At what point in your life did you decide to be a liberal? Or a conservative?

A few different moments led to it. I took 4 economy classes in college. Every one of them led to seeing how bad over regulation is on the free market and how letting the free market lead is the best way for an economy to grow.

I had this friend who's parents were on welfare. Her dad hadn't looked for a job in months. He sat around all day drinking beer that he bought with his welfare check while his wife did the shopping with EBT. He claimed disability as an alcoholic and THEY GAVE HIM MORE MONEY. Then I look at my parents who work their ass off to pay taxes to give to this guy.

The last thing is i hate when people try to play the victim. I know that the leader of the republican party is Trump and he is always the victim too, but this is a very common thing that democrats do. They are offended by everything and always want to be the victim. They always want to be oppressed so that A) they have an excuse when they fail and B) they want to have something to fight against.

Lastly, I have a lot of family and friends in the military. Democrats want to decrease military spending. I want to have the strongest military possible so that we dont have to use it as much. Use NK as an exaple for other countries. Strike hard and fast. Take out Kim Jong Un and half the country with MOABS. They all hate us anyways. You will only have to do that once.

Also socially. I do not care if gays get married, but I do hate abortion, and yes it is from growing up christian and believing that it is Gods life to choose what to do with.
