Just curious, what age or election cycle did you start actively following politics

Reagan's first election

I'm in my late 50's. I voted every time. I really started following politics however during Bush and Gore recount.

At about 10 years old with the Jimmy Carter election. I remember there was a commercial of all of these Georgia people saying that while they would love to have a president from Georgia, this idiot Jimmy Carter is not the one. The country should’ve listened.

Hubert Horatio Humphrey and Richard Millhouse Nixon.in 1968.

BC (Before Clinton) I paid little attention to politics and pretty much cruised thru LSU in the '80s. Thanx to media indoctrination I was pretty much a "Go along w/the Liberals" type.

Then came Clinton. He was such a scumbag, yet the MSM pushed him like the Messiah. I began to see just how biased and corrupt the system was. I started listening to Rush Limbaugh. He covered stories the MSM ignored or ridiculed.

Also around this time we began hearing about something called "Political Correctness", now known as Woke. An Orwellian seizure of power - cultural as well as political - by the left.

There is an old saying that there is one decade in your life that shapes you politically. For me it was the Clinton years.

Clinton/Bush
The longer Clinton was in office, the more conservative I became.

I’m 43 and never really cared much for politics. Probably when Trump won his first term and I saw how crazy the left was and how childish they acted.

I did not vote because I figured Hilary would win and I was at the deer camp for that week. I remember staying up late to see who won and was shocked when Trump won.

LBJ era

In my 50s, not much. Followed Ron Paul for just a little bit. Kept up with Trump here and there first go around. The day he got shot, I became hard core MAGA. I liked him beforehand but I’m just not a very political guy until that day.
