when I was an idealistic teenager I thought all right-wingers were evil or ignorant. then I grew up, gained some life experience, studied political theory and met principled conservatives from all walks of life. that’s how I learned I was completely right the whole time.
@focusfronting Yep — certainly for as long as I've been alive
@focusfronting "I just want low taxes bro!"
@focusfronting No kids, right? That's what did it for me.
@focusfronting I am amused that my already conservative teenage self was told I would only get more conservative as I aged, and man, they fucked that prediction up.
@focusfronting I... have complicated feelings on this, given a person once close to me became an extreme right-winger later in her life, but ultimately, yeah. 😮💨
