For me, definitely leftward, I had my og name for a reason.

I would say it's more a reaction to Trump, I see myself slowly drifting back to the center/

Neither, but I've become a bit less libertarian and a bit more paleocon.

I haven't really changed much, but I've also only been here for just under 11 months.

You seemed more leftist in 2015-16 than you do now.

Maybe somewhat of a switch from the Tea Party to the Christian Right, but I don't know if you would call that leftward or rightward.

I think I’ve stayed about the same on the issues, but slightly to the right on rhetoric. I think I have become more worried about appealing to some of the center for the purposes of winning back the White House in 2020.

Rightward on balance. I started off being radically pro-choice but now a moderate hero on abortion. I’ve moved a little right on health care and immigration and left on trade. Stayed about the same on everything else.

I've emerged from 8 years on the Atlas Forum and more years of higher education than over 99% of the US with more or less the same position on the political spectrum I started with. It sure has been a strange ride, especially the last 3 years.

More leftward, although it wasn't a complete u-turn.

For instance, I voted Green ("second vote") in both the 2002 and 2017 Bundestag election. However, back in 2002 it was still more of tactical vote since I lived in Saxony-Anhalt, the election was too close too call, and the SPD had a good shot at winning a couple of overhang seats (which they in fact did in the end) if you voted for the SPD direct candidate and for the SPD's then-coalition partner's state list. In 2017, the vote for the Greens was more a vote out of conviction and I also voted for the Green direct candidate. In the first election I ever voted - a city council election in 1999 - I also happened to vote for a FDP candidate because in my teenage years I still had a thing from them.

You know the old saying: If you're not a conservative when you're 25, you have no heart. If you're not a liberal by the time you're 35, you have no brain. (No need to correct me on that one, that was a deliberately ironic falsification.)

Leftward, for sure. Also way less willing to support right wingers.

Slightly rightward, I don’t think all republicans are crazy anymore, back then I kinda did think that.
