My actual stances on a yes or no questionnaire probably haven't changed too much since 2015 (apart from a couple issues like immigration), but my disposition towards them and how I look at politics has changed a lot. You grow up a lot between being a 18 year old college freshman and a 25 year old in the real world. Plus, I've had a significant religious conversion in that period as well that has certainly impacted how I see the world. I would also say that is responsible both for my change of heart on certain issues and for my current heavy focus on religious issues and social conservatism.
Then, it probably depends on the environment I am in and what issues are currently salient as to how I come across. It's different being a conservative at Vanderbilt versus in an ultra-conservative evangelical bubble like I am now; for example, friends from my young adults ministry were playing this game where people had to say if they like a person/place/thing or not. When Joe Biden came up, a grand total of zero people said they liked him...and all of the guessers correctly predicted that absolutely nobody would like Biden. I actually get in more disagreements from the "left" in real life than I do from the "right", apart from when talking with people from previous stages of my life.
