Re: Do political views change with age?

if you have loads of Cushelle multipacks, can you ever be left wing again or, do you need Cushelle, if you blow your own Dung Trumpet?

In that case, anyone slightly to the left is a snowflake.

Genghis Khan as one of my best friends told me when I was 18 I thought him a bit of a trendy leftist

I have always been right wing

Re: Do political views change with age?

My political views were certainly more black and white, making me inclined to follow my party's platform. However, as I have become older, experience and education have inclined me to be more issue-centered and moderate. The one issue in which I have remained most intransigent is fiscal responsibility.

All that said, I think my political views have changed less that politicians' and society as a whole - both of which, at times, have left me frustrated, shaking my head, and mystified.
