they go after all they hate about america

the older you get, the more conservative you become.

Although in my case, it has been the exact opposite.

When I got out of college I actually was more conservative. If you work hard you’ll get ahead, gays are bad and we must defer to authority. Now as I get older 40 years later, I have become more compassionate, and knowledgeable that I really know jack shit.

I get further and further to the left as I get older.

I think I've not only grown more liberal, I've found less and less common ground on any issue with Republicans.

I actually had a sort of flirtation with conservatism and libertarianism when I was younger. You know, sort of like the 'ex-girlfriend from Hell!' meme.

Edit to add: That old saw about people becoming more conservative with age is really based on the idea that a person 'of a certain age' would want to protect what they've gained. Tell that to people who've been laid off multiple times, had jobs outsourced and are nearing retirement with few resources.

I was already liberal but now I am ultra liberal right down to being pro guaranteed minimum income.

I grew up in a right leaning family, joined the army, and combat pushed me hard left. I had kids a few years later, and that experience pushed me further left.

The older I get, the more left I go.

I would gladly leave of the endangered lists. Extinction is ok sometimes.

We're not getting scared of humans being a different color or culture?

Hurray, mon dysfunctional peeps.

No way am I ever going to be a conservative.

Everything they want to know is already in their cell phones. I'm perfectly serious: Who needs god when you've got the whole world in your hand?

I think it might just save the planet, if we can get beyond our primitive tribalism and think globally and long-term.

I am 41 now, and been on DU since I was 27. And I've only gotten more liberal as time goes on. Eventually the republican Party as we know it will go extinct. Demographic trends all point to this. We just have to make sure they do as little damage as possible in the meantime.
