I don’t know about that. If your brain works at 25, or 15, or 10 (when I first learned about union violence), you become a conservative then, regardless of your heart.
And mine’s pretty big. But I am no fool and have always been conservative.
I was a Reagan Democrat. Turned 18 the year Ron was first elected [1980]. Grew up in an Old Democratic house hold [back when the Democratic Party was all about the working man]. Reagan realized that the Democratic Party left the working class man [once they secured his union support] because they found a dumber mind set to exploit. The Welfare state. I had a brain at 18 when I first heard Ronald Reagan speak. Might have had it earlier, but Ron asked to open it politically.
