Myself

What made you change

Also my parents. It pretty much came naturally when they received notification that their monthly health premiums were substantially increasing last summer.

I used to be a marxist until like two years ago, if that counts as recent

Graduated college, got a real job, bought a house, realized how much I'm actually taxed and, thru my line of work, saw how much money was going to governemental HUD programs that we're essentially black holes for funding which makes me 99% sure that every other government program is the same way.

One of my good friends was liberal his whole life and changed during the election. He was going to vote for Hillary and ended up not voting at all. He's not a conservative (yet) but he won't vote for Democrats anymore.

Me, when i stopped being a teenager.

this desu senpai

what line of work

Yeah, actually, a few. Then there are a lot of people who don't really count as conservative yet, but who are abandoning left.

My feminist, woman's study minor wife

Audit and Accounting. We have a client that is a government funded HUD company that requires an audit every year. Literally hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars are granted to this one company each year for rent subsidies, mortgage assistance, and restoration services in the shittiest of neighborhoods around here that have no hope of being revitalized because of nigs. It's like they're getting rewarded for degeneracy.

I think a lot of normies, for a lack of a better term, are defiantly abandoning the hard left. They are just sick of Marxist bullshit. But hey, its start.

if you sniff enough glue you're bound become conservative eventually

my parents
every time i visit they are one step further in the red-pill ladder

Daily reminder that conservatism is an anti-white ideology and just a different form of liberalism. Either go full natsoc or stay home.

I guess I would count myself. Technically I still hold onto a couple of liberal beliefs like being pro-abortion, but I just can't side with the left due to their overwhelming focus on identity politics and that as a white man I'm apparently the devil. I just can't hate myself for being white despite what the media keeps saying, especially when every other race and culture is allowed to be proud, and as a descendant of German farmers who immigrated to America in the 1920s I'm tired of being lumped in with slavery and Nazi bullshit that has nothing to do with my heritage.

I think the real tipping point is seeing how the transgender things are being pushed onto kids now. While I believe the current batch of twenty-something trans people are just sad depressive fucks who have been failed by society, at the end of the day it's still a choice made by an adult. When you start pumping a child full of hormones because they played with a doll or wore a dress once is when you go too far. We barely trust kids to watch themselves at home, so I don't know why we're letting them pick their gender identity now.

I was never THAT liberal, I always hated sjw's and feminists but I was definitely left, now I consider myself far right.

What made me change was a couple things, I think three really

1) I had depression for years, I don't know if I've beat it permanently but I'm a different person mentally than I was. When I decided to make a change and stop feeling so sorry for myself, I stopped playing video games, smoking weed, fapping etc. and when I did that, my opinions just started growing more right and when I started looking into it, reading right ideas and watching videos, it became clear to me the whole thing is heart vs head, the right seems to me a collection of more objective ideas, thinking, using facts and logic.

2) Feminism is a cancer and I don't want to be associated with fat, pink haired mongoloids.

3) I'm Irish and as such, I'm extremely patriotic. As any Irish person who knows the history of this country would be. I am for the preservation of my country's history and traditions, language, myths, music etc I've always felt that way but now I'm aware of the increasing threat of globalism, Muslims and Niggers.

basically, it all just clicked together.

>last summer
>see guy I was really good friends with in high school for the first time in years
>we were both super liberal
>start talking about the US elections
>friend says "I-I don't know user, but I like what I'm seeing here with T-T-T-Trump
>tfw

I feel ya, bud. I'm still holding onto the dream of a red pilled as fuck gen z. I want to see people like Anita Sarkeesian chased off into the hills by a bunch of centre/left/right teenagers.

>Do you know any liberals who have become conservatives recently?
Yes, but I don't trust them.

The only liberal turned conservative you can trust is one who admits he/she was completely wrong in their liberalism and is now embarrassed/ashamed of it.

The others will stab you in the back.

THAT is why I don't trust PJW.

>makes terrible joke

checks out

Have you read Catherine Austin Fitts (former HUD commissioner) on the black budget?
solari.com/blog/whats-up-with-the-black-budget/

My friend was liberal until he moved into a black neighborhood. I helped him move out and he couldn't stop talking shit about niggers.

This picture fucking infuriates me, because I can't even crack an offensive joke anymore without getting the equivalent to the look

I know of one who constantly preached the "le Muslims are peaceful hehe" meme.

He went as far as hanging out with muzzies with his girlfriend, you can guess how well that turned out.

His scrawny thin frame went to the ground and his girlfriend got fucked by a group of them after he was battered.

He went to the police and they wouldn't help since muzzies are protected class. He's done a 180 now and is no longer a lefty.

...every other government program is the same way.

They all are.

>[
Isn't that the guy from Silicon Valley?

Delusional.

>tfw when your liberal fantasies are shattered in a Bronson-esque fashion

Best friend. Thank fuck.

Would start to lean towards progressive ideals a few years ago. Trump-Clinton election changed him, is becoming more and more redpilled.

I was liberal, but always supported gun rights and hated pretentious wine-sniffing types. Never actually paid attention to politics, but as soon as I did and when I started learning more about Banking/Finance it didn't take long before I was 1488.

Most of my far left friends have become libertarians recently. Not conservative, but libertarian. It's a change.

My closest friend was. He wasn't super leftist. But he claimed to be 'omni-theist' and was pretty egalitarian, but the annoying kind.

lolbergtarian alert

but I'm not joking

haha sounds like a stupid asshole

I'd kick his ass for allowing his girlfriend to get culturally enriched. Piece of fucking shit

lol, I read this while listening to Coon Town

youtube.com/watch?v=0E0q76UJY6U

I know an ugly commie chick who I message when I'm pissed and recently just flat out asked why people like her love Pakis so much. She admitted she hates them and has no idea why we keep bringing them here. But of course she won't say that to her comrades, only FUCK DA TORIES N THATCHA MILK SNATCHER DRUMPFFFF REEEEEEEEE. Sad!

The whole anti-Russia hysteria drove me off Liberalism.

That's step 1. Step 2 comes when you realize that laissez faire doesn't always work out.

sever all contact with spineless scum

her fault for dating such a naive faggot

You have to redpill her, now is the time to strike.

I mean Laci Green went from SJW to full-blown fashy white supremacist recently, so there's that.

Same thing here actually. I am included in that group. I honestly think libertarianism might have a chance at this point because it's getting a surge of support and not just in America, countries like Australia and the UK which aren't countries with a history of libertarian traditions are experiencing their own libertarian/minarchist movements

>thinks liberals and conservatives are actual things and not memes
>unironically posting this on Sup Forums

yeah if you could just stop posting that'd be great

Did she enjoy le muslim cock?

you know how self-obsessed women are, she won't risk losing the group she belongs to

There's a pretty large amount of people like that, who'll espouse liberal views to satisfy their friend group but are secretly conservative. I do that in my area of London, since liberals take any expression of conservatism as an opportunity to "debate"/yell at you.

My father and I.
Not recently though, feel like its been in the works for years. For him, it could've been the obamacare shit a couple of years back when he had to pay more for arguably inferior insurance.
For me, it was lurking Sup Forums and military service.

Why dont you fuck her? Steal her right away, poison her mind against this retarded cuck. He deserves everything bad, mke sure to make him kill himself.

Liberal radical centrist here. Like smoke weed, let gays marry, shoot guns, offend anyone you want and refuse to make gay cakes liberal.
I get called far right conservative all the time. Which is sorta true as I do want to conserve liberty. But labels are fucking useless because no one agrees on what they mean.

I red-pilled my dirty millennial brother

>falls for 'it's all the same' newfag meme

Good. Now kill him for his faggotry.

My buddy who got Bern'd by Bernie almost sexualy identifies as an attack helicopter at this point. The moment he began to realize democracy was a failed system I pointed him to Hoppe. It's been fun to watch and push him towards physical removal.

Me.

We know you're not joking EU. That's what makes you so funny.

was a syndicalist as a young teen
then a I realised people are too stupid and greedy for a system like that to work
now I beleive in authoritarian centrist isolationism

I was a green party socialist till last year. It's really a simple transition.

>"Everyone is the same. I'm going to use statistics to disprove Islamophobes.
>Holy fuck what is this

My family is from Scotland - with a little Irish intermingling.
When I realized that the the motherland is being invaded by Africans and Pakis I was horrified.
I don't want to see it become Africa.
It's only in spirit, but you have my support.

Racial realism is one hell of a red pil

You learned no one fears Islam, we just want it to fuck off from the west till it goes through massive reform or secularizes

That is the ugliest person I've ever seen.

I know a lot of people who won't give up the title liberal, but they are ready to oust hillary style identity politics from the democratic party. they still accept black identity politics but consider that the only group with a legitimate claim.

Fuck that, even without Islam there is a massive discrepancy in aptitude and overall society cohesion. Keep our countries europan and functional.

I mean completely fuck off, not a single one
Some would say a small few would be fine, but fuck no, not one till they fix their shit
all the half decent ones just stay in their own countries anyway, our politicians are turning our countries into their garbage dumps
tourism at most only, same goes for any other peoples

Good friend had a kid and that helped him see life differently.

I somehow never ended up as a retarded faggot, and the more I live the more I hate my species. I am nowhere near figuring shit out, but the majority of people I know personally who have a great grasp on living as a human, are on our side.

That it is, user. My old bus stop getting truck of toleranced shattered any remnants of leftism I had.

I haven't lost my compassion, but I'm firm on what I believe in now.

...

I've always wondered if that picardia was merkel's true end game, considering east germany was who tried to keep up german military tradition

I'm a senior in high school and have five very close friends. None of them are super into politics, but I knew four of them were conservative. The other was more of a centrist; her family is German, and her father and older brother support the German "social free market" system. Her stepmother is very liberal; she unironically said "girl power!" when my friend asked why she was voting for Hillary. Her stepmother is also a New Age "Christian," which is to say, not really a Christian at all. Her "church" is a "center for spiritual learning" or whatever where they have hugfests and yoga classes and all that uber-positive postmodernist bullshit.

When I was a freshman and sophomore, I went through a phase where I was very ardently anti-feminist (I'm still against feminism, but I'm not as vocal about it now). Through this phase, I redpilled my friends about feminism, including my centrist friend. This was the beginning for her.

Since then, we tag each other in cringey feminist posts while saying "cancer" and so on, so I know she's solid on that. I've also turned her into an economic conservative by telling her that taxation is theft (inb4 dumb ancap; I'm a libertarian who supports other taxes, just not income and similar taxes), and when she began working and saw how much money was taken out of her paycheck, she realized that the state is much too big and oversteps its boundaries.

Since she's German and her mother's parents live in Germany (in the town where there was an axe attack last year), I've also redpilled her on "refugees" and economic migrants. I don't think she grasps the full extent of the problem, but she knows what's going on because I send her links to stories about how Germans are literally minorities in some of their own cities and how it's only going to get worse.

I've still got a ways to go, but I once said to her, "Sometimes I unironically wish Hitler had won WWII," and she said "same," so I think she's pretty good for now.

...

your friends mother sounds manipulative and retarded
she has all the signs

this is why college kids are liberal and mid aged to older people are conservative.

I know, why should America focus on its own problems, instead of honoring our greatest ally Israel.

Me. Never was I at any point a lunatic progressive sjw or anything, but it was just *assumed* that I was a liberal, because for whatever reason, it's just something that is assumed in society. So I thought I was a liberal and that conservatives where just dumb or ignorant. I don't understand how Canadians can be so liberal though, half our fucking salary goes to the government, getting a doctor appointment for certain things literally takes several months, and our infrastructure is a fucking embarrassment. Meanwhile, welfare recipients live better than most people in my native country.

The irony is that I started to flirt with conservatism through Trump videos that normies shared on facebook, videos meant to show how pathetic and disgusting he was. First few times listening to him I just thought: "What are these people on about? This guy is unironically funny." And I literally watched all his videos because I thought he was entertaining. Then I started to look at the content, trying to understand why his words where SO controversial. Then I discovered other conservative personalities and talking points through youtube recommended/related videos, and at some point it just all clicked, I realized that today's liberalism is a mental disorder.

STOP MISUSING LIBERAL
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Liberal is still shit because they want the freedom to do wrong

you lost the semantics war a long time ago, user.

I know but the modern use of that word makes me feel autistic rage

Only me really, but it was about a year ago. Two years ago, I wasn't interested in politics at all. A year and a half ago I was a social Democrat, mainly because I was stupid and wanted free tuition. After the Primaries happened and I found out about the gerrymandering by Hillary, I started to lean ever so to the right. Around this time I checked out this website, never left, and eventually made my way snugly into a Libertarian mindset, and don't plan to leave it any time soon.

I'm a conservative that became Liberal. ask me anything.

I would say yes but I don't know myself anymore.

I was like this too. I thought that I was a liberal because I didn't believe in Jesus and I didn't hate people based on their groups, but I always had views that were sensible and functional while everyone around me just spoke their wishes out loud as if that constitutes a political belief. It took me a long time to realize I wasn't a liberal because liberals literally ignore reality if it isn't comfy and then just re-assert that monkeys can be doctors and money should be free, without even addressing arguments.

Not any who did a 180° and became conservative, but a few who switched from talking about nothing to politics to immediately ejecting from any discussion where politics are mentioned.
They've just poisoned their own reputation too much in that area, they'll never be taken seriously again when it comes to politics by anyone who listened to them before that change.

Me, myself and I.

What bugs me here is that's a problem with government, not the taxing model per se. Americans are taxed on par with a scandinavian socialist paradise, but our government is so fucking incompetent and corrupt that all that money is funneled to corporations without the public seeing a dime of it spent on our national welfare.

Like did you guys know we've ALREADY PAID for cable companies to give us high speed, fiber optic, Internet infrastructure across the United States?
newnetworks.com/ShortSCANDALSummary.htm

The bizarre disconnect is that you and your families respond to this fucked up situation by voting for the party that helps facilitate it. When you should be voting for people who want to destroy lobbyists and get regulations on corporations and penalties to have fucking teeth, not to mention hold public officials accountable when they make decisions ignoring public interest in favor of corporations.

Imagine all the money given to NGOs overseas too.

My best friend was raised in a liberal/Democrat house.

Loved the shit out of family guy style atheism, and the daily show.

Then he joined the Military, saw some real shit, and now is pretty much a conservative.

Keep in mind, my definition of Conservative is "Someone who is no longer willfully naive".

Aliens. lolmao. More heat than light.

>"Someone who is no longer willfully naive"

That's ironic, considering the ongoing situation with Trump.

Remind him constantly and twist the knife more so his hatred grows.

KYS thot

I've been pushed to the right by the left

What the fuck did you expect?

Reality is a tireless opponent.

Keep in mind, liberal in most of Europe is not at all the same as a liberal in the US.

In a lot of European countries, the liberal parties are center-right or sometimes even considered far-right (in terms of economics, not social policy).

In Norway, the Liberal Party is considered to be the most right-leaning party in pure economical terms, because of their opposition to unions, and they are described as "extreme" in their belief in the free market. In Denmark, the party "Liberal Alliance" is as close as you get to a European libertarian party.

While these parties are pro-whatever-pol-deems-degeneracy, they also hate SJWs and are avid supporters of free speech. The liberals of Norway has time and time again been crowned the champions of free speech.

A lot of these parties are liberal on EU immigration, and are in favor of more lax immigration laws, BUT they absolutely hate religion and often wants to defund it or cut benefits before opening borders.

How is that even possible in this current political climate?

Did you have an aneurysm and decide that stripping healthcare from millions of Americans was a good idea? Either morally or fiscally? Maybe you woke up one day and realized you were a sleeper agent for a country with a life expectancy a decade less than ours, and that you actually hate this country. Maybe you just want to ignore climate science and think climate change is a hoax, despite relying on that same science to get weekly updates on weather and the like.

Or maybe it's none of those, and you just want to deny woman access to contraceptives or abortion while simultaneously wanting to get rid of welfare support structures for unwanted children or teen mothers.

Maybe you think public education is an abomination, and want public tax dollars funneled into charter and private schools that aren't held accountable to any educational standard. Maybe you hate national parks, or public owned utilities or property in general, and would prefer if a corporation owned the highways you drove on so you could be tolled by them every day.

Seriously though. On what issue did the left force you to the right?
