. Once I was established in my career and more interested in politics, I gradually moved to the right....and am now conservative mainly due to the Left's use of my tax dollars to keep the poor trapped in Welfare Slavery in exchange for their votes.

Sure

When I was in my early twenties, I was the type of selfish prick who spouted off about libertarian principles, mostly because I had no real concept of how a society is maintained, no empathy, no real social skills, and had been influenced by cheap scifi and political tracts. So an imaginary system of government which endorsed my own selfish, childish nature seemed perfect.

Then I realized every real world libertarian who demanded the government not solve a problem, was never going to solve that problem. They just didn't care about anyone's else's problems. They didn't actually care about any of the rights issues, I cared about, they just cared about taxes. Your ditch makes the neighbor's house flood? Screw them, they're downhill. Your sewer pipe poisons the neighbors? Screw them, they shouldn't have bought a house down river. Kids are starving? Well if they didn't want to starve, they should have picked better parents, I have mine, all I care about is keeping mine. The fictional libertarian heroes didn't exist, but the problems were still there.

You can either give people a hand up or you can shoot them in the face. I chose the hand up.

I've become more liberal on most issues, but on economic issues I used to be more left. Now I'm liberal on those issues.

No, I haven’t.
