Why does someone become a Liberal? (Quora)
I was raised rather conservatively. My parents ran a family business and voted republican. As a teenager I helped on the Reagan campaign for governor. But I can tell you the exact day I became a full fledged, scream in your face, libtard - May 4, 1970.
Now if you are too young to know that day, I will tell you it is the day that the Nixon administration killed 4 students on the Kent State University campus for daring to protest the war in Vietnam.
