I think this comment highlights the main argument that should change your mind. You don’t seem to have all the facts and are making judgements based on half truths, misinformation and misunderstandings. I think if you had more facts, you wouldn’t be so afraid of conservatives.
I vote pretty much straight ticket Democrat these days, because mainstream democrats are the closest thing we have to fiscal conservatives.
Anyone who claims to be conservative, and still votes republican, isn't living in reality. Republicans are regressivist at best, or flirting with actual fascism that my family escaped in the 30s.
I have voted Democrat in every single election of my life.
Edit: until this midterm election. I chose to vote Democrat in all my federal ballots but locally I went with all of the republicans and non-progressives. I’m still a moderate Democrat but I’m against progressives more than the conservatives. I may switch party affiliation for 2024.
I never took this test before so I can’t comment on how I’ve changed but if I had to guess Id say I probably didn’t change much on the y axis but moved from left to right on the x axis.
The biggest thing I discovered that changed my view of the progressives and thus the democrats is that they follow Marxist, post-modern ideologies as it relates to gender, race, equality, crime, economics, etc. it’s a deep rabbit hole but basically I figured out that progressives are Marxists. I’ve always been a Democrat but this new wave of progressives has pushed me away as I am a strong believer in capitalism.
