changing my political views

Since that last republican win is the time in which I have had the chance to learn and understand. I've spent time in towns and cities all over the West. Some places I actually got stranded for a while bc of my car. I've spent time in republican based states like Arizona and Nevada but also plenty of time in Dem dominated California. I got to meet lots of Mormons in Utah. I've talked to people, heard stories. I have even been homeless for a time in CA.  I've spent time in the town that my dad and grandparents and sibling lived in for quite a few years in California.  
From this I gathered the particulars that allow me to make a rather healthy "Metaphysical universal." Quoting Francis Schaeffer.  
I have friends and family who are "ethnic."  
I didn't realize that they had already started to pick up on the reality of hate. Of course it was easier for them to see this.  
And there are ethnicities that I had not realized ever felt marginalized or denigrated in our society.  
This "education" has brought me far from where I stood in 2016.  
My values are the same. My value of less government. My concern for lack of value of human life. More than anything, my belief in God's design yfor our sexuality.  
But that does not determine my political stance at this time.  
I also agree with the idea of helping peopleuuvv who reach a low ebb. Maybe it has to do with homelessness. Lol. I don't agree with ideas about expectations ohqRyvrf people pulling themselves up by their bootstraps. But I also, like hV, am uncomfortable with taking too much of ouryrqyvuvuvrR monryhRhqhrhRvqyqrurvRhqRvhRqhRqhRVUqVhRHvrhhrGey. But worse yet, coaxing people into aimlessness and atrophy.  
Now it is easier to live in a purple or even a blue state than a red one.  
This Hanson guy hit it square on talking about our people wanting to return to a tribal mentality. Not rivalry over one being more moral than the other. Just hatred hauhRahrQ conflict. This is staggering.uauruatua5aaytvyvatvuavtvaavaaaàuvatytvvaavyvtayvaà7yvvvvaaHut
