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

[Big Abraham]

A person’s political views are closely intertwined with, or bound by, a person’s character and cultural/personal background. It is not an accident that women lean liberal while men lean conservative. As views harden as people age, they become less susceptible to arguments that might easily sway a child. One might gradually change their stance on a handful of issues, but fundamental revolution in a person’s ideology or mode of thinking pretty much never happens even against the most persuasive arguments.
