How often do you change your mind politically? Examples? Are there bipartisan examples?

I said i dont think we should have in god we trust on money separation church and state. My cousin said what's it hurting. He was right, I changed my view.

This is unclear. Do you think 'in god we trust' should be on our money and separation of church and state is a bad idea?

I used to think Ayn Rand's Objectivism provided a meaningful ethical and political view. Now I lean toward Laissez-faire Capitlism being the root cause of so many of our society's issues.

At first I thought having in god we trust on money was an overreach between the church and state. Then my cousin basically pointed out that it doesnt really hurt anyone plus theism is big in the usa so itd be representing a lot of people. So I agreed and changed my view. Church and state need to be careful as bed fellows but that specific example ain't a big deal, in my book

I am more in-line with your previous opinion, especially given the rise of Christian Nationalism. Separation of Chruch and state best represents everyone rather just a lot of people.

People change their minds often, but they do not change their nature. They remain the same even after changing their mind.

Well stated Debs...I knew that your therapy training would come in useful one day.

I never change my mind...Well I sometimes do...But there again I never do...Though I do sometimes...Never...Often...No I don't...Yes I do.

You never change your mind, your mind remains changed.

I’ve become increasingly libertarian over the years. I still consider myself conservative, but less than I do libertarian.

This started around COVID. I had liked Trump’s economic policies, but then Trump started handing out checks during the pandemic, funded by newly printed money. And then Biden saw what Trump did and decided one-up the idiocy.

From stimulus checks to tariffs, there’s plenty of reasons to criticize his economics… sure, he’s not as economically illiterate as the Dems, but he could do so much better.

And that was the start of my libertarian shift.

Next you will be a socialist.

I used to be kind of Libertarian, now I think Libertarians should be put in jail and the government should hire homeless schizophrenics to sit outside their cells on a stool and mock/taunt them 24/7.

Those are two extremes of the same coin.
