You might be small c conservative, but there’s no time period where you’d be capital C Conservative; those guys have always been defending and furthering at least one abhorrent system or institution. Monarchy, slavery, segregation, neoliberalism, you name it.
Naw I maybe did not word it right. Im like halfway between where the center should be and far left but from the position im more inclined toward the center. So to me im a centerist liberal but what is called a centerist liberal is a right leaning politician which are mostly democrats now that the republicans have gone beyond extreme right since the base is made up of ideas that would get someone committed in the past and their core principles of old are considered fringe left (you know actually caring about deficits and rule of law and such). Republican reps from the 70’s and even 80’s and heck into the 90’s would be parias in their party now and fit in with the dems. Most dem politicians are right of me except like bernie and yang and such. Federman talked before his brain damage like something that would fit with me. Its funny even when talking extremes because liberal extremes are still based in left idiology so you can’t even compare to the right extreme now which again is just crazyness with no real connection to the historical ideology. Add to this that the republican party is so far that way that at best they are super right extreme moving from there to the batshit stuff we have now.
I have this interesting experience where I was at a catholic college for two years and then a state school. I certainly seemed liberal at the catholic institution compared to my schoolmates and center at the state school although sometimes I feel like I might even be a sliver to the right for the place and times. Im not really center overall and am left of center if things were normal but by maga standards much like everyone a sliver left or more I would be a wako commie super leftist.
Same. I feel like I’m conservative, but where politics is right now I’m pretty sure I’m considered liberal.
