Over the last two years since I joined Atlas: No real change

But, if you go back four or five years, I would have a slightly different position on stuff like drug legalization and prostitution ("I think they are wrong, and I would never do it, but they shouldn't be banned", whereas, now, I think they should be banned).  I also used to not care about the issue of gay marriage (although my kneejerk reaction was always negative when I would hear of efforts to allow it), one way or the other, and now I'm staunchly opposed to it, but I don't know that SCOTUS is overturning Obergefell anytime soon.  I suppose you could also say that I've become more conservative in actively opposing all "transgender" efforts, but that is more because it wasn't an issue until this last year or two, because no one actually thought "transgenderism" was a real thing then (which I still don't).

The biggest change, for me, though, is that, apart from abortion (which has always been my #1 issue), I used to care more about economic issues, but now I care more about social issues, even though I haven't moderated at all on economics- I just find conservative values more pressing and think that they are more under threat right now.
