why is it that you hardly hear of a conservative turning liberal ?

[yidnar]

i'm not saying that it does not happen but it is very rare to hear of someone who was conservative when they were young become a liberal ! but it is common to hear of people who were liberal when they were young turn conservative when they get older !! i would say that after living and and working in the real world these young people change to conservatism because life experience and gained wisdom [common sense] caused them to switch to conservatism !!

Its natural to get wiser as you age...its unnatural for a healthy person to regress in intelligence as you get older.......

 

[Justin Richardson]

My question would be:

Why would any conservative switch to being a liberal?

Especially, when liberals and their ideology are like oranges and apples.

The only way a liberal would switch would because they are sick and tired of being screwed. And they rather see the country move forward in the right direction. Not watching it go to hell.

Just watch the current dem field try and stupid each other....no conservative wants anything to do with the lunacy

Because when you have a functioning frontal lobe and you use it into adulthood it's difficult to turn it off.

You have to be deliberately ignorant, unable to be ashamed of it, and too stupid to recognize the harm you cause by promoting regressive philosophies.

"Conservatism" or at least opposition to globalist collectivism is a dominant philosophy because you can not be a thinking person and conclude what liberals believe in.

I personally don't adhere to "conservatism", but it's because I don't give a fuck about what other people do. For instance in circumstances such as when leftist skanks and their soy boy bed wetting beta male "partners" fail to contain their genetic garbage and "choose" to have the waste properly disposed of at a planned unparenthood clinic you will not see me protest.

I don't care if oxygen thieves drug themselves into a vegetative state, but they should face the consequences for that behavior.

I was a libtard in my teenage years, but I was forced to think in order to survive. Too many people have escaped and remain fugitives from natural selection thanks to government subsidies and by taking refuge in their parent's basements.

Some people just find a balance between the two. They can embrace ideas from both philosophies. They may lean a little more one way or the other, but do not necessarily march in lockstep.

the vast majority of people who switch parties switch from liberal to conservative .
