The best way to state how I changed politically is fairly cosmetic compared to her.
I went from nice and sweet Scandinavian Social Democrat to a harsh and bitter Ataturk-esque Social Democrat.
There no point in going nuts over politics —- there’s always going to be lots of people who totally disagree with you that you have no hope of convincing. As long as they are not running your life (or country), the problem isn’t that bad.
Ataturk is a pretty fierce role model. You might want to dial it back to 11 or so on the intensity scale.
