I hate to break it to you, but your move left has been pretty obvious for a while. Which is fine. Except for crazies, I don't have a problem with people based on their politics.
Well, I'm more back to my college/grad school era style of being a democrat in the sense that I'm socially liberal and the right is actively fighting against that stuff and getting too good at it to ignore. I haven't changed my position on things, but I can admit that I could defend voting for Gary Johnson in 2016 a lot easier than I could defend voting for Jo Jorgensen and her podcaster VP in 2020. I'm open to a strong libertarian ticket in 2024, but I'm not holding my breath.
But again, in 2008 I was big on Ron Paul and Rudy Giuliani, so I guess I'm either open to change or I'm just hooked on backing the losers. I mean, I am from Pittsburgh and chose to be a Bengals fan and that has been the "right choice" for about 5 total years of my life.
So really, I'm as left as I've been in my adult life (I would have been MAGA as hell if this were going on when I was 15-20 or so). I'm off the chart, because I've gotten more liberal as I've aged.
Side note, republicans caring what goes on in college sports is odd since they've become so anti-college lately.
