I think it ultimately came down to family for me. I value family and I value life and I felt that conservatives shared that. I am a foster mom and I started feeling like liberals were a threat to my foster children because it didn't matter how my kids were suffering, they seemed to side with bio parents. I also heard a lot of liberals using foster kids as a reason to justify abortion and it infuriated me because I felt they were saying my children don't deserve life and they would be better off dead. None of my children deserve that and they certainly don't feel that way. Changing direction a bit, feminists have really offended me in that they constantly try to make me feel like a victim because I choose to be a more traditional wife and mother. The point of feminism is to empower women yet they are hypocritical in that they are trying to shame me for my life choices to try to make me submissive to their agenda.
