What arguments have actually made you change your views on a political issue?

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Not exactly an "argument", but I think a critical look at other developed, Western countries shows where the US is lacking, in many cases a lot, and so that has made me more left-wing economically and opposed to austerity measures, even though most European leaders are center-right currently. Ultimately, I believe that free speech protections and openness to drug legalization are the only things we're ahead on.

Even my views on criminal justice reform have become more and more liberal. Norway's extendable 21-year prison term limit seems to have served them well. Their prisons resemble college dorms more than what the average American would consider prison. And as a result, they're keeping the real bad guys locked up for life (Anders Breivik will never see the light of day under this system) while rehabilitating the (majority of) murderers and rapists who are capable of being rehabilitated. Recidivism rates are low, there is no school-to-prison pipeline, and they fare better than we do in most other categories as well.
