i used to be a republican so
Honest curious question: what made you change your mind?
Honest answer? When trump said “Take the guns away first, due process later.” I was a pretty big gun nut at the time and it felt like a slap in the face. Shortly afterwards I encountered a YouTube video that actually explained the science behind climate change in a way that made it obviously true and that I hadn’t encountered before. The conservative worldview is a house of cards, once you take out a couple the whole thing falls apart pretty quickly.
Now I’m a very progressive atheist and more than a little ashamed of my former self. Still like guns, but I keep that to myself
Don’t spend much time being ashamed of your former self, instead, be proud of your current self.
Thanks! I’m perfectly capable of both. They say cringing at your former self is a sign of growth
I admire your ability for self reflection and openmindedness, brother. Cheers.
Jumped the horseshoe gap, nice!
I don't personally have the emotional resiliency to own a gun right now but I'm VERY pro gun. We can't be letting the conservatives have all of them that's terrifying.
