    I mean… they were right… i am more conservative as i got older. I now put more money in my 401k. I save more. I eat at home more.

    However, i still think other races and sexual preferences are human, and billionaires dont need to exist. Social welfare is still a good thing and probably more important than ever.

    I did buy a gun though. Target shooting is fun. But, we need a hell of alot more gun control than there is now. If anything, my experience buying a gun made me more scared due to how easy it was.

      I don’t think saving money and eating at home are conservative values.

      Lots of liberals and progressives do those things, too.

      Heck, poor minorities do that to an extreme.

      Political conservatism is distinctly NOT about IRL conservatism.

      What they conserve is the “social order”. They want to preserve the social stratification, not forests.
