went into addiction a liberal and came out a conservative
Lots of recovering addicts experience the same change of view.
Leftism and liberalism are enabling behaviours. If you consider complacency, laziness, entitlement, victimhood-status seeking, and similar behaviours to be "addictions" then it's clear how the liberal or the leftist are enablers.
Once they realize this they then become conservative.
Happened to me, sadly. Minus the pain.
So basically just got addicted.
That was many years ago and I've left that life behind but honestly it's weird. I went into addiction a liberal and came out a conservative. Shrug

A life worth living.
