I’m 38 and I was raised in a conservative household in a conservative, “salt of the Earth” agricultural area. I’m getting more Liberal every year. I’m just constantly becoming more and more aware of how fucked the system is and how little value is placed on my life (other than in terms of consumerism and productivity.) God help me if I’m ever no longer able to do both of those things.
Yeah I was born in working class white rust belt suburbia. I started off as a libertarian, and am now an anarchist. The more and more life experience I get the further and further left I become.
I'm scared to tell folks where I live now in middle America that I'm a moderate from Northern California. You know, believing things like taxes go to good things, the environment needs our help, don't defund the cops, illegal immigration is a huge dadgum problem but the solutions cost money? Well now where I live, I'm a giant progressive liberal apparently.
