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
Thanks! I’m perfectly capable of both. They say cringing at your former self is a sign of growth
