Nowadays we'll be drinking some beers on the porch and someone will toss out some casual racism, or ill be over at a friends house and they'll show me some "pretty interesting website" that turns out to be the gamefaqs spinoff luelinks "eti"

i've been noticing that the older i get, the more people i know seem to be conservative. they might have been conservative before but now they're open about it. it's kind of weird.

Its really simple - the older you get it is more likely that you'll find that you have a stake in society - you're invested in the system with car and house payments and a career and maybe kids to look after. Younger people with less financial commitment, investment and responsibility in society tend to hold more humanitarian, revolutionary and reformist opinions that pose a threat to established power structures. Older people tend towards conservatism to protect their investments - literal and figurative.

in consequence Ii believe we should remove the voting franchise from everybody over the age of 40

Nope, I'm from Texas and most everyone stayed there and rolls around in their own poo poo like pigs thinking they've got it all figured out and they're living the life. I have two friends that started going toward the liberal path with me and made tons of friends abroad from all over the world to replace my Texas ties. I still hold on to two conservative stances and am otherwise ridiculously liberal:

1) guns are fine. fix economic pressures and so on and you won't have violence. besides, the guns are out there now and controlling them effectively is impossible
2) Islam is the worst of all religions, but I'm fine with the people (and I'm not religious)

Going on to Facebook is depressing as poo poo because I still have Texas friends connected there and they believe the most retarded things that could be disproved with 5 minutes of Google'ing. And they're proud about their views and think they're the smart ones and just christ someone shoot them please thanks

Oh, one more view that I have that makes me cringe when my man crush Bernie Sanders speaks about it: the wage gap

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDj_bN0L8XM

It's bullcrap. It's a myth that never dies despite study after study, but the video does a decent job of explaining.

If you are in a discussion about politics and someone accuses you of being a right wing dipshit, you are probably on like Reddit or something because that doesn't happen in real life.

First of all, describing legitimate political beliefs along a simplistic left-right axis is first order bullshit, almost as if you aren't even aware that there is a Third Way.
