I guess I could have been considered liberal but most of my friends mocked me for be 'le edgy centrist'™.

I was definitely pro-choice (my cut off was 20 weeks because I had read somewhere that that was when the fetus developed pain receptors)

I was pretty pro-LGB not really on the T stuff even at that time, I pretended to accept it if someone came out to me but I kind of made an ick face irl about it (I'm in the gaming community so that was like a weekly occurence lol), I guess I was kind of TERFy in that sense

I was always anti-war, which you'd think would be a liberal thing but depending on how the media spins it apparently they like it (see: Ukraine)

I still am in support of decriminalizing all drugs. That one hasn't changed. And marijuana needs to be legalized federally so people can use credit cards and HSA/FSA for it.

For me, what did it was my pattern recognition. I started getting these gut feelings that things just weren't right. The media and even people's irl opinions had these gaping holes of inconsistencies. Like wasn't Donald Trump just that goofy weaky chinned guy from Home Alone? Or the eccentric billionaire with a hot Scandinavian wife? Why is he suddenly some racist homophobic xenophobic _______phobic boogey man all of a sudden?

And then all my husband's friends turned their back on him and started calling him those same names (all white liberals and 80% are forever alone bugmen).

So I guess the main answer is of when was I done with the left? Not one single moment but eventually it became a "fuck it I can't even adjacently identify with you emotional mosquitoes" and I registered independent. Probably should change that to republican so I can vote in my states primaries but, c'est la vie.

Edit: I tried to do bullet points but it turned into quotes lol
