My basic views have never changed that much, since they were based on strong principles of my faith, which I’ve also never changed, though I have questioned it.
I am more open to thinking there is more than one right way to do things for a country, as long as some basic principles are always adhered to.
Like one side thinks one solution works, the other has a different one, maybe either could work if done the right way.
I do have a problem with hypocrisy though, if people on any political spectrum say one thing, but do another, or only try to help one group, but ignore another, then I think it’s wrong.
I have become a bit more centrist I think than my parents, but, not enough to really cause conflict. My conflict is with extremists in any group, not with the rational minded people in them who can compromise.
If that answers the prompt, I’m not sure, it’s kind of a tough one for me.
I was brought up as a good kid, family values and respect for all humankind. But now when I am attacked with disparaging words by the opposition party my blood boils. I do not appreciate words like ‘deplorable’ fascist or racist. I am NOT. I am a follower of the mantra [AMERICA FIRST!!]

I’m not sure how this relates to my post other than I mentioned the hypocrisy of a lot of people, but I do agree that the name calling is stupid. It proves nothing.
