Life happens and as some of us mature and become wiser our values and insights sharpen. Our political positions evolve. Bottom line, James is perhaps slightly more liberal than he was 20 years ago, but not by much. I too am more liberal on social issues than I was 20 years ago. But not a ton. I bet James agrees with me when I say that the parties have moved much farther to the extremes than we have.
Yes, indeed, the parties have moved farther than I have, for sure. I've moved left the most on social issues. Still, I think that would tend to happen to anyone who had the pleasure of raising a special-needs, on-the-spectrum, neurodivergent child and who had to be a full-time caregiver for a close family member with advanced Alzheimer's related dementia. Nothing opens your eyes to the plight of others like navigating disability services and care.
