How have your political views changed over time?
They say that if you’re not left leaning when you’re young and right leaning when you’re old, you haven’t learned a thing in life.
I’m afraid I disagree with this rigmarole.
You see, one cannot ignore reality. And reality, historical reality, that is, is that both extremes have been tried by and failed humanity.
Communism and Nazism/Fascism are political and moral dead ends. And yet, people are hung over both. Still. Yeah, I know. It takes the wind out of your sails when you have to explain this to people… in 2024.
I honestly believe that most people only desire a few things: small government, low taxes, freedom.
They also want ‘free healthcare’ and in general ‘free stuff’ but they can never be bothered with how or who will pay for all the free stuff.
And that’s how politicians get an in into their hearts and minds. They speculate people’s needs to get them to vote for them.
I care little for what others can give me.
If I want something I’ll work for it.
Don’t need no handouts or freebies.
Any reasonably smart man can tell you there’s no free ride in life.
As for my personal political leanings, they haven’t changed since I took an interest in politics. And that’s the true truth.
