How, as a white male, did your views shift toward the left?
How were you convinced to vote for candidates of the Democratic Party?

It is something my mind can't seem to grasp.

I became educated. I read. I traveled a lot out of the South and Mississippi. Also, moved to a big city. Realized Baptist preachers don't know everything.

Most of their views started to change when their wives told them to sit in the chair and watch. They began to feel left out.

So it's like a competition for you? You want to be the bigger dumbass and voting liberal always wins hands down in that competition. Nice.

That doesn't answer the question at all. There are plenty of well-traveled and well-read conservatives.

I'm not really sure what being white or male has anything to do with being liberal. I think its a stupid question that deserved a stupid answer.

They didn't. Conservative views shifted too far right for my tastes, especially on social issues.

I just had to look at the turds the Republican Party put up as candidates.

They shouldn't have anything to do with it. Hence, the question.

White males are the enemy of liberals. How do you reconcile your views, with the fact that your compatriots hate you?

Sounds like you are grounded in some good principles, there.

It’s pretty known that the more traveled someone becomes, the more open to new cultures and different ways of thinking they become. It’s not always the rule but the majority of the time that leads people to (maybe not leave the Republican Party) shift towards a more liberal way of thinking. That’s just a fact.

The Democrat party used to be the "working man's" party, but they alienated their base in an effort to expand their tent. The LGBTXYZ and now illegal aliens are the primary concerns of the dem party.

Good luck with growing your party by casting middle-america to the side.
